Forth & Clyde Canal

A walk along the canal, east of Anniesland. Beautiful day, water really clear could see roach. Masses of flowers & bees. A couple of ravens on the gasometer. A sparrowhawk flew close to the surface & edge before flipping up, over the path & through the trees. A paraket too.

Looks like a useful set of posts about using ffmpeg. I gave this one: Stack Videos Horizontally, Vertically, in a Grid With FFmpeg a quick try.

Read: Music Love Drugs War by Geraldine Quigley ★★★★★ 📚
Beautiful book about a group of youths in 1981 in Derry in the midst of the troubles. Their difficulty in expressing themselves & sharing feelings is heart-wrenching. I raced through this.

If you had another job before going into teaching, what was it?

Missed this when it came out, fascinating replies and somehow reassuring.

 

 

Read: Luckenbooth by Jenni Fagan ★★★☆☆ 📚
A novel Maddox up of short stories over 100 years linked by a Edinburgh tenement. Gothic, ghosts, queer, beat, crime and more. Some seemed to flow for me better than others. Probably best read in fewer sessions than I did.
