Woke up grumpy and decided today needed to be a bit different. We’d already planned to do a compost drop-off at the allotment but decided to also have a bonfire, since this is the month when bonfires are allowed on Birmingham allotments. A rotten shed needed to be disposed of, after all.
As has been written many times before, fire is a primal thing. Some of my favourite memories involved sitting around a fire with good friends. Watching a fire is something all humans benefit from.
So we sat and watched a fire. For five hours.
It’s good to be outside.
Overnight listening:
- In Our Time: The Decadent Movement - Beardsley and Wilde oh my! Nice bit at the end where they disagree on how elitist it all was - reminded me a bit of the left/right anarchist divide.
