On the road again 🏍

Finished reading: From Far Formosa by George Leslie MacKay 📚 ★★★★½ / Book List

This year is 150 years since MacKay moved to Taiwan, where he lived as a missionary for over 20 years. It’s very eloquently written, and full of interesting information. Keeping a copy.

Dragon boats (龍舟) 🛶

Just got out of The Batman. Really enjoyed it. “Thumb drive” cracked me up. 🎥

Huge incoming coffee stash, thanks to @ghm and Horsham Coffee Roaster. Not sure where to start…

Just watched Drive My Car at the cinema. Thoroughly recommended. 🎥🍿

Reading more recently about the personal library on IndieWeb, and I’ve started mine off by taking decent photographs of some of my books. I’m not sure yet what form the library will take, but I’m enjoying thinking about it. 📚

Wall made of coral “bricks”

Basalt rock waterfall (石瀑)

John Gruber on Daring Fireball, about iMessage:

I’d pay an extra $5/month to Apple for iCloud if it included a middle-finger Tapback. Just that one.

Happy Birthday, dad. We miss you.

What a great card. And even better that the photo was sent to me by a Yorkshireman. 😆

閒雲野鶴

In the house we visited today I was mesmerised for ages by the contents of three large bookcases. Then I was told I could borrow whatever I wanted. With difficulty I limited myself to just 10 books, which I thought very well-behaved indeed. 📚
