October 24thWhich character would survive the longest if suddenly dropped into our world (…)?
Ketchup
All the indigenous characters I wrote about would survive until they die of old age. They don't depend on our understanding of how the world should work. They know their way, and everybody around them does too. Hitchhiking to the nearest reservation will do the trick, and nobody from any government or any kind of official people will ever notice what happened.

Nonna Maxxing: Why living like an Italian grandma is suddenly cool
Rosella Mercuri expertly rolls out pasta dough, over and over again, until it is so thin you can see through it. “I do everything myself,” says the 68-year-old Italian. “Always have.” She is giving a cooking class called “Making…

I want to record a performance with my conceptualAntique #Accordion Orchestra
Sort of a #Fluxus project of untrained performers playing layers of sounds from basically broken untuned 100 year old instruments
We’ve done it before and it’s a huge pain to transport all the squeezeboxes
But making a recording would preserve it
And then I could give them away

New paper in the wild!
Dolomite is a weird mineral, for many reasons. One of which is that most of it is old. But there is a bit of new dolomite, such as in the Abu Dhabi sabkhas, and we used those to control for the seawater signals dolomite retains. -
The Diggings campground on the Turon River
In this post: The peace and the pain of camping.
This is the blog of Mark Wordsworm, the travelling worm. I’m a 40-year-old bookmark (give or take a few years) and I proudly boast my own Hallmark serial number, 95 HBM 80-1. You’ll probably want to read all about me and my Travelling Companion (the TC).
Today’s travel notes
The TC, bless her cotton socks, has a new favourite place to camp. It’s The Diggings campground in New South Wales, Australia. It’s beautiful and peaceful, so she claims, tucked away between the hills, right on the bank of the Turon River. “Peaceful?” I retort. “Hah, read on!”
“Everything in Australia is trying to kill you.” That’s what they say. Here come the 5 hazards that the TC encountered on this short two-day trip. Plus a bonus hazard!
The book I’m in
Gone for Good by Harlan Coben. A good fast read full of twists and turns. Perfect for bookworms like yours truly, who prefer their hazards presented between the covers of a book.
Travel tips
Get out there and enjoy life. It might be shorter than you think! (I’m voicing the TC here.)
The photos
Ah, camping. This worm doesn’t know why the TC does it!
Hazard 1: Aggressive ants. At the slightest provocation, they’ll barrel out of their nest on the ground, climb up your legs as far as possible, and nip like fire pokers. Also, it’s important to point out that these particular ants had built their nest right across the doorway of the dunny. (Australian terminology: a dunny is a toilet, especially a long-drop like the ones you get at campgrounds, if you’re lucky to get any at all.) So, just when you’re in a hurry, there’s a hazard in your way.
The peace. A smooth green sward of grass, surrounded by tree-covered hills from which birds sound their music:
Kangaroos abound, bounding around, with several little joeys both in and out of the pouch. Crimson Rosellas feed on the grass seeds, adding their rich reds and blues to the scene:
Hazard 2: Being chased by a kangaroo. Those roos may look cute and cuddly. But… The TC stopped for a moment to listen to some birds. Suddenly a peremptory bark sounded from higher up the hill. She looked up to see a big male kangaroo loping towards her. Not fast, but purposefully. With its chest and arms all muscly and strong. She took the wiser course and walked away. The male stopped near his clutch of females and joeys to watch the TC retreat. She does confess that her heart bumped painfully for a while.
Hazard 3: Aggressive birds. Not all birds are as peace-loving as the Crimson Rosellas in the previous photo. Earlier in this trip, before getting to the campground, an Australian Magpie did an uncomfortably close fly-by. Once again, the TC had stopped to watch some birds, though not the magpie. Suddenly, she heard and felt a loud clap just next to her head. Just a warning pass, no contact. The TC looked up to see a magpie fly off, land on a nearby branch, then turn round and ready itself for another go. On this occasion too, the TC took the wiser course, with her umbrella raised above her head in defence.
More peace. The early morning sun glows behind a wall of mist:
Hazard 4: Deep mineshafts. Beware where you tread, in the misty eery light. Deep mine shafts are scattered at random, remaining from the days of gold mining in the area. The shafts within the campground are fenced off, but a dreadful drop lies in wait for the unwary who wander off the beaten path:
Yet more peace. The Turon River flows past the campground, reflecting sky and trees, home to ducks, kingfishers, and other wildlife:
Hazard 5: River and terrain. You need a four-wheel-drive vehicle to get to The Diggings campground. Depending which route you take, there’s one river crossing and a steep, dry-weather-only descent on a dirt track, or at least four river crossings. Beware the river rising. It can be fast-flowing and deep.
And the promised bonus hazard: In the video at the start of this post, the TC mentioned a spider in the dunny. Yes, it was a redback. A good one to avoid!
On this trip, yours truly stayed safely tucked in a book. Hence, no photos of me in this post. My apologies, dear reader, I know you miss my noble physiognomy.
That’s all for today, folks.

Met up with former coworkers for lunch, who are all retired.
I'm glad you have so much more money than I do, than you don't need to work anymore.
But that topic quickly got old.

I genuinely don't know how these people existed more than like 5 years ago.
Generative AI has only been around a few years, there's no way actual are actually reliant on it. If one more 25+ year old describes how they can't function without it, I'll scream. What did you do in school for 12 years?
For the record I did terribly in school and barely paid attention. But I can write an email or summarise a document without any help. These are basic skills we're talking about.

HAPPY FULL MOON IN TAURUS, EVERYONE!
To say this Full Moon is intense is an understatement. Relationships, values, and old negotiations are back under review. Where have you made yourself agreeable to remain desirable? What have you called compromise because admitting you felt coerced would require a difficult decision? Libra’s shadow knows how to arrange the room so no one sees exactly who is paying for the peace.Today’s Full Moon brings you to a final choice point. When the ground you trusted to hold you starts to hurt you, and keeping everything in place means there is less and less room for you, intense reality checks can be seen in the light of day with physical, clear evidence that may be deeply uncomfortable and emotional. What you really want and what you know to be true can no longer pass through the narrow opening you have allowed it. The tension can no longer be sustained. Today the dam breaks. It’s time to revisit the terms. Say what you need without making someone prove their devotion by guessing. Eat, ground yourself, and let your body settle before making a permanent decision under emotional pressure. Ask what would actually keep you safe, and what merely keeps someone else within reach.
Together we rise

One Valley, Two Photographs, Many More Trees
I set out to recreate an old black-and-white view of the Esk valley at Castleton, which I found on Facebook, but fell disappointingly short. I think the original was taken from the old Methodist Chapel, now a private home. Trees block the view from Station Bank, and houses rule out the rest of the village, so I ended up 500 metres west, looking north-north-east instead of north-west.
