I read, therefore . . . I get distracted. I craft, therefore . . . I get distracted. I Interweb . . I get - ooh, new book!
Something a warm day is good for:
- drying off after a shower.
Something a warm day is not good for:
- going out to an appointment later

Printer getting a flogging.
Good thing the replacement laser cartridge arrived.
Pen, highlighter and hardcopy FTW for a first serious edit.

Well, book finished, I think.
Which means it isn't.
Time to read and find how many typo's*, badly explained, not explained enough, and confusing bits are ready to ambush.
Still. Done.

*exactly!

Delighted to hear about this construction innovation due to a feed I've subscribed to, interested that none of the MSM news I view had it up in lights.
Contec Australia has completed the nation’s first multi-storey 3D-printed concrete home in Tapping, Perth.

Using a mobile robotic printer, the team printed the two-storey home’s walls on-site in just 18 hours.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Incredible footage out of Australia, confirmed by NEWS AU, of a brave bystander neutralizing one of the terrorists in the Bondi Beach attack which took place during a Hanukkah gathering.

Australian authorities say multiple people have been killed.

At least two suspects are in custody.

Around the year 1900,
18% of American children died before the age of 5.
Plus, their premature deaths haunted their families.

Vaccination knocked that death rate below 1%.

💉 Science saves children and families.

What was childhood like before vaccines?
The anti-vax movement has gone mainstream, but before these shots, grief and loss marked the lives of children.

Labour strikes aren’t new!

The first recorded strike in history took place in Egypt some 3,200 years ago!

The ‘Strike Papyrus’ records that tomb workers of King Ramesses III downed tools over pay and conditions circa 1157 BC!

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

Gallego: "This administration, since they started striking these boats illegally, has been very happy to show their snuff films . Now suddenly they're willing to show the first hit but not the second. Why? ... they're afraid the public is going to see the military killed 2 men that had surrendered."

New species of weasel discovered in the Hengduan Mountains of Sichuan Province, China.
A new weasel species just found in China. Every time I mention “dark extinctions,” people demand proof. But how do you prove the loss of a species we never knew existed?

There are more undiscovered species than known ones.
Extinction often happens before discovery.
