Return of the Bug
UTI has come back, now on a second course of a different antibiotic and awaiting results from further tests. ION, Infest in Bradford was amazing. I'm glad I went but I suspect I still wasn't 100% recovered so that may have had a part in the coming back of the bug.

Revolutions and other stories

Discovering the 'fediverse', of which Mastodon ( Read more... ) -
Another Friday...
Doing my Friday morning banjo lesson in Australia.
Feeling a little bit like in Groundhog Day, another week rolls by pretty much the same as previous, maybe a little more in the ways my body tells me time is passing nonetheless and entropy increases and I develop new aches and worries.
Reading four or five books at a time now, although I'm not sure ( Read more... ) -
Photography things
I am not a photographer. I do take pictures and normally I have a clear idea of what I want to get, in terms of composition, etc -but I seldom get it without some effort, hence I often shoot lots of takes of the same scene ( Read more... ) -
Stop talking to each other and start buying
This is a long article -and I had already posted it in a couple of other places, but I feel it is an important discussion for those of us who live part of our lives in these spaces ( Read more... )
