I saw a note from Sarah Honeychurch in an email thread about a problem with FeedWordPress, the plugin that makes the ScotEdublogs Aggregation work. This alerted Alan Levine who raised an issue and simplified the solution. Alan also had blogged about the problem, with his usual speed!

I’ve applied the fix and this post should test it out. Thanks Alan!

Read: Seascraper by Benjamin Wood ★★★★★ 📚

Little waves are shouldering the cart’s tyres, spitting upwards at his face. The sea is patterned by the rain like honeycomb. He’s trying to make the best of it, but he can tell the horse is getting more reluctant.

A wonderful novella. A few days in the life of a young horse & cart shrimper working on a misty flat coast. Beautiful slow description of the daily grind in the cold & wet. The story unfolds slowly into drama, dreams & music.

Raven in flight, Black and white

Kilpatrick braes, yesterday, short loop. Low clouds, some drizzle and a few bright spells. Quite warm. Paths like burns after yesterday’s heavy rain. On the first field a buzzard hunting. A couple of ravens appeared & moved it off. After the deer fence, under the trees, I saw them again, or another trio. Again the ravens chased the buzzard off. I could hear them kronk and also making an almost electronic 2 note call I’ve not heard before.
