For every domain you buy this month I’m donating £1 to help rebuild Venezuela after the earthquakes. My in-laws’ homes survived with only a little damage, but so many people lost everything. I’m sure you have an idea in need of a domain nestling away somewhere, marque.at is the place to get it!

Felt like a total peasant at the cheese monger yesterday 😅 The lady was patiently walking us through flavour profiles of a variety hard to soft cow/goat/sheep cheese (earthy, nutty, etc) from various terroir and I was struggling to fit them into my pre-existing framework of “orange or marble” 🧀

Ever feel like the authour is trying to pick a fight with you, Dear Reader?

Highlighted passage from Roberto Bolaño’s 2666: “What a sad paradox, thought Amalfitano. Now even bookish Pharmacists are afraid to take on the great, imperfect, torrential works, books that blaze paths into the unknown.”

There are two words after a person says “Don’t worry…” which trigger the opposite response in me and those are “… I’m armed!” (currently reading 2666 and this is how he ends a chapter. 😊)

This photo came up in my memories: a massive tapestry that took 1.5 years to complete and depicts 38 kinds of flowers. I wrote a bit about the Kyoto State Guest House a few years ago (with photos of its many modern treasures) chadkohalyk.com/2022/09/2…

A vibrant and intricate tapestry showcasing various blooming flowers in shades of red, white, purple, and blue against a textured, multi-colored background.

Just before my very last semester of uni I borrowed money to fly to Japan and rescue my long-distance relationship. Was supposed to be only 7 days. Patched things up (we married!) but then all airports shut down and I was stuck. Got a job at a local uni as a translator. 25 years ago today.

Home river (The Kicking Horse). Absolutely freezing glacier water that empties into the Columbia just a little further along past that green pedestrian bridge. Pretty high and silty due to hot temps causing runoff
