Wow! Dolly Parton is quite something: singer and philanthropist:
100 million books given away for free … It is now one of the largest literacy programs in the world.
she has responded to the global pandemic, by donating $1 million to coronavirus research
Also: BTVS!
Seven: “You have assimilated enough for one day. You have also provided invaluable assistance to the Voyager crew. You have exceeded expectations.”
One: “Then expectations were insufficient.”
Seven: “A simple ‘thank you’ would suffice.”
Clean and sweet smelling dogs. 😀 🐶 I retook the photo of Sasha because she did a giant yawn. I didn’t realise in the second photo she was sticking her tongue out, so here are both.
Two shaggy dogs have been dropped off at the groomers. 🐶
“Ever since my first day on the job as a Starfleet Captain, I swore I’d never let myself get caught in one of these Godforsaken paradoxes. The past is the future, the future is the past, it all gives me a headache.” – Janeway, Future’s End Pt. I 🖖🏼
Wow, just watched episode 1 of The Andy Griffith Show. Ron Howard, aged about 6! I used to watch that show as a kid. Turns out RH is a year older than me.
Finally replaced our 45 litre emergency water supply with fresh, bleached, drinking water. You’re supposed to do it each year…
It’s been ages since I last used Screenflow. It just took me several hours to make a 40-second ‘movie' for my friend’s birthday Zoom tonight. It’s clunky and hokey and poorly put together, but she did ask for ‘one minute of entertainment’. Informative too! Beatrice Worsley FTW.
I’ve had problems with motivation the last few days. Today I’m trying to shake things up a bit. Already done the daily stretches and about to take the dogs for a walk even though sunrise is still 12 minutes away.

The last few days we’ve had cloud, rain, and even the occasional thunderclap, and a rainbow. 🌈 Today’s blue sky reveals why the wind is so chill: snow on the top peaks of the Tararuas.
At last. We had actual rain for a few days — almost 68 mm all up. That’s nearly 4,500 litres in the household water tank. 💧
So good to read this from our Police Commissioner about community checkpoints:
our approach has been driven by a desire to maintain the trust and confidence of all, something which is so important when we police with the consent of our communities.
A sane approach to policing.
Usually Ravel’s Bolero drives me to be elsewhere, but this video is not only astonishingly creative but also utterly enjoyable: Juilliard Students Go All Out for Online Performance. A favourite bit: the garage door.

Thank you @brentsimmons for Undo Mark Older as Unread in NetNewsWire! My finger slipped. Phew!
Our tunnelhouse is still producing capsicums and aubergine. Small, but still perfectly good. These will go in tonight’s dinner.
Delenn of the Minbari: Withdraw or be destroyed!
Earth Force: Negative! Do not force us to engage.
Delenn: Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with a Minbari Fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else!
I’d like to thank @macgenie for allowing me to chat with her on Voyager Revisited episode 14 B’Elanna Torres: 50% Klingon, 100% Engineer. 🖖🏼
the Dreadnought missile is such a perfect foil for B’Elanna strengths and foibles
