The momentous beginning

Went to two concerts this week in the wonderful Cordes sur Ciel festival. Cordes is a fortified medieval town at the top of a hill, which floats spectacularly above the surrounding countryside. The festival offers top-notch chamber music by young French musicians in the 14th century church. It's organised by violin-maker Christian Urbita and his cellist wife Sue.

I have been forced by the children to create my own robot at Robot Rage. Tomorrow will be Tarn Master's first outing and I know he is going to be slaughtered by Koboi, Mr Pizza, and Daggerduck.

Thank you, Guardian Online, for pointing me towards Theodore Gray's Sodium Party. This is what happens when you dunk large chunks of sodium in a lake.
