A Jell's park visit, a Blue-billed duck[1] and a pair of … hmm … Pink Eared duck[2]!
Well that’s a first! The Blue-billed duck was easy to ID, I don’t see many, but they differ enough from the endless Black ducks. The other pair were swimming past quickly, in the distance, but distinctively patterned. Checking up the books that must be what they were, so one more for the list [1] Blue-billed duck [2] Pink-eared duckthe flower buds on the street-tree plum are just starting to show their pinkness

A hollowed out orange sits by the compost bin, the possum is very kind in its sharing. One every day or so, we get to eat the rest
Down the garden in the dark to find some parsley, up above in the plum tree a Ringtail poss.[1] watches as it nibbles away on the leaf buds

Who wrote it? How long has it been sitting on my desk? Where did it come from? A quick search and it is a book – The Real World of the Bayeux Tapestry – was I thinking of trying to get it as a present for Jo?#fixie fixed, chains lubed, tyres pumped, all bikes fettled and ready to the week

About
ajft looking stylish and black
…The Owner
There’s not much more I can add to who I am.
…The Site
Vanity site? Technology experiment? Learning tool? Blog? Journal? Diary? Photo album? I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you…
I experiment. I play. I write and I take pictures. Some of the site is organised around topics, other parts are organized by date, then there’s always the cross-references between them.
Its all been here a fairly long time. Like the papers on my desk, or the books on the bedside table, the pile just grew… and it all grew without much plan or structure. I try not to break URLs, so historical oddities abound.
Long ago it started as a learning experiment with a few static HTML pages, then I added a bit of server-side includes and some very ugly PHP. A hand-built journal/blog on top of that PHP, then a few experiments in moving to various static publishing systems. I’ve never wanted a database-based blogging engine, so over the years I’ve tried PHP, nanoblogger, emacs-muse, silkpage and docbook before settling on Emacs Org mode for writing and jekyll for publishing. But the itch remained… I never really liked jekyll and the ruby underneath always seemed so much black magic. So now the latest incarnation is Org mode and hugo.
