A bit of fun last night at 3am. A snake in the bedroom aircon. Seems to be a brown tree snake (Boiga irregularus). 🐍

Some years ago my good friend @thewilliamgeorge.bsky.social lent me his Mamiya C220 camera. Here are a few photos I took with it. The goat and tree are at James Cook University in #Townsville. The water is the dam near Paluma, in North Queensland. #JCU #goat #nqfilm The film is #acros, dev’d #xtol.

Lately I’ve been drinking a lot of filter coffee. I like to drink it in a glass so I can admire the colour. Just a plain glass. I like my filter coffee best lukewarm. I drink espresso (photo) from a double-walled glass as I like espresso to stay warmer. #coffee

Eight years ago today my friend Dhruba Ghosh left this world. He was a great musician & beautiful human. I remember most his music & silly jokes.
I took these photos in 1999 when he & I travelled from Mumbai to Sholapur, where he was giving a concert.

My top music listening last week according to Last dot fm. Is based on track numbers so is biased towards albums with lots of shorter songs. The classical an Indian music is often missed. #lastfm #musicreport

It’s been a while since I did the #esotericbookchallenge. I think this is book 14. I first saw this book in the student common room in the Asian Studies building at Australian National University around 1985. I was a student of Sanskrit there.
