I wonder if he was in Barkley Square???

Doggone it, it's spelled Berkeley Square (and no edit option) ..... sigh, two peoples mis-speaking the same language..... maybe one day I'll get to London and get to see the place....

ANY cheese is in danger around me......... nibbling after hours is SO good (especially on New Year's).... Greek yoghurt I gotta pass on, I prefer the regular type. In fact, I'm off to make a breakfast smoothie pretty soon, with it..........

Our homeward step was just as light
As the dancing feet of astaire,
And like an echo far away
A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square.

Generally night birds sing at night, but you never know, especially if the poor thing is lost and confused in the city lights. And I suspect Justin knows a nightingale song from a skylark.

Wouldn't it be lovely to skylark with Justin through Berkeley Square? looking for doors of imagination under nooks and crannies in the bushes? Did that come out right?

you know what else I really liked was his comment about sending his songs out into the world (they're on their own).... I'm just getting ready to sell a sweater I knit LONG ago, on consignment (I hate it when that happens, you work on something then don't like it once you're done), and was thinking about that.... I've made a lot of knitted goods, and they're all out there somewhere. One day where I worked in Portland, this little old lady walked in, wearing one of my vests!!!! I know it was mine, because of the way I finished the sleeves.... it was cabled, red, rather nice. I'd given it to my Mom, but she was nuts and sold a lot of things at garage sales when I wasn't looking. Anyway it was rather exciting to see an old friend like that (you spend a long time on knitted items sometimes, and they are like children) she said it was very warm and she liked it very much! Couldn't ask for more than that.

yes, alas coffee seems a thing of the past for many of us.

I found that "murmeration" thing with starlings a few months back, I suspect it makes the rounds on the Internet, but that's right, some of the videos are made in the UK, specifically in the Oxford area and west country, so it must be something Justin is quite familiar with. Weren't we talking about math and chaos theory with it?

I went to youtube and did "starlings flocking" and got quite a few videos. It IS quite amazing. I remember some of it in California as a child too, but not in these huge numbers. Fish do it too, in Diego Garcia I saw some fascinating surf fish doing it. I'm not sure what it's called in behavioral sciences, but I've also heard a term "the chorus girl effect" used.
