Bothers wool. Thinks animals are ok.
Reads a lot.
Dreams of boats and land trains.
Might one day get my shit together.
Like some felt art?

It’s 5:53am and we are 17 hours into the continued out-loud reading of Moby Dick. Our friends on the Pequod just encountered the French ship, the Rose-bud.

There are still about 100 people in the main auditorium, about about 200 reading along in overflow rooms or in sleeping bags on the floor.

I can't get over the incredibly ugly back of a pub metal steps and the bland decor. How could you buy such a cool home and then do that to it? Amazing

These long nights with very hard frosts are the times when Wrens are triggered to nest communally. Take care not to disturb sheds or outbuildings as night time approaches, if you have Wrens in the garden.
They only approach in the deepest gloaming & can be hard to spot.

3/4 On really cold nights, wrens are triggered into communal roosting to conserve body heat. You'll notice that I placed a temperature probe in this nest box and the differential in ext/int temperature was remarkable.
As soon as milder weather arrives the birds revert to roosting singly or in pairs.

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling.

I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.
My best and favourite girl, Heidi, a German Shepherd, snuggled up with four small kittens There's a lovely tabby smooshed into her face, a ginger, and a ginger and white kitten on either side of the tabby, and a calico curled up at the bottom. They are super cosy and peaceful.

ANIMAL CRACKERS (1930) just entered the public domain and it's already on Tubi (and elsewhere).

I remember its 1979 TV premiere on CBS, after decades of unavailability due to rights issues.

I hope a new generation discovers the Marx Bros. now, just like I did then. #FilmSky #PublicDomain

I just discovered there are 24 series of Midsomer Murders, and I don't remember watching a single one.

After sixty years my gums are not so good.
I dental-floss them in the one-sex toilet.
Returning, clamber over wife and daughter
And look down five miles to the Hindu Kush…

January 2003 by D. M. Black After sixty years my gums are not so good. I dental-floss them in the one-sex toilet. Returning, clamber over wife and daughter And look down five miles to the Hindu Kush. You can see how India thrusts into Eurasia: Flat plates and frills of mountain rear and crumble Far as the eye sees through this luminous ocean On which our plane is riding, almost motionless, Almost without a tremble, as it eats The abstract kilometres. In front of me, A computer geek in glasses has not raised His blind since Kuala Lumpur. On the monitors The arrow pointing to Mecca has rotated To almost along the wing. Two countries away Across this lion-coloured world a war Is brewing. I imagine Our air-conditioned bubble dropping bombs On the tiny square of village far below us, Less than a camel’s foot-print. I get dizzy, Peering directly down. No bombs are dropped. Nor would they be if I were captain here Over this fragile, integrated planet, Spinning unscripted. Our bubble carries us, Deep in computer solitaire or sleeping, Safe, I can hardly say that, but for this moment Warm in the thin air and the killing cold.

I had no idea that just kidnapping the head of state of another country if they're a criminal and whisking them over to stand trial for their crimes was an option, but since it clearly is, we should crack on because there's LOADS.
