Monday. Again.
An black and white illustration of a seriously unimpressed frog sitting in front of a circular pond. Apparently painted by Itō Jakuchū in 1790.

This has sent me into a spiral. He was an awful man. But I’m not sure that’s enough to make him a Bond villain. And then I start wondering what is a Bond villain. Is it gadgets? Deathrays with bondage arrangements? It’s a question.

Surprise of the day: the two young ones have started chanting WH Auden. Yes, there’s a rhyming chant in my house, about a train delivering postal communications. Don’t you worry, people in the shop on the corner (and the girl next door), because the kids have got your back.

If you were to ask me, ‘what boat would you be?’ There would be no hesitation at all. I would be a tugboat. (I don’t like how filthy that sounds. Tugboats are great! They help the big boats get into harbour!) Even that sounds rude. I have been on the Internet too long. Save me.

I made a resolution for the year, to notice sunsets each day. The beauty of the light changing, colours and so on. I have discovered that sunsets where I am, are white/grey skies going blue, followed by darkness. Not a red, yellow, orange or pink to be seen. This is why resolutions are a bad idea.

Evenin’
Four frames of a Moomin cartoon. Moomin (a soft of gentle white hippo-ish fellow) is looking down at his reflection in a pool in the first image, and says “ooh, is that me?”.
The second panel shows him, looking up at the top of his head and saying  “look at my nice ears”. 
The third panel, he stands with his hands on his hips and says to himself “and I’m so soft and round, no sharp edges anywhere”. He is not wrong. 
The final panel, he stands with his arms outstretched and one leg kicked forward, there is more energy here - and he says to himself “I think I look wonderful. Even if my legs are a little short.”

I was so cross for Ura! We have only just got by the November photos of the top of Ono’s foot on the clay against Aonishki, and then this happens. I love Onosato, but come on - acknowledge the man loses sometimes… it undermines him to constantly be said as ‘winning’ when he has lost.

In my 20s i thought i was soo sophisticated, because I liked dark chocolate, black coffee and various other things like certain films and music. I am much older now, and I still prefer dark chocolate and black coffee - but it all falls apart if you present me with a packet of jelly babies.

Family nagged me for years to get hearing aids. Finally gave in and have spent the last two days oiling every creaky door in the house. Oh, and those silent but deadly farts I've been dropping out everywhere I go; they're high pitched squeakers.

I've been lucky to have had the opportunity to photograph great gray owls many times, but this moment was really special. #birds 🌿
A large great gray owl is silhouetted as it spreads its wings high above its head in the reddish glow of the setting sun as it balances atop a thin spruce tree.

Freezing icy fog rolling in from the marshes tonight. The ground is all crystal silver with a heavy frost, and the air is a sort of shimmery grey/white where the fog and nighttime are mixing together in the street lights. Very pretty.

Sitting here the outside temp is -4°C. I just pointed the temperature gun thing, (some of you might call it a thermometer, so dull), at the room and it said 2°C. I then pointed it at our little fire, and no word of a lie-the batteries popped out like they couldn’t handle it. The INFERNO!

Just did a huge sobbing dictation to close family to explain a current situation, and the phone somehow made up a totally different message that I can’t even begin to edit (like who was it even listening to?). So I just deleted all. That’s annoying. I nearly communicated with people. Oh well.
