No blackthorn yet, tiny buds

Listening to & loving the starlings chatting & chattering in the playground this morning when some geese flew over. Not a good recording, spoilt by an aircraft but it still amazes me I can just grab this.
Despite the drizzle spring seems to have arrived in the Park.
The frogs were making a racket in the wee pond, this albino stood out.
Met a Scary Tree yesterday morning.
A hint of spring?
First time I’ve felt spring might be around the corner, beautiful blues today.
Sunday Serendipity
The weather outside is frightful, but I want to avoid the usual internet distractions.
A while ago I signed up for the Vmail newsletter. This is from VOLE.wtf and seems to be put together from stuff submitted by anyone!
One of the items was Wilderness Land a map of links generated from a google spreadsheet which leads to many rabbit hole sites.
Here are a few:
- Radio Garden a globe full of radio stations from around the world.
- Library of Colors Another site for serendipity, arranged around colour words from page titles.
- Pasta Guide Nice an simple site, lots of information without adverts and other distractions.
- corpora/data/words at master · dariusk/corpora found via the Library of Colors, lotf of useful looking lists of words.
- 🛰️ See A Satellite Tonight, probably not tonight here given the weather we are having.

Another favourite source of daily serendipity is the dailywebthing daily pointers.

Just found this wee guy on a shelf. New battery & it works. Mounts on Mac too via usb. Bought in 2005. Some old #TeachMeet recordings. I’ve still to find out the button presses that make it record. Back in 2005 I noted “Interface is pretty poor compared to an iPod”.
