Afternoon walk around Beechwoods Nature Reserve, it's quite nice after it's been snowing.

You've seen Hollywood recreations of Viking epics. I've always had a bone to pick with how the actors portraying Viking warriors look. They all look like they're on steroids. This is a lot closer to reality, in my opinion.

I am a weirdo. I think attending a performance of The Joffery Ballet with a full score to follow along with is the coolest thing ever. (Yes, I did that once.)

This may be one of the many reasons why my neighbors avoid me at the mailboxes.

In my head (that vast cavern of doubts and regrets), I convince myself that I am rockstar famous for my #poetry. People want me to recite my #verse, and my collected works are scanned by schoolchildren.

Did I mention that it all happens in my head?

It is a certain hill. The one I imagine when I hear the word "hill," and if the apocalypse turns out to be a world-wide nervous breakdown, if our five billion minds collapse at once, well I'd call that a surprise ending and this hill would still be beautiful, a place I wouldn't mind dying alone or with you.

My current read and my next read. I’m actually quite pleased that I’m not quite going to finish the Postscript Murders before going back to work - the title of the O’Brian might have been a bit too “on the nose” for the Monday morning after a restful Xmas break!

The finished piece: oil on panel, 100 x 70cm. Portrait of my late father, from an old photo. I wanted to created a sense of transience, but simultaneously make him part of that place, rooted into the landscape. #portrait #grief #Mawddachestuary #Wales
Portrait of a man sitting on the ground facing the viewer, with his back to an estuary and mountain range beyond. He has his legs stretched out in front of him and hands resting on a walking stick, a pipe in his mouth. The palette is muted: almost entirely French raw umber, dark olive and warm white, with touches of Payne’s grey & ochre. One side is illuminated, whilst the other is heavily shadowed. The idea is to create a sense of transience and stillness (Wyeth was a master of this). The man’s clothes are almost transparent in places, whilst his legs and feet resemble a photographic negative.

It's genuinely quite upsetting how as much as AI has become so prevalent on that website, now it's just become a breeding ground for pedophilia & predatory behaviour towards women & that tells you right away that no one is safe.

I want to explain something about Path Semantics that I've realized recently.

Usually, mathematicians are scared of 3 things:

- Undecidability
- Incompleteness
- Inconsistency

However, I believe that's just how mathematics is in general. All 3. Why?

Because we make design choices in math.
