Just one reason @danielpunkass is a favourite app developer — I emailed asking for a way to tidy up Black Ink crossword windows scattered all over my screen. Minutes later Daniel sent a great Applescript solution. 😀
After a few hours the baling machine comes along, sweeps up the cut grass, then rolls it into big round bales, wraps them up and poops them out every couple of hundred metres.
Today the farmer next door was spinning the mowed grass into piles ready for baling.
As usual I was concerned when I went out that Sasha would be stressed. I came home to this! 🐶💤
I’m so ‘something’ that my neighbour has now seen the extremely cryptic and Nationally Critical Matuku-hūrepo, Australasian Bittern at our local lake 3 times, yet I haven’t seen it even once. She gave me permission to post her 2 iPhone photos from a couple of days ago. 🐦
This article is chock full of useful info for all users: The real secrets of iOS and accessibility.
The farmer next door is mowing today.
I missed the focus on this but still wanted to post this adult and two baby Oystercatchers. 🐦
Heh, followed a link on a webpage to this address: https://b-ok.cc (I’ve added invisible characters to ‘break’ it here) and got to this FBI Seized notice.
Whew, I’ve struggled my way through Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Translated (in 1862) by George Long. The language is dense so it’s hard going. I’d love to see a modern feminist translation. I’ve clipped a number of pithy remarks though. 📚
This post from 11 January 2022 took me by surprise today:
It’s a year since I ordered my M1 MacBook Pro.
I was just thinking yesterday how much I love this Mac. 2 years on and battery life is still phenomenal.
This rather ruffled looking baby bird stumbled across the deck and took refuge in the passionfruit. 🐦
These days when Sasha eats she spreads biscuits all over the floor. 🐶
Just found this printed photo in the archives. When I was a teen back in the late 60’s and early 70s I begged my parents to get us a Miniature Poodle. This was Andre. Of course I was in charge of walks etc. 🐶
Today I tried making Dorset apple traybake and it was delicious. We only had plain flour, not self-raising, the vanilla essence ran out, and we can’t buy Molasses at the moment. Even so, very yummy!
If you’ve never watched this 15 minute speech from 2012 then you should: Julia Gillard misogyny speech in Australian Parliament. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sometimes it’s an old movie that brings the thought for the day:
Pile up enough tomorrows and you’ll find you’ve collected nothing but a lot of empty yesterdays. I don’t know about you, but I’d like to make today worth remembering.
I enjoyed reading Mountain Town Murder: Jackson Hole Moose’s Bakery Not So Cozy Mystery #1 by Sue Pepper and may well read more of the series. I specially enjoyed the author’s life views on topics such as worker housing, and awareness of different perspectives on life. 📚
I just love timeline adjacencies!
