This evening's thought to ponder from Maggies Farm. How it all began.

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

On a more positive note, I sold 3 calendars over the weekend. Next weekend I'll be selling at 2 markets. Yay

Good news: the cranberry orange coffee cake turned out. Bad news: I still have a cup of cranberry sauce left. Now I have to either bake more stuff or figure out another use.

This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.

In the shade on St. John, this white bloom caught just enough light to stand out from the leaves — one of those soft details worth stopping for.

If you enjoy seeing the world from new angles, I’d be glad to have you along.

A few weeks ago, someone posted here that he'd had enough of 2025 and was hoping 2026 would be a better year. At the time, I thought 2025 had been challenging, but I came out okay. Then came last week. Always we ready for a challenge, folks.
