"One can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways." - Edith Wharton

In which I hang out with my Aged Parents who used to look like Joan Baez and Johnny Cash, we eat latkes for Chrismukkah, and we take in the new bio-pic about Bob Dylan, A Complete Unknown. Dad has faith in the Deep State, and Anne Applebaum sings the praises of the optimists.

Something lovely for your timeline!

Beautiful blue glass beads from the late Bronze Age.

Ploughed up by a farmer in Denmark in 1885, analysis shows the beads were made in Mesopotamia, pointing to long-distance trade in luxury goods some 3,000 years ago.

As pollution levels hit record highs and fresh water becomes ‘the new oil’, is it time to radically reimagine our relationship to the natural world?
