So good to hear reggae tunes for #6OfTheBest on Loz Lavoz's show on 6 Music for two days running. We need more reggae on the radio in these dark days.
Yesterday was a tribute to Sly Dunbar, and today's was to honour King Tubby, who was born on this day in 1941.

Every year on January 27 an empty old tram runs along the former Warsaw ghetto. It doesn't pick up any passengers in remembrance of those who were then no longer permitted to use a tram and were later deported and murdered. #HolocaustMemorialDay

The world’s first pocket music player was this tiny Mikiphone from the 1920s. A gramophone like machine.
www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/...
Invented by Hungarian siblings Miklós and Étienne Vadász though produced in Switzerland.
It could fit in a pocket, though only played 10” records.

It's Imbolc on Sunday, Saint Brigid's day, a chance to welcome the return of light and warmth, the end of winter's darkness, and the promise of growth. Spring's going to keep springing and nature coming back as long as we give it a chance.

Finally had some sunshine after days of rain and gales, so it was lovely to get out for a walk. Gave up on one route that was so ankle deep in mud that it threatened to keep my wellies! Today's view from the gap in the hedge up on the cliff -

Our newest rescued giraffe, Pips, likes to tail her Keepers around Kaluku. When a chore takes them further afield, they've devised a clever stopgap – hanging a jacket on her favourite tree so she can browse 'accompanied' by a comforting scent.
