My phone was nearing capacity so I had to download a few gigs of pics… here’s some highlights from the last days of GDL to yesterday afternoon:

His perseverance paid off…
Wish the timelapse had a viewfinder..
…cos the sunflower seeds just to the left did very well.
Last night midomi saved my life
Well not literally.
6 weeks since my last post eh? That’s got to be some kind of new record. Sorry about that, I’m sure you found other ways to spend your time though. It was probably good for you to take that break. What did you do? Learnt a new language? A musical instrument? The harpsichord eh? Good on ya. Upload a cover of something baroque to YouTube would you. Thanks!
I nipped over to the UK and Eire for a few weeks just to check in on everyone and have a fine old time. We’ve been back in Brunswick, Maine, Top Right of ‘Merica, Last stop before Canada, for nigh on two weeks now. It’s still cold and that snow that fell last week is not going anywhere. I’ve taken up ice-skating and am working on describing graceful figures such as 1 and 0 in the ice.
The 'one-glove' technique There’s a song I’ve been trying to find for almost a decade now I think it was on one of David Byrne’s compilations. It’s a Brazilian duet so I could only sing it phonetically. I think it’s about arrows. Probably. Anyroad, usually if you want to find a song on the internets you usually just google a few words from it + “lyrics”, but if you don’t know how to spell them, you’re stuck. Same with instrumental pieces (like this one). So I thought I’d try www.midomi.com. You hum it for 10 seconds, then it searches its database for songs that match, and lo and behold, first time it found what countless hours of googling couldn’t. I’ve been listening to this over and over. It’ll warm you up when you’re in the negative celsius.
It wouldn’t be a proper post without an Atticus update. He’s almost back to his usual self after 3 weeks on the mean streets of Harpswell, ME. We’ve nursed him back to health after a nasty bout of kennel cough, and some new toys. His favourite is a squeaky hedgehog thing. DON’T try and take it away from him.
Ñom ñom ñom squeak Back soon. Abrazos
All Atticus, all the time.
In honour of getting our little black dog back from his holidays there’s a new item in the menu on the top right. Presenting “Cusify”. Click it to have all the images on the page replaced with random ones of Atticus. And then see if you can tell the difference…
Here are some sample images which start off not being of the dog.
You can also drag that link to your bookmarks and click it when you’re on any page at all. An image search for squirrels f’rexample.
