In this fun video by Stephen Fry, among other delights, Irish Joycean scholar David Norris tells a story.

A friend met James Joyce in Zurich one evening, and asked him how much he'd accomplished in what the writer declared had been a good day's work.

"I had the words of the sentence yesterday, but I got the order right today."

27/04/26: Our freshly ploughed field in the foreground where potatoes have been set. The rows turned out particularly straight this year. The soil was nice and crumbly (we had sown winter rye beforehand) and easy to plow.
The tilled soil sits alongside a bright green meadow. Mixed woodland of conifers and deciduous trees with fresh spring foliage lines the slopes.
This year, we were able to plow the loose soil even without the fore-cutter, which was no longer attached to the plow. It probably got lost in the field earlier. We couldn't find it. Maybe it'll turn up next year.
On ca. 10 rows we set potatos. The rest (ca. 1/2 of this field) is for various vegetables, field beans and oats.
The manure was very crumbly this year, so the nitrogen content wasn't as high anymore. We'll see if it's enough for the heavy feeders.

#TrumpRetries Trump Family is Relentless in #HardWork
#FWakeTrumpWeak

So many liberal arts majors are #TrumpBlindOpera and can not see reality.

Trump does not GIVE UP. He retries.

Failed election 2020, he wins year 2024. University fails, he goes online with #TruthSocialLessons

Trump isn't the quitter: you all deceive! Denial!!!
