Distraction Aggregation for the past week or two

  Image echoes There are obviously only so many ways you can photograph large mining operations and people nearby but the peculiarities of problem and solution closely juxtaposed and then the reaction too it in more ominous fashion seems oddly resonant. Image credit Brad Johnson  (found via Mastodon ) Image credit Marius Michusch  (found via Mastodon ) Termite The word Termite is a portmanteau and contraction of the phrase 'terminator mite'. A mighty mite that might terminate your place of dwelling from the outside in with you in it.

Time on my own

  Time on my own makes me cook things, things I wouldn't normally cook with 3 vegetarians living in the same house. Slow barbequed brisket being one... ...and roast belly pork on tabouleh with improvised master stock being another. Other things time on my own seems to make me do is binge-watch old TV series and fall asleep on the sofa. Also, I make beer, as much beer as I have the capacity for in my system. Unfortunately what it hasn't done is provoke me to write any more or amend my habits around meditation or alcohol consumption. Clearly some form of cognitive intervention is going to have to take place for these. Bugger.
