Lockdown – New Normal
First day back to Normal, or New Normal. Asparagus the object of the day. Coffee and cake with Gill McFarlane in the woods. I'd been promising for years for Alistair and her to come to the woods. I've missed Alistair- he died earlier this year - but a spontaneous invitation this morning worked. She was… Continue reading Lockdown – New Normal
Lockdown Land of Cockaigne
It started on Facebook, I think from a site like board panda, who attributed the origins to Adobe: when booooom.com partnered with Adobe to create the Remake project, which invited students across the U.K. to recreate famous artworks with photography.

Coronavirus Lockdown – Week 6 – HUBBLE
Distracted, I find this page on the Hubble. 1922 Edwin Hubble, at the Pasadena Observatory, measured the distances and velocities of galaxies, which led to his discovery of the expanding Universe. Work began in 1982 on a 2.4 meter mirror, and in April 1990, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope was launched into Earth orbit from the… Continue reading Coronavirus Lockdown – Week 6 – HUBBLE

Bike ride to collect asparagus, computer catching up, quiz, light food, ticked off by Ann for visiting Janet, asparagus run, Candace quiz.

Trump - when you think he cannot do worse, does worse. Who would vote for him now? This will go down surely in the annals of Trump, the recommendation of ultraviolet light or drinking or injecting disinfectant as a cure for CORVID 19 . Trumps daily press conferences have provided a canvas for Trump’s rage,… Continue reading Coronavirus week 5 Friday – Trump disinfectant
