@artleuk.bsky.social Wednesday 3s for us. I should have been quicker as I’m reading a recent book.
Early stroll. The sky has taken delivery of a moon. Orange letters and numbers painted on the pavement. I cross the road earlier than I usually do. Two triangles of bread in the bus shelter. Maybe one day that metal butterfly attached to that wall will fly away.
I carry the papers into the shop as the shopkeeper goes into the back room. As I leave, Doug arrives and we stand talking about heat and rain like characters in a Somerset Maugham story. We gaze at geese flying by.
😂😂😂😂😂we had another 30 seconds of rain in SE London today, I rushed outside hoping to be soaked.
The new Prime Minister is writing a "10-year plan" for the UK. The arts & culture MUST be part of it. I've signed @campaignforthearts.org's petition urging @andyburnham.bsky.social to revitalise the arts – to revitalise the whole nation 🌱 Join me: www.campaignforthearts.org/petitions/10-year-plan/

Today is Venn Day, in celebration of the mathematician John Venn, born on this day in 1834. To commemorate the occasion, here’s a poem in the form of a Venn Diagram.
This is so weird. I had no idea this was happening. You can't just slice bits off songs
The Guardian@theguardian.com · yesterdayA pressing issue: why are vinyl albums becoming so different from their digital versions?
Weather Report: hot tarmac, in car, dust fields & smoke. An 80min drop-off became a 5hr creep along the M4. A lorry fire of combusting hay, fields of straw monoliths. Slow pass-by Liddington Hill, Richard Jefferies’ Farm; twice over the Magic Roundabout. Good company. Emotional Weather: resigned
Early stroll. The joy of walking through drizzle. Home made curtains making a home. I see a man waiting for the bus then I see him on the bus. A flowing cat. I am the verse, each gate is the chorus.
As I wait outside the shop the men come to empty the charity clothing bank; there are a lot of handbags. The shopkeeper arrives and I carry the papers in. Doug walks in holding his hand out as though he’s catching rain. We all laugh.
I was about to do the washing up when I came across this email from the economist and decided to read it instead.
@lewesswifts.bsky.social We have a straggler here in RG1
The Alt #BirdOfTheDay theme is most captured. #Robins for me. Last November Roberto first visited us as I planted Tulip bulbs and my lovely wife was enchanted. She didn't live to see the tulips and Roberto vanished soon after she died but other Robins now come. #ForJanet #Photography #ECK
Clacton you’re letting us down. You’re letting the country down. And mostly, you’re letting yourselves down.

Fascinating change in BBC news bulletins about Reform. Farage announcement on small boats only gets the third spot and is balanced by critics saying he's trying to distract from allegations over his finances. Quite the change from the uncritical coverage earlier this year.
Fifty is generous, too. The whole idea is for these things to run themselves. There was an article recently about how some are using those Boston dynamics robot dogs rather than hiring security guards. The troubleshooting is mostly automated, with the exception of the part swapping listed below.
Chris DeLeon Ⓥ make your own games@chrisdeleon.bsky.social · 5d agomany of the data centers need as few as 10-50 permanent workers. they aren't software engineers making apps/services. it's $60k/yr people who can check if a hard drive failed and swap it out and monitor if a cooling fan fails even the one-time construction jobs aren't local, they bring in outsiders
Good morning all. Let's show once more that there is a place where beauty, joy, laughter and kindness still live. #BlueSkyMonday #Moonscape #EastCoastKin #ECK #PhotographersUnited #PhotographersOfBlueSky #Photography #DailyArt
