Been too long since I read a book with space ships in. This is very, very good, as good as the one it follows. @byzantienne.bsky.social

Must clarify that mostly Swiss train travel is beyond civilised

Here's something incredibly Catholic: the Sacred Particles. Some consecrated wafers were inadvertently stolen from a church in the 18th century and we're later found "uncorrupted".

I mean, Botticelli's Birthday of Venus is all well and good but I didn't know I was going to get to see THIS

There's been basking here also

Springtime in the park. Ducklings; heron; a perfect example of a 'desire path'.

Mother duck and her 8 offspring on the lake at sunset.

Heron standing purposefully at the edge of the lake.

A 'desire path' formed when people take a shirt cut repeatedly until it becomes a feature of the landscape. A muddy track between the trees forming the third side of a triangle of footpaths through the park.

The fact that Evri has been "expecting" my parcel since Thursday morning doesn't fill me with confidence.

Reading and enjoying Lolly Willowes by Sylvia Townsend Warner. If only we could all think like this in the face of the mistakes of others.

'Badger', he said, and smiled in explanatory fashion. Laura knew at once that he had been careless and had left the henhouse door unfastened. She took pains that no shade of blame should mix itself with her condolences. She did not even blame the badger. She knew that this was a moment for nothing but kind words, and not too many of them.

We're here. Lovely place but a bit parky. The heating has to be off because it's noisy.

Desperately need to up my office-based coffee game. Think a reusable single cup filter is the way forward.

The words are a poem by the brilliant Wendy Cope and the music was composed by a young woman called Lucy Walker. Imagine being able to conjure up something that beautiful.
