I am displeased with FB who have disabled my account... Less than a week before my husband undergoes major surgery. I am there now as (omentide sklar). Istill hope to get mine back as their action was unjustified. Probably I type too fast. I will be reducing my FB presence as much as I can.

So now that Israel has admitted it's starving & besieging Gaza again, will all the US liberals who've made a show of 'standing with Ukraine' 'stand with Palestine'? Will they talk about Israel with the contempt they talk about Russia (also deserving, tbc) & Trump?

I have posted some of my (ancient) fiction on Dreamwidth with a view to trying to find out whether it's worth trying to polish it for a wider audience. Let me know if you would like access. I would appreciate feedback from people who do think they would like to read it. Also on my G-drive.

I am hoping the cat will forgive us. She was =forced= into a box, put in my car and driven 11 km. She had to wait (in the box) for ten minutes. She was taken out of the box, not allowed to explore and a strange (but nice) lady, felt her tummy and looked in her eyes then stuck a needle in her.

A bluetit flew into our window. This one, fortunately, recovered and flew off.

Scary, scary, scary. I think the graphs were deliberately confusing and a test of how well one could draw correct conclusions from confusingly presented data. Or how well you can distinguish between relevant and irrelevant information.

On the street market in Turkey, the hearts or bottoms are sold fresh and ready prepared, sitting in lemony water. Only, of course, when the season is in full swing.

In 'A Voyage to Arcturus' by David Lindsay (which I have just seen described as 'gender-bending, genre-smashing epic'), Tydomen dances herself to death on Swaylone's Island. I was looking for a place name for a commune/ashra in a novel I was writing and now it has become my handle.

Noble pen shells on the verge of extinction in Greek waters | eKathimerini.com Living populations of the endangered noble pen shell (Pinna nobilis) are now found in only two locations in Greece: the Gulf of Kalloni on Lesvos and the Amvrakikos Gulf.

I live in one of the areas (gulf of Kalloni) where these still exist. I wouldn't be surprised if I hadn't eaten one, though shellfish really is not a favourite food of mine.

How can you eat a bacon sandwich without brown sauce? My own answer would be 'quite easily'.
