Pottering about when I should be working...
I found these two beautiful sites, both via Fabulist;
An immensely touching little video, Japanese, but with a (slightly wonky) English version. For some reason, I've been thinking a lot about my father lately. He died about ten years ago, and I fear I was always a bit of a disappointment. Anyway, this made me cry a little because of that.
A personal little moon, rather reminiscent of this haunting BBC1 ident that I think I've linked to once before.
I also spent a long time looking at sites about gardening on roofs and walls, after reading a fascinating entry at the excellent Cabinet of Wonders (scroll down a bit). Rather than working on my own sadly neglected roof terrace. Ahem. My favourite link was about Patric Blanc's vertical gardens, most of which are in France, alas. He uses ordinary plants, not climbers, to cover vertical surfaces with thick greenery. Why don't we have anything like this over here? Surely they would do wonderfully in a wet climate like ours.
