I took some peripheral photos of the current state of the world around the Anglia Square demolition. And it happening as well. It’s still fascinating, all the shapes and lines and alignments of a slowly degrading piece of city opening up and showing a bare layered soul as the world walks by.

The arm of one beast through the arm of another. Very black and white. I’m posting these here because Instagram is so utterly fucking pointless for photographers.

Rode a bike for the first time in about 25 years today, and saw the first chickens I've seen for about three months, which was a relief. The biking itself needs more practice, but I did at least not fall into a hedge or hit any parked (or moving) cars.

You can call them the chicken in the coal mine. Sentinel chickens can alert us to circulating mosquito-borne illnesses like West Nile and Eastern equine encephalitis. Here's how: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The wind blew so gustily at the back of the new house today that a plastic bucket I had left outside rolled across the patio, then turned the corner of the house and continued down the side passage. Had the gate not been closed, it would have reached the street, and after that who knows where.

Avoiding troubling my mother with the knowledge that a skinny feral cat frequents her garden, as well as the knowledge that some portly rats live in her shed and likely feast on the leftovers I think she fondly believes the birds of the garden devour. Hoping nature will take its course honestly.

"I brought him the Encyclopaedia Britannica and he asked 'what year?' I said 'I think it's 1911'...'Oh, the best year for that Encyclopaedia. Give it to me!' And he takes it and starts licking the book and the little old librarian says 'you must not lick the book, sir. You must not lick the books'."

Meanwhile at Lingwood Pond recently (normal sized ducks included as a scale reference).

Given how many little "big animals on wheels" we've had from all over the world, I think the prehistoric equivalent of "Truck Kid" might be "Ox Kid." (Ukraine, Crete, Maharashtra, Anatolia)

Apparently the only way the three year old will accept bathing now is if I vocalise non-stop farty sounds while wielding the sponge. Fortunately, I have trained a lifetime for this.

The most terrible thing about Blobby is that in his amoral chaos, one that does not judge, not discriminate, we a reminded of how small and how fragile we all are, and how little control we have over our existence; we are leaves, caught in the widening gyre of his hurricane.
