Reminded of the “Kurt Vonnegut goes to buy an envelope” quote. One of the best expressions of the joys of careful and deliberate inefficiency I’ve read.

Posted as image because the alt text has a higher character limit than a toot so I can paste the whole text as actual text there. Weird huh.

Having a Georgia O’Keefe moment. I love how grumpy she got when people kept pointing out how erotic her paintings were. I love how grumpy she sounded generally.

Went out to take a photo of the daffodils and the sparrows were hanging out in the pear tree, so I took some photos of them too.

My amazing talented husband made some T-shirts for fellow neurodiverse people (and anyone, really) and has set up shop on Teemill. Invoking husband privilege to do a promotional post. 🥰 #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity

Ah, this is interesting. Another bit of British propaganda falls. Looks like a key wrought iron process was stolen from African slaves. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jul/05/industrial-revolution-iron-method-taken-from-jamaica-briton

Every damn site: “get 10% off your first order” popup covering everything the moment you get there.

There won’t be a first order because of that, fucknuts.

I’ve got some time off booked over Christmas and I have to remember to spend at least one day in bed reading, surrounded by blankets and cushions 👍

I was early for the thing and had the choice of an overheated waiting room or a very rain-soaked bench outside in the sunshine.

Damp bum but worth it.

Really wet and windy this morning, bringing lots of sand and grit with it too. Probably a bonanza for this little one.

I have mead, I have put holly on the mantleshelf, I missed the sunrise but I got the solstice sunset, such as it was (the clouds went a bit orange)

Birbies dust bathing on the path. I keep meaning to sweep all that up, but now, maybe I’ll leave it. A video might have been better because in some shots you’d think “dead bird” but they were very much alive. Camera controls though, by the time I’d figured it out they’d have gone.

A beautiful mix of weather!

I’ve been making a typeface for the headers on my blog, and now it’s pretty much done I had a play making a fleuron. It’s practically the law that if you make a variable font you have to do an animation of it. So. ☺️

An animation of the word ‘flower!’ and an illustration of a flower going from a thin style to a very bold one.

Got all excited for a moment that there was some blossom on the cherry tree, but it’s a dove!

Just one dove, there’s normally two sitting together. I’ll be fretting about that now.

A dove preening its feathers while sat in a bare cherry tree. The feathers are ruffled and show a complex pattern like a cumulus cloud. The photo is in mostly tones of grey with subtle blues on the dove’s feathers and very slight tan tones on other feathers and the branches of the tree.

So say you have three colours/patterns:

Acid yellow/green stripes, bright, attention grabbing
Blue, the colour of sky, the endless expanse of air above
Brown, the colour of earth

and three electrical wires

Live - will probably kill you with bright burning sparks
Neutral - the return path back to the infinite expanse of void
Earth - the bit literally connected to the Earth, just in case

You can see where I’m going with this.

Reply guys: yes, I know, shut up.

I love this little tree. It was such a scratty, sorry looking twiglet when I bought it, but it’s like something tropical now.

The hotel room light makes a nice pattern on the ceiling. Might use this as a wallpaper
