Adding two plugins to the website this morning. ‘Search space’, by @sod is now at 1.0 so definitely time to give it a try. And while I’m at it I’ve also added his ‘conversation on micro.blog’ plugin.
It’s a rainy day so the regular bike ride is postponed for now. 🌧️
One of the many good things about micro.blog as a web host is its curated list of plugins like these, for the Hugo web engine it uses. My previous experience with Wordpress plugins was frankly quite frustrating, so I’m happy to imagine that the limited number of plugins available with micro.blog is at least thought through.
We think best when we bring opposites together
“We think best when we bring opposites together, when we realize that all these realities, one inside the other, are somehow connected. That’s how the wonder and amazement that are so necessary to both poetry and philosophy come about.” Charles Simic, Paris Review, quoted by Austin Kleon
I’m constantly amazed that something I just saw or read in one context appears again in another, completely different context. And then it appears again. Synchronicity? The availability bias? Magic? Whatever, it certainly enhances my sense of wonder at the world.
📷 Micro.blog March photo challenge, day 31: “practice “. Keeping the instruments out and ready to play makes it much more likely that I’ll get some practice. Seems like there’s no improvement for ages, then a sudden jump forward.

Penultimate day of the photo challenge!
📷 Micro.blog March photo challenge, day 29: “slice”
One of our local bakeries does a quite decent seeded whole meal Viennese style loaf - although you do have to slice it yourself.

I like to keep this old prompt front-of-mind: “simplicity is the key…”
📷 Micro.blog March photo challenge, day 27: “support”
Sydney has many more bridges than just the famous Harbour Bridge. This bridge across the George’s River evidently needs (and gets) a lot of support.
📷 Day 26 of the Micro.blog March Photoblogging Challenge. The prompt is ‘instrument’. This small picture was a gift from a friend long ago.

Fond memories of the time my kids and their friends made us this meal. They were so delighted. Unforgettable. 😍
📷 🌮Micro.blog March photo challenge, day 25: “spice”
When I searched my photographs for “spice”, this is what it found: a spice cupboard for robots. I guess.🤔🤖
📷 Micro.blog March photo challenge, day 24: “court”.
Walking through the parks near my house just before dusk. There’s a whole heap of netball courts, maybe 20, recently resurfaced

📷 🐝Micro.blog March photo challenge, day 22: “insect”
Just in time for a photograph, this native bee flew into the kitchen. There’s 1,700 species of bees in Australia.

In hot weather, spraying the leaves of this umbrella plant creates a noticeable cooling effect.
How’s your coffee art these days? I predict big improvements for my game. ☕️

When it comes to fancy architecture, nothing beats the Australian vernacular style.
A gift from my son: three intriguing books for my to-read pile (which never seems to get any smaller)! 📚
