Crows were pissed at this owl. Pardon the shaky video, I rushed to fetch the camera and was shooting at 900mm, handheld.
Crows swooping on an owl duckin…

Took a hike up to Cunswick Fell today for our 1-per-day allotted outdoor exercise time. Shed loads more photos of the gorgeous views here https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2020/3/28/pandemic-peregrinations-cunswick-fell-cumbria-spring 👍

Did my first shopping today with the suggestions of the "PSA Safe Grocery Shopping" video in mind. Used my tiny hall as an airlock.

1. Return from the supermarket, enter the flat, put knapsack (with stuff) down.
2. Disinfect the hands with ethanol, then remove coat and shoes.
3. Go to the kitchen, get plastic bags and the garbage bag for the recycables.
4. Get the cans out of the knapsack, wipe them with ethanol moistered toilet paper.
5. Get the veggies & fruits, open their plastic wrap, tilt the veggies into the plastic bags taken from the kitchen, put the wrap into the garbage bag for recycables.
6. Toss the sweet bread from its wrap into a bag from the kitchen, put its wrap into the garbage bag for recyclables.
7. Leave the garbage bag in the hall, put knapsack at the apartment door, wash hands for 20 seconds in the bathroom.
8. Bring the plastic bags with veggies, fruits to the balcony (to stay there for three days), put the cans into the cupboard.

The main difference to the video is that in the video the presentation doesn't take into account the recycling and avoidance of trash. That is, it's hygienically sound but not environmentally.

Things get a bit more complex and in the sequencing a bit more complicated when one aims to combine both tasks. Interesting exercise.

#Bandcamp Shares Results Of Fee-Cut Day

"[Bandcamp] reports that fans bought nearly 800,000 items, be that physical music and merchandise or digital downloads. This amounted to total sales of $4.3 million.

This is a significant contrast to an average Friday, Bandcamp says, with around 47,000 items typically being sold on that day."

Yesterday’s breakfast toot was n00b level porridge. Today we go next level. Button and shiitake mushrooms, spring onions, pine nuts and garlic. Fry them up gently...

"What day is it?" asked Pooh.

"How the fuck am I supposed to know after being at home for three goddamn weeks?" squeaked Piglet.

"My favorite day," said Pooh.

If you like the interesting time between the late 1800s and emergence of jazz, when popular music was getting looser and fun but still had a certain composed formality about it, you must listen to Aaron Jonah Lewis' "Mozart of the Banjo: The Joe Morley Project", on which he performs 12 banjo tunes composed by Joe Morley, who was an absolute giant of the 5-string banjo in his day.

Before it was adopted by folk/country/bluegrass music, "classic" fingerstyle banjo was tremendously popular, and a totally different beast.

I'm going to post a long thread on how to cope better if you're stuck indoors at the moment. I've been housebound by disability for a long while now, and sporadically housebound due to depression and agoraphobia before that. These are things that have improved how I deal with that. This is not gonna make houseboundness painless for you but it might help you cope. Disabled comrades are welcome to share their own advice to this thread.

Video of the walk my mum took yesterday, in the Rhondda Valley, South Wales :)

She usually leads a walking group once a week but obviously they've cancelled, so she's enjoying longer walks by herself (the group don't go that far or as fast as she likes XD)

Liverpool libraries are still open. On reduced opening. Number of available PCs has been cut down to enforce spacing. Liverpool provides Libby app and Overdrive for devices not compatible with Libby. Also Pressreader for newspapers and magazines. Access if for Liverpool residents only, check with your local authority to see if they provide similar resources.

If you do have access to those resources but don't know how to get in (some of them are a little user-hostile) please hit me up. I'm always happy to help and have nothing else to do.

Despite there being some opening, the have suspended all fines.

I have a 505 page biography of Franz Fanon in my pre-virus haul so I think I'll be fine for now.

Japanese Noise master Merzbow meditating on his aesthetics:

"Noise was an idea about capitalism: the overload of capitalism, that kind of consumer overload. For me, it’s a consumer sound. . . It’s very difficult to escape from our system. We’re already involved in the system. So if I can put something into the system, I want to change its direction to one kind of way, a private way."

Morning! Reminder that horror film soundtracks used to be weird.
