  1. A family outing, to Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire. (Our daughter has developed a fascination with country houses, which we are delighted to nourish.)

    Dogs are not allowed in the house, so my Whippet Castorp and I stayed outside whilst the family toured the inside. The buildings are a stylistic hodge podge: a 16th century family seat built on top of an earlier Augustinian nunnery, with extra layers from the following centuries. Yet the house exudes unity and simplicity, a quiet unintimidating grandeur. Sitting by its walls with my dog, I felt peace. Buildings can do that.

    The house belonged to the Talbot family, and it was here that Henry Fox Talbot developed the photographic paper negative process in the early 1800s. Talbot's book The Pencil of Nature contains several photographs of the place. Being in the shade of the objects of these first-ever photographs added another dimension to this somewhat spiritual experience.

    "Mamdani projected strength. His body language was neither embarrassed nor defensive. He did not moderate any of his positions."

  3. Walked both dogs and now rereading this classic in the backyard. Plans to wander downtown with friends later. Gonna hit 90° today 😳

  4. Another glorious golf outing today and I broke 100 - I scored 99 but that still counts. There were at least 6 spectacularly horrible wedge shots that I'd like to take over. But it was a fantastic day, my golf buddies were great company who all scored worse than me and I spent zero effort on jobs around the house. Living the dream...

  6. CW: crafting toots for screen readers: continued

    @theStoicGurn Hi! I caught this late, but most things like slang will be fine. The main things to avoid in my opinion as a long time screen reader are:
    * Running words together without caps, including in hashtags. #AGoodDay rather than #agoodday
    * Lots of emogis or scattering them in between every word.
