Contemplating autumn poem:
No sun — no moon!
No morn — no noon — No dawn no dusk no proper time of day. No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease, No comfortable feel in any member No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees, No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds! — November!

"It never weighed more than a spoonful of sugar. Five or six grams of life, soft-furred and sharp-nosed, darting among the roots and leaf litter. At night, its voice once filled the forest of Christmas Island. Now the forest is silent. Australia’s only shrew, Crocidura trichura, is declared extinct"

Isle of Mull’s forests house the island’s squirrels, crossbills & other wildlife. The woodland hides intriguing historic features too, including ancient standing stones, forgotten villages & graveyards as well as - I discovered today - a surprising selection of vintage bikes, cars & postboxes.

Dunollie wood is part of the rare Scottish rainforest, also known as Atlantic or Celtic rainforest, an endangered habitat found on Scotland's west coast. It's characterized by high rainfall, mild temperatures, and diverse mosses, lichens, and liverworts, making it a globally important ecosystem.

Great experience in at the 'Ecotopian pedagogies' workshop skillfully organised by Heather Alberro at The University of Manchester. I learned a lot about utopias, mining-free futures, eco-punk, resistence & how others address the SDG hegemony in education.
