Currently reading: Antlers of Water edited by Kathleen Jamie 📚 finding so many interesting Scottish writers I’d not read. The temptation to put the book down and search is strong. I also do not want to finish it too quickly.
My class have been working very independently on writing, recording & editing a podcast episode, published on glowblogs of course.
Out now Episode 5 of the Banton Biggies Podcast. Written, recorded, edited and published by the pupils in p6-7https://t.co/2rpeKtQnCS

Another year another flickr video
Since 2014 I’ve been making “movies” with my flickr photos for the year. I make them with a script which downloads the years photos puts them together into a movie and, use to, add music. The Music bit is broken (https) so I downloaded some manually.
This year pretty much stopped in October, then I got covid in November and have not been out much since.
I also average the photos ( below) and montage them for the featured image. This year I made a version of the script to download wee square images for the montage (average & montage scripts here).
I enjoy both the process and watching my photos flickr by. I like the fact that I can easily tweek bit of the script or run the video creation again quickly to try out different speeds, music etc.

Shutting the door after the horse has bolted. Covid booster this morning. Minimal queues👍
A good few years ago I bought an iRig Mic for making short podcasts at conferences and the like. It worked well for me. I’ve not got much of an ear or wallet for mikes. Last week I dug it out for my class to use in their podcast. It still works well enough for our needs.
Read: Ms Ice Sandwich – Mieko Kawakami ★★★★☆ 📚slim, slight but gently moving story of an adolescent boy in Japan.
One of my favourite things to do when insomnia strikes to read my ‘on this day’ page. 6 years ago I was involved in a podcast I’m particularly proud of.
This 5 year old post reminds me of one of the benefits of indieweb technology, the preservation of Twitter comments.
Well it looks like the save as draft in micro.blog works for WordPress blogs too. The get posted as drafts. I like that. I often write drafts that never get published. Writing some posts is cathartic but they do not need to be read.
Although the 7-day incidence rate of infection in Scotland began to increase during the COP26 summit, from 330 cases per 100,000 on 1 November to 389 cases per 100,000 on 13 November, this increase was primarily driven by rising cases among children between 5 and 11 years old. In the final week of COP26, case rates rose in the adult population aged 20 to 49 years old also, but stabilised and started to decline in the two weeks after COP26 alongside the rates amongst the younger age groups.
Interesting the increase in covid 19 during cop 26 was in primary aged children, not cop attendees.
