Week of 10 March 2025 This week continued a bit like last week but without all the art exhibitions. I watched the moon instead. Eclipsed: the partial lunar eclipse I took some time to go to the beach and experiment with long exposures, which was fun. I’m limited in...

Week of 10 February 2025 The first full week without Kramstable at home. Monday was a public holiday, which I really needed. It would have been hard to go to work the day after the day I’d been so sad. A hot week . . . and then not...

Week of 2 December 2024 Another week where everything fell apart, and I know that’s black and white thinking and everything didn’t fall apart but at times it sure felt like it did. I was still recovering from the injury I did to myself last week, and a lot...

I love the fact it’s still light when I get home from work. Yay for spring! Yay for daylight savings!...

Juniordwarf has recently become rather obsessed with the album Tubular Bells III by Mike Oldfield.  It all started when he was watching a movie I’d made of our holiday to the mainland to visit relatives and friends when he was seven months old. One of the tracks I used...
