Fi’s chitting potatoes in the shed. By the early autumn these will have grown into dinner.
Status:
Thought I might be able to do some bits and pieces today but had a slump in the afternoon. On the plus side a friend delivered loads of cardboard for me to shred. Can never have too much shredded cardboard. (It’s a composting thing.)
Yesterday I experimented with putting a grid of six photos in the post and I’m not happy with how it turned out, especially in the email where the formatting was nonexistent, so apologies for that. Will go back to keeping things simple.
Overnight listening:
Reading:
- Meet Lawrence, music’s last true enigma
- ‘The most dangerous man in America’: how Paul Robeson went from Hollywood to blacklist
- Discourse 2000: Minds Immeasurably Superior To Ours: ANT WARS
Intriguing:
- fungal.page - the Wikipedia page for Hypha rendered with a generative font which spreads across the page like fungal mycelia.
Watching:
- Koyaanisqatsi in five minutes 5:14
- The hidden engineering of runways 18:39
- How long would you survive with no DNA? 3:16 - also explains why people on chemo loose their hair.
Telly:
- University Challenge
- Hercules the Bear - A Love Story - quite torn as to whether we enjoyed this or not. Filmmakers were strangely uncurious about the ethics of keeping a brown bear as a pet, and the whole thing sings out “the past is a foreign country”, but still a remarkable story about a man in trunks who wrestled a bear.
