  1. Dear Friends of Green Programmers, :ablobdancer:

    I think I am #Green. Politically I support the #Gaia agenda. In terms of programming, I am nothing but #perpetually green. :abloblurk: Much like being #born yesterday, every #tomorrow. :ablobsunglasses:

    Yesterday we #rambled to our nearest National #Trust run facility. The richest #charity in the #UK. Our local one which is free to enter, has a #garden #nursery.

    Walked home five shade plants:

    1. Three specialty mints, Swiss Mint, ‘Cream and Berry’ mint, plus one other. Forget name but is a #vigorous creepy creeper mint …
    2. A #stevia plant to grow under our #indoor #grow lights
    3. Purple #sage
      also for indoors for now
      :ablobbounce:
      … back along the fastest flowing #chalk #stream in the #UK. A former industrial #river, #feeding ‘Old Father’ #Thames.
      Sadly saw no fish news or frogs but happy to see one of the working #Merton #water wheels and #wishing #well. :blobangel:

  2. December 10, 1968 — Thomas #Merton#monk, #poet, #priest, #activist — died in Thailand while attending a conference of #Christian and #Buddhist monks. Merton lived at The Abbey of Our Lady of #Gethsemani near Bardstown, #Kentucky.

    Imagine cold winter nights out in that knobby landscape and the sight of the milky way poured across a cobalt sky.

    Requiescat in pace.
