A Book House
I found these on Etsy. This would be a simple woodworking project for someone. It’s a clever idea, even a place for your glasses.

Knowledge and Madness
“The love of knowledge is a kind of madness” – C.S. Lewis
Documenting Before Demolition
An editorial about exploring and documenting history. This comes from a forgotten (no posts since 2020) site of a Manitoba, Canada, explorer. I couldn’t find a name or anything like social media to help find who they are. Some of you are aware that Canada has never been considered one of the best countries in … Read more
Photographing the Vanishing Quote
I noticed this quote on an abandoned Blogger site today. Photographers deal in things which are continually vanishing and when they have vanished there is no contrivance on Earth which can make them come back again. – Henri Cartier-Bresson It applies to almost everything photographed. From a smiling child to the sun itself. Nothing stays … Read more
Where Would You Love to Write?
This was part of a quiz about what type of author you would be/ are. I loved this question. Which answer would you pick? Although the train station was high on my list and its my bedroom where I usually do end up writing – a coffee shop on a grey and rainy day was … Read more

Like Marketing Campaigns Instead of News Reports
Jade Walker posted a quote on Facebook: “It’s not the news that keeps upsetting you. It’s what’s happening that keeps upsetting you.” – Dan Slott I disagree. Its the way the news is being reported, with lies and propaganda (misinformation, or whatever that trendy word is these days), that’s upsetting me. When did all the … Read more
Second Hand Books are Wild
Do you remember BookCrossing? It’s been years since I last logged in. Funny that I was thinking of the book which I had last read the last time I was at the site. I couldn’t remember the author or the title, but there it was, first on my profile page. “Second hand books are wild … Read more
