The Greenhouse Library and the hallway outside wrapped up like a Christmas present. If all goes to plan, we’ll get a new and non-leaky roof in January. And if it doesn’t to go according to plan … October?

The Christmas book pile is ambitious, but very very promising. And I have new reading/computer glasses that I need to test out properly, anything else would not take my workplace health and safety seriously.

Finally this absolute beauty from @skeuomorphpress.org made it across the pond. The texture of the paper, the quality of the print, the colors, the weight, the smell - not to mention the content by @ursulakleguin.com - it’s a real inspiration.

Starting the weekend with Ævestaden on vinyl and a very foresty beer brewed with birch, sweet woodruff, and stinging nettle from Rygr, a brewery just a few train stops south of here. I need to look at two texts tonight, but that can wait. I also need this.

Surprisingly many people (and a dog!) showed up for the rephotography walk yesterday. Very happy to see how interested and enthusiastic people were. Most of them wanted to push on after the cold and windy stop at the tower - and we were rewarded with beautiful weather on the last bit of the walk.

We will also launch the field guide to historical rephotography and a set of cards that can be used to get started.

An evening listening to vinyl records. Had found a used copy of Neil Young’s Sleeps With Angels from 1994 and it sounds fabulous. A magical album.

Today: not a day of rest, sadly, but I took the time to go downtown for some errands and for some light writing with coffee in front of the fireplace at Kokko.

Half-day of home office work after campus meetings in the morning, tweaking text and writing project summaries for a major grant proposal. All while listening to vinyl records such as this beauty - Low’s Things We Lost in the Fire. The weekend is almost here.
