Hello new folks! Thanks for stopping by. Sometimes I post about biochemistry, but it’s mostly cats/classical music/books/things in my garden here. Live from Cornwall. Beardy, generally worn down by academia.

Also, get to know the people in the basement of your building, and be on good terms with them. You'll need them!

Not a bad day at all, mind you. All’s well in the parish.
Heading towards the leat at St Ervan.

Boxing Day stroll. One of those feral rural churches that creeps up on you.
The path leading to St Ervan church, Cornwall. Sycamore. Fresh.

Quite remarkable. The light of other days, and all that. 28 years before I was born (- adjust as appropriate). 28 years ago, just a moment, really; Tony Blair, Jurassic Park and britpop. That does seem equally distant, thinking about it.

Yes. He also refused to turn the lights on when using the kitchen (or bathroom) at night ('not necessary'). I miss him.

Essential Xmas gifts from my smallholder relatives. (Not wrapped, but that’s OK).
Fresh Brussels, cauliflower, swede. Happy Christmas.

Grandpa Ginger says don’t you dare describe him as ‘orange’.

Some optimistic (hopeful?) primroses out already for #wildflowerhour (St Ervan, Cornwall).
Primula juliae. St Ervan churchyard, Cornwall.

I would incorporate the complete TL3 sequence, unless you think it would be detrimental to expression somehow.

@ralitza.bsky.social random question, but do you know what this is? Is it a pickle/preserve? My Polish neighbours gave it to me for Xmas, but have gone home for the holiday, so I can’t ask them. I don’t want to open it if it isn’t a preserve.

An advent flâneur? Meandering locally, but only until Christmas?
