Outdoor cinema in Komiža

Settling down to watch Mama Mia 2, filmed on Vis, in the open air cinema in Komiža, Vis. Fireworks scene in the film made all the more impressive by the shooting star overhead.

I thought I'd try and sneak a few books onto the kitchen shelves when no one was looking. Didn't last long.

Brov went one up with a paperback knife rack. Jealous.

Irony: actually fixing bit rot while supported by Coupland's book

Irony: actually fixing bit rot while supported by Coupland's book.

I busted my back, so have a temporary raised desk that's a slab of door on books. I'm using it to fix crossoak that had a spasam of bit rot. I just noticed which books I'm resting on.

Fortunatley, it's better now.
