A left-angled trapezoid on the graph of political philosophies, apply me no labels. Other descriptions might include an Architect at Large, occasionally writing complete fiction but mostly working on zettel.io See also simon_lucy@mastodon.social
J has picked the first basket from the plum tree, there will be more from one tree.
Each morning J picks enough sweet peas to furnish a train of bridesmaids, this morning also includes a posy of pink dahlias.
Unprecedented can only happen once, others have sought to avoid investigations of fraud, some have whilst being an MP. And one, precedent which matches reasonably with Farage is the case of Viscount Chelsea in 1842.
The boundaries of Mercia under Offa is a reasonable start. The vigilant will see that the North West is included as well as part of the North East.
I'd be interested on the opinions of the group in this interesting find at Burlish Top, a managed Nature Reserve. A box surrounded by three aluminium fences in a triangle. The box has no visible opening.
J spotted this moth yesterday morning in the garden. It's a Box moth, whose caterpillars devour Box plants, and I mean devour them. We have one still living. The rest went to blight and this little bugger's children.
Today I found Nixey's Harlequin by A.E. Coppard, a selection of short stories published in 1931, a first edition in the large Charity Store in town. Perhaps not the greatest condition but not bad.
This morning, on my wife's morning walk, she encountered a perfectly calm squirrel no more than a few feet away who consented to a photo shoot.
In the future, judging by this £1 coin, there won't be much coin that's recognisable by archaeologists in the future.
It's going to be somewhat sunnier today but the front garden includes this.
I know this is a visual comparison but still. The white areas on the map is where there was no local election.
What looks like a ruby tailed wasp, about 6mm long. It's a parasitic wasp. I've never seen it before and there were 3 or 4 on the decrepit bug hotel. I imagine they're looking for eggs to infest.
A rabbit hole I fell down on Saturday, finding a copy of Tangerine Dream Liverpool Cathedral 16th October 1975
An occasional attempt at a panorama. This is the back garden on the 19th April just after 1 o'clock. This is somewhat heavy on contrast, including fine contrast on edges but the result on the clouds is interesting.
As I do, I realised I hadn't moved some music I'd bought from Bandcamp to actually listen to it. I fixed that and moved 1991 by Maisie Marra onto the Roon Server and it's very interesting ethereal voice mix and with lowcore. I'll listen again. So thankyou bsky.app/profile/bellelugosi.bsky.social
A double ring rainbow when we were enveloped in rain cloud and the rumble of thunder.
I came across this Bumper Collection of Tchaikovsky by Karajan on DG and Decca 21 hours or so. It's on Tidal, I imagine it's on other services.
I haven't found the oldest, which is probably a Tandon Data PAC more polo shirt from about 1985, but I still have the hand painted T shirt from Monterey and still wear it at least once a year. I think my first US visit at DRI in 1990.
Playing Jennie Abramson, without hearing her in concert with him you can tell how well she mixes with Peter Gabriel. Kärlek & Makt, Love & Power (I think)
A surprise for Spring this morning, Children of Strife, @aptshadow.bsky.social from my wife.
