Kamikaze figures influenced by the Icarus myth, perhaps. I was in town yesterday and bought a couple of books for holiday from the Amnesty, second hand bookshop - Amy Tan and Jim Grace, we have a different kind of secondhand bookshop in Brighton. And the holiday promises a keep fit regime. The physic (sic - that should be physio, damn Apple autocorrect) has supplied exercises for the dodgy leg and I will be in the pool first thing every morning and probably last thing at night too. Doesn't sound much like a holiday I know but it will be and I am looking forward to it immensely. And last night I restrung a mandolin to take with me. I hate restringing instruments. Some say its cathartic but i find it a chore and do it less than I should. What I do like though is the sound of the new strings as they begin to pick out the harmonics of the instrument again. Yesterday I taught Dan how to restring his guitar (I have been spoiling him by doing it for him) but being a left handed stringer, though a right handed player, he strung the top three strings to be tightened anti-clockwise, ah well, he'll learn. I love listening to this pair, they make two voices and two guitars go a long way:
