This was a fascinating 13 minutes: How Much Of You Is Alive?:
You’re alive right now… at least I’m pretty sure you are. But you’re not TOTALLY alive. Bits of you are always breaking down, being thrown out, and being replaced.
This 10 minute movie was lovely: When Long Distance Works:
Long (first-date) story short: She asks her to her best friend’s wedding.
The … series spotlights 3 emerging women and non-binary filmmakers who each created a short film inspired by a real-life Bumble meet cute story
I read and enjoyed The Chase: (The Diving Series Book 15) by Kristine Kathryn Rusch. 📚
I backed the Kickstarter and received an early copy. The first half confused me a little with several different storylines. The second half wove them all together in a gripping way.
It’s typical spring weather today: rainy, windy, changeable, cool. So I dug around and found 4 photos from this day in 2018 when we were on holiday in Niue. That was a good holiday.
I’ve used BBEdit for years now. It’s fabulous for working with and processing text. Today I whisked up an Applescript that numbers selected lines so as to create a Markdown numbered list. The built-in line numbering function doesn’t seem to allow me to add the dot I want.
Today I happened upon these recipes I want to try:
- My Everyday Green Smoothie
- Cheese Scones
- Rainbow Vegetarian Pad Thai with Peanuts and Basil
- Pasta cacio e pepe
- Six-Minute Vegan Chocolate Cake
Maybe this week I’ll give a couple of them a go.
They’re far from perfect but they beat any of my previous attempts to catch a hawk in flight by a mile. 🐦 I’m reading and learning from Dan Bailey’s book: X Series Unlimited.
Pushed myself today on my bike: rode to the intersection with State Highway 1, 9.2 Km away. Total return ~19 Km. 🚴🏼♀️ Some head winds were a challenge. Mix of light battery assist and none.
I often bike around Waikawa Beach on a ~9 Km circuit. Yesterday I went beyond this slightly for a ~12 Km circuit and turned the battery on my electric bike off for ~4Km. Today I’m slightly achey. I have till April to build up for my West Coast Wilderness bike tour. 🚴🏼♀️
After @cheri’s photo of Dutch Apple Pancake, with its perfectly placed apple slices, I decided to have another go at making it. Again, delicious! Better slice placement (I use way too much apple and like it like that!). Tried a couple in muffin moulds, with ‘interesting’ results.
I bought my Fuji X-T2 camera a few years back with the intention of growing into it. 📷 That growth has been given a big nudge this week with my discovery of Dan Bailey’s tips and lessons. Practical, easy to follow. I’m looking forward to trying out some stuff.
At the river mouth this morning: looking left and looking right.
Cuties from the deck this evening. Baby rabbits from a burrow in the paddock next door. Welcome Swallow, Warou, on the Zendo roof. 🐦 🐇
You have to watch out for the swallows: they build mud nests over doorways and light fittings, and in the garage if you leave the door open.
I only recently discovered the free Merlin Bird ID app and it works well (for photos, not so much sounds) even here in NZ. 🐦
users answer a few simple questions or, snap a picture and then [see] a short list of possibilities tailored to location and date.
I like it!
Apparently I keep forgetting how to do this:
Rename flags In the Mail app on your Mac, click the arrow next to the Flagged mailbox in the Mail sidebar. … Click the flag name, click it again, then type a new name…
Formation flying.
Black-backed gull.
