Finished Orbital by Samantha Harvey 📚

Like the novelization of a David Attenborough film on the planet. Gorgeous meditation on the fragility of the planet, and of people. Lovely. Audio was great, but I can see myself picking up the text and reading again much closer in the future.

At Vancouver International Airport. Just dropped off my wife and older kid who are doing a Mommy-Daughter trip to Japan. Meanwhile I will be single-dadding it here in Canada. Good luck to us all! 🍀

Literally watched the whole 108 rings. I had seen clips of this before, and have taken many people to see the bell, but the whole ceremony is amazing. Picked up on a lot of details, but I bet there is so much more going on behind the scenes. I need a documentary!

Just finished The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie 📚

This is the 10th book in The First Law world, and the finale of The Age of Madness. (Also the 6th book of Joe’s I read this year!)

Phew! Epic! Done! So good!

This week has been a dark one, so with the sun out this morning I took to the wet trails. Despite the seemingly endless cloudy days, the moss still thrives. It is good to remember this. Here’s to a weekend of ease to you all #photography #mosstodon #lichensubscribe
