Purple is a many-splendored thing
I recently posted a somewhat sideways thought to twitter. Expanding the thought properly requires more than 140 characters, so I'll do it here rather than there.
Purple number one: VioletImagine looking at a rainbow. (If a real rainbow is available, stop wasting time reading this and go and look at it. Admiring pretty things is a vital and ( Read more... ) -
Unresolved
I had intended, once more, to try and get back into the habit of posting at least once a week, as the closest to a meaningful new year's resolution I was likely to manage. Squeaking my first entry of the year in just before the end of March doesn't really meet that (not-so-)lofty target, does it ( Read more... ) -
Power corrupts, but we need electricity
On the whole, the last few weeks have been pretty good (by our standards) in terms of stuff actually getting done. There are more shelves in the living room than there were a week ago (although most of them are as-yet unfilled), and the piles of boxes are starting to show further shrinkage. We've also switched over to our new electricity supplier ( Read more... ) -
That time of year again
Once more winter has come; once more the solstice is past; once more I have almost completely failed to be even remotely organised. But

A year on
Well, a year and a month and a half, or thereabouts. Since we moved here, that is. Much of the stuff we had plannedhoped to get done in our first year remains entirely not done.

Over at the Frankenstein Place
I seem to have fallen off the at-least-one-post-per-week wagon again, don't I. Oh well. This isn't much of a post, but hopefully there'll be more to come in the near future; I've finally managed to get round to processing a batch of photos to start putting up. Flowers, Sunsets, and parts of the fort to come in the future, but for now have the ( Read more... ) -
Eye Upgrade
Update, sorry, I meant update. It is almost back to normal functioning now, but I don't (sadly) have any cyberpunky extras like a built in telephoto lens or infra-red vision. My pupil is round again and dilating normally, and the related pain seems to be gone as well. The steroid drops make my vision a bit dodgy - focussing just isn't quite ( Read more... ) -
A passing thought
Why don't hazardous waste bins have "Caveat Emptier" on them? -
The play's the thing
I've been asked if I can let anyone who is both in/near London and might be interested in it know about "a staging of Midsummer Nights Dream exploring equality, the patriarchy and LGBTQIA+". I can't really say anything more about it, since I've not seen it, but if anyone here is interested, performances seem to be every evening this week. (With a ( Read more... )
