I own a clever man
A tall man holding a pair of binoculars on a fence projecting the eclipse onto a plain white canvas propped against a garden fence. You can’t actually see the binoculars in the picture.A close up of the plain white cavas propped on the fence with the image of a partial eclipse projected onto it An extreme close up of the projected eclipse - it is much thinner now. There is a thin red line on the inner curve and a thin blue line on the outer curve - the teenage  physicist in the family says it’s something to do with shifts

In the 1850 preface Charlotte is very clear he is not white using those terms. My main take away from this re-read is that Nellie Dean is a fucking monster though.

We moved into a place which had been recently redeveloped - the garden was only lawn and no flowers. I had to scrape out a patch and scattered some wildflower seeds. Glad to share it with #wildflowerhour and our visitors

The #pacecentre speech therapy team took part in the #bigsilence for @speechandlanguk.bsky.social yesterday. We shopped, worked and went to a pizza party using digital AAC. It was eye-opening as a team who support AAC users to see how interaction style and frequency shifted doing this
