Meadow Brown on Thyme, Barassie beach on Friday. A lot of butterflies in the grass between beach & golf course.

Read: Upgrade by Blake Crouch 📚★★★☆☆
Climate change, gene editing, upgrades for humans. So fast paced you don’t really think about possible plot holes. Very much a page turner.
Read: The Dark Remains by William McIlvanney & Ian Rankin 📚★★★☆☆
Mcllvanney left half a manuscript, finished by Ian Rankin. Good page turner. Especially enjoyable for the 1972 Glasgow setting, chain smoking, pints & whisky in pretty rough pubs. The hero travels on the bus!

This is nice, I can keyboard the menu then see the shortcuts I’ve forgotten.
Got out yesterday and walked round the Glen Douglas trio of hills again. Map, photos and notes: walkmap
Large Red Damsel Fly Black legs are the clue to identify this one.
It has been a few years since I walked to The Whangie, it got to busy for me as lockdown eased. Glad daughter took me today. Lots of flora, a few birds & a nice lizard on the carpark wall. More on Flickr.

Hi Joe,
Another trio of fascinating links. podviaznikov.com took me to montaigne.io which the site is made with. Montaigne is a simple tool that allows you to publish any type of website from Apple Notes , the docs are not yet complete but I certainly want to keep an eye on.
Thanks!
Read: Chronicles from the Land of the Happiest People on Earth by Wole Soyinka 📚
A huge complicated baggy book. Perhaps reflecting the chaos of reality too much to read smoothly. Sometimes exciting, sometimes amusing & quite often baffling to me. I suspect some knowledge of recent Nigerian politics would help.

Meadow Brown
Had a short walk by Jaw Reservoir, yesterday. Quite a few butterflies about. These posed. A lot of ringlets, a few whites and a red admiral did not oblige.
I'm pleased to report that our iMac is now better than ever, thanks to Raspberry Pi Desktop for PC and Mac (also known as Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop). What exactly is this operating system with an incredibly long name? It is a Linux distro based on Debian with the Raspberry Pi's desktop environment. (This is not actually the operating system that is typically installed on the Raspberry Pi devices (Raspberry Pi OS), but Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop and Raspberry Pi OS are incredibly similar.)
Looking at mum’s old intel iMac in the back room…
