Read: Three Summers by Margarita Liberaki ★★★☆☆ 📚
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.

A right way would contradict its nature, which is anarchic

so I used passata & spaghetti. I’ve normally made this in a more complicated way. I’ll revisit soon, by the book, with fresh tomatoes.

from Rachel Roddy’s An A-Z of Pasta. Planning to get through all the ones without meat perhaps in 2022.

Bookmarked Gif it Up Winners 2021 (gifitup.net)

Grand Prize Winner Nisha Alberti (Edinburgh, Scotland) Source material: A gynaecologist strokes his long red beard. C. Josef, c. 1930 | Wellcome Collection via Europeana 3 Runners-up...

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.

Another two ways of looking at the year’s flickr

A year ago yesterday I posted 2020 in a photo which was the result of a ds106 daily create. I ran my video of a year’s flickr photos through and script that averaged them and a slitscan processing process. Details on that post.

I decided to try the process with this years. I am not sure if the results are interesting or not. I did enjoy the process. This years photos stopped in October.

Here is the video again

and the results:

Here is the montage of all the pictures. I wonder if there are any other ways to play with the years set?

Timballo di anelli siciliano
Anelli baked with tomato, aubergine and cheese
But I used chifferi rigati, turned out nicely, I particularly like the butter and breadcrumb lining of the dis.

First of, I hope, many recipes followed from Rachel Roddy’s An A-Z of Pasta. Planning to get through all the ones without meat perhaps in 2022.

RSS Via Shortcode to Page & Post plugin removal

RSS Via Shortcode for Page & Post

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!
