Mensah’s expression was not critical, but I can tell you the face she was making did not indicate that she thought Tural or Indah or anybody in the immediate area was doing a great job.

The guys I worked with were not in good shape. It's not hard to figure out why rates of alcohol and drug abuse in blue-collar industries are through the roof: people self-medicate. The physical toll is simply not comprehensible to people who have only worked in offices.

Science fiction authors designing aliens need to aspire to at least the level of weirdness of a real bucket orchid. Coryanthes macrantha in my greenhouse this morning. Flower is approx 15 cm wide, 10 cm tall. 🌴🌱

A bucket orchid in shades of orange and yellow. The bucket is formed from the distal end of the labellum and the column. Glands drip liquid into the bucket. Bees falling into the bucket can only escape through a hole at one side where they will be forced into contact with the pollen and stigma at the end of the column. The hole is pretty large, so the bees must be equally big. The sepals look like big wings made of tissue paper that counterbalance the bucket. The base of the labellum where it connects to the rest of the flower looks like a weirdly ridged orange alien penis.

some creatures you might find in the woods.

Two panels; top is of some glowing sprite type creatures huddled together in the grass and the second is a big black serpentine creature with blank yellow eyes moving slowly through the forest.

This is one of the biggest differences. Top is the digital transfer, bottom is 35mm. The top is what they designed, but they designed it knowing that the brightness of the molten metal would end up illuminating the scene on film - which doesn't happen in the digital transfer.

Hunchback of Notre Dame scene with molten metal falling. At the top, it's a digital transfer which appears dark and you can't see the details of the building. At bottom, the molten metal illuminates the scene.

If you are developing a faux-medieval society, for gaming or your novel or because you are Just Like That, and you care about the fictional economy or material culture (but only if you care!) I urge you to spend a moment contemplating salt. Salt.

Had a last minute trip to Shrewsbury before back to work on Friday

A photograph of a medieval hall that is now a cafe with outdoor seating. At the end of the alley is St Mary's church

A photograph of a statue of some dude's face, sans nose

Mad cow disease. Having to wash our shoes and the wheels of the coach on school trips, and watching the livestock carcasses burn also 9/11 but that was less immediate for me, as a small child in the UK. I just remember the adults being horrified and afraid
