Finally getting around to reading @essj.bsky.social's Darryl after seeing I think @jsellenberg.bsky.social talk about it ages ago? Anyway, it's great, Darryl's voice is :chef's kiss:, and *of course* he's a Lebowski guy.

It's made me pull Berryman's Dream Songs down off my shelf.

Last day of summer vibes.

Written out quickly and a bit ugly...

Late to the sign meme, but loved this bit of guerilla activism at an intersection close to @sheffielduni.bsky.social that really needs a pedestrian crossing. Just walked by it this morning and the sign has been taken down.

Thanks! Here's the people who will be streaming by you in an hour or two.

Just finished session Zero of Slugblaster by @wilkiescandylab.com with @thebadspot.bsky.social , @jenduckie.bsky.social @andrewwormald.bsky.social. Excited for first session, and not just because the endpaper is the 15th and final pentagonal tiling to be found. (And a tiny K-Theory reference...)

First learned about ginger congee when reading The Year of Magical Thinking, and didn't really know what it was but it's comforting powers stuck with me, I made it once, and now it's a go-to.

Any food you love that you've learned from a boo/song/ someplace you couldn't see/smell it first?

Birthday books!

"Oh, I follow @antonhur.com on Bluesky!"

Scotch and chocolates and socks not pictured.

How about some roses? (is a rose is a rose is a rose)

This immediately brought up Thurston's "On Proof and Progress in Mathematics"

TFW you're exploring on your long run and only vaguely know where you are and stumble across the outdoor market with the good coffee.

I thought everyone had their own copy? (I think mine was around twenty pounds from the massive Sainsbury's).

Somebody was thrilled to be watching the Lionesses.

Fun on my run!

Today's run was more of a sanity jog, stopping to just enjoy the rare snow.

In happier news:

Of course that counts.

If you want it not to count switch it to your kid being a bat on Halloween this year (mask handmade by her elder sister).

One last coffee in the park before the cold snap hits.

It's the leave work early to still have a little light on the walk home time of year.
