### Updates

A beautiful week in Dublin - shirtsleeve weather all week, and the beach in Killiney was packed out most evenings. 

The interminable lay-off process is continuing, and things are starting to look clearer now. I'll definitely be leaving Meta, and I'm making plans about what is next as I go. 

Highlight of the week was a trip to Marlay Park to see The Cure playing on Friday night. It was a stunning evening, 40000 people enjoying the park with the Cure coming on stage at 20.30\. Over two hours later, wed had a journey through their discography and an awful lot of fun along the way. My pictures are [here](https://www.instagram.com/p/DaFZlGPDO6H/?img%5Findex=1&ref=mattrutherford.co.uk).

Quiz night was a loss for us this week - a tough evening, but we'll be bouncing back next week. The Mighty Atoms are mid-table at the mid-point of the season, so we're OK. 

**Reading**. I started The Future of Truth by Werner Herzog this week and I'm enjoying the first few chapters. 

### Recommended Music

This week, something new.

'Now Claims My Timid Heart' is the new album from Aris Kindt, a US based duo named for a criminal captured in a Rembrandt painting.

These are ambient, downtempo soundscapes with a complex, cinematic sound. I've had this on repeat this week, and I urge you to give it a try.

Highly Recommended.
