Read: Antlers of Water: Writing on the Nature and Environment of Scotland edited by Kathleen Jamie ★★★★★ 📚
Marvellous anthology astonished me, the range of writers on what I consider my sphere of interest that I had not read. Lots to follow up, just one e.g. Amanda Thomson Art.

3 girls growing up in Greece, lovely scenery, with the feel of long repetitive summer days. A lot going on behind the scenes that slowly emerge.

GIF IT UP is an annual gif-making competition for the most creative reuse of digitised cultural heritage material. It is run by Europeana in close cooperation with Digital Public Library of America, Digital NZ and Trove. In 2020 new content partners joined the fun – Japan Search and DAG Museums in Kolkata, while this year we welcome the Art Institute of Chicago.
HT to Paul Bond for reminding me. Some nice entries. I have entered In the past but forgot about Gif it up. A fun way to draw attention to some serious sharing of digital by museums and libraries.

RSS Via Shortcode to Page & Post plugin removal
I’ve been using this plugin on several pages on this site for a while. Recently I’ve seen errors on some of the pages and occasionally on other posts pointing to this plugin. I checked and it has not been updated for 7 years, so decided to pull the plug.
Rather than find a new plugin I just changed the pages to use the new Blocks editor and add feeds using some blocks.
For some I used the Display Remote Posts Block – WordPress plugin. This I discovered & installed through the add block interface & found later that it has installed a plugin. On others I used the built in RSS & podcast player blocks. All three seem to do the job.
Examples: RSS block, Podcast Block & Display Remote Posts.
I am not ready for the Block editor full time on this blog. I’ve been exploring it a little on Glow Blogs. But I’ve got a few things here that are incompatible (eg. Post Kinds plugin) and for my blog the classic editor, is usually more than enough.
We had a walk round Ardinning this morning, first time I’ve had boots on since testing positive on the 12 November. 2 and a bit flat miles was enough! Muddy. Grey day with low clouds and a bit of rain. No wind at all!
The two, berry covered, rowan trees outside our flat have been nearly completely striped by redwings over the last day or two.
