Cannot believe the last thing I watched on my crap old telly before it went to the electronic afterlife was a reality show about selling houses worth more than every single property in York added together, instead of something more high brow.

Happy Winter Solstice!
These photos were taken with a pinhole camera I made from a beer can and left out from Summer to Winter Solstice - a 6 month exposure.
Bottom line = Winter Solstice. Top line = Summer Solstice.
The lines are the Sun moving across the sky w/some reflections. No line = clouds

Thank you @annierutherford.bsky.social for the introduction to Ella Risbridger’s ‘What We Talk About When We Talk About Cheese,’ which made me well up on the school run this morning. ‘The women I know get together and talk about their mothers./
Oh God, my mother, let me tell you about my mother…’
Oh God, my mother, let me tell you about my mother…’

Word of the day is ‘librocubicularist’: one who loves nothing better than reading in bed.
