^^^ the Nightime world looks very different, @missF and now my mind is off to the Floating Marketplace of Gaiman’s novel Neverwhere. Oh, the places we can go when thinking is the best way to travel.

Hey, just a thought: maybe Sting was actually the 25th astronaut to walk on the moon?

Nah, I read that he wrote Walking On The Moon in a hotel room somewhere, and it's about the dizzy feeling you get when you fall in love. There are alternative lyrics (not sure if he wrote them or they came later) - 'walking round the room'

Re: New C1 Moonglow in Celestial Blue
Time kind of divides us around the world- we have to wrestle with time zones and the disjunction of eating breakfast while the person we're talking to is finishing work. But I like the fact that we can connect around the world underneath the moon

I also love how thoughtful the moon makes me feel. I hope that CW will always make moonphase watches. Someone has to

Re: New C1 Moonglow in Celestial Blue
Oh I say, I do like that – I’m streaming it right now. I see it contains this song which I have quoted before here in the Most Beautiful Songs thread. He’s playing the lute in Durham Cathedral. Beautiful Middle Eastern treatment of a wonderful mediaeval English Carol.thomcat00 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 17, 2025 1:08 am I’ve been a fan of Sting and The Police since the early eighties and I found his “If On A Winter’s Night A Traveller” album in a second hand shop not long after it was released. Apparently someone found it too much of a departure from Sting’s more typical songs. I very much like it. Back when I was playing guitar my guitar teacher was primarily a baroque style lutenist (and also oud and saz player) which translated well to my guitar interests.

Re: New C1 Moonglow in Celestial Blue
Check back a couple of pages. There are pics in the wild. Partially held is probably because the strap/bracelet choice that you ordered is currently not in stock.Maverick_John wrote: ↑Fri Mar 21, 2025 10:24 pm Hi everyone,

Re: New C1 Moonglow in Celestial Blue
@Maverick_John
Hi
Mine too was marked as 'Partially held' up until it was dispatched. Not sure why, as there only was one stock strap. I'm sure yours will be dispatched soon. @Massman64 received his first (of those that have popped up on the forum), and he's in Boston! I received mine in UK almost a week later, and another UK delivery happened a week after I received mine. So there may be very little rhyme nor reason to the dispatch schedule, but take heart - yours will get to you soon I think!
Hope you'll post some pics here when yours arrives

Estimated date was set as March 20 but no correspondence explaining the delay.
It has me in edge a little bit your comment is reassuring .
I'll surely post photos once it arrives.
Appreciate your help
