jdberry/tag: A command line tool to do tags on Mac files.
I don’t use tags much, mainly to quickly mark a set of files going down a list with quicklook. I’ve now got an applescript that will simply tag the selection in the finder blue. Keyboard shortcut via FastScripts.

Read: Rose Nicolson by Andrew Greig ★★★★★ 📚
Scottish History the 1570s, a period I am ignorant of. Glad to get an entertaining education & hints of what to search Wikipedia for. Fair bit of Scots, a tale of a furniture dealer, poet, scholar & courtier. Exciting as Stevenson.

Reading: Angel Hill by Michael Longley
Swallows
From their precarious nest-cup
The swallows whitewash our turf-stack.
When we set fire to their excrement 
They will be crossing the Sahara.

Read: The Colony by Audrey Magee ★★★★☆ 📚
engrossing exploration of colonisation & its woes in Ireland. 1979 adventures of an English artist & French linguist appropriating, each in their own way, the culture of an Irish isle are interspersed with reports of death in the north.

Read: Oh William! by Elizabeth Strout ★★★☆☆ 📚
I think I liked this better than the original Lucy and not nearly as much as the Olive books. I think I prefer her older characters.

grid of photos round the map where they were taken. Autumn trees, Dumbarton Rock, Raven, reed bunting, map, kestrel, crow on a fence, hare bells, autumn trees.

Walk to Duncolm. A sparking day, photos map & notes walkmap

I’ve now plotted 61 walks on the same map which is quite interesting. Spacebar hides the map tiles for that abstract look.
