What is this I see in my local supermarket?

Sometimes when you're feeling burnt out, getting up early helps more than sleeping in

Eastern Spinebill on our Kunzea! #birds

Photo of a small honeyeater on a Kunzea branch with flowers. The bird is slender, coloured in orange, brown, black, and white, with red eyes and a long, curved black beak. The flower in full bloom is bright red with yellow tips and resembles a bottlebrush (callistemon).

They also favored symmetry and lace-pattern grid work. The later is a weaving technique used to mimic handmade needlepoint lace or mesh netting. #Fashionhistory

#LYICMGat50 50 recordings, ahead of my 50th birthday. At #16 we bring in film music. The three extended Lord of the Rings scores amount to over 14 hours of music and they are epic. Howard Shore’s imagination blazes throughout, matching Tolkien’s towering inspiration.

I love Calvino! We actually studied one of his stories from Gli amori difficili in I think second year Italian at uni. Not too hard at all

Baudolino was really great. I would say it's Eco's other essential novel after The Name of the Rose and Foucault's Pendulum

Had the day off work, so I went out to see the new Spider-Man movie and picked up very nice copies of Memories of Murder and The Housemaid

With the loss of Sam Neill, I haven't seen anyone talking about Dirty Deeds, a really fun Australian film with an incredible cast

It's rubbish that Sam Neill was never nominated for an academy award. He was a terrific actor

I think the question gets harder when you move away from Proust. Proust is high profile enough to get plenty of human translation attention which will always be better. But what about works that aren't "profitable" enough to get human translation? That's more of a dilemma for me

Went for a walk early this morning and there was a jumper on the roof to the next building with firefighters inflating a jump cushion below. I didn't hang around because I don't think my heart could have dealt with seeing something go wrong but now I'm all worried about what happened
