Words On A Saturday

Another day, another post to write, and another blank mind to overcome. On another day this could be the latest reading overview, but not today. Today has to be about writing in the stream, and never wavering from that path. Yes, I could wander off on tangents like 'Sapphire And Steel', 'The Six Million Dollar', 'Going Postal' or Rimsky-Korsakov, but who can say for sure? Actually, it was really nice to listen to some Rimsky-Korsakov on Youtube recently, the great piece known as 'Scheherazade', named for the character in 'The Thousand And One Nights'. It was breathtaking. Classical music can often be breathtaking, if you allow it to be.

It is a Saturday, the day named after Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture. It's lovely to think that we retain such names, the other notable one being Thursday, named after Thor the Norse god of Thunder. Where do the other day names refer to? They're interesting and less obvious, and worthy of being investigated...

Again, it is a Saturday, and things are slow. Last time, the story 'Diary Of A Laundry Robot' was extended, and is proving rather fun to write. It's fun to write about laundry robots in an alternate dimension's future, co-opted to clean the hats of pan-dimensional history wardens. The randomness is fun.

There will be more words on another day, but for now no more.
