There's an interesting land form here, with what look like giant plough furrows crossing whole fields. 3-4 metres (guesstimate) from one to the next, so too wide to be old planting beds. Can follow the contours or run directly up/down hill. They look oddly regular but I can't discern a human purpose. Any idea what might have formed them?
Walked a little over 10 miles today, muddy trails on gentle rolling hills in weather that gradually deteriorated but never got bad enough to ruin it. Villages seem to be spaced every 2-3 miles round here, so there were lots of beautiful yellow stone buildings between the fields of lambs. And yes, the official best rural pub in the land.

But don’t Jews deserve a homeland? Actually, I feel that no human group deserves a “homeland” in the usual sense of the word…. I am not a Zionist, then, because I don’t believe in nations, and Zionism merely sets up one more nation to trouble the world.”

—Asimov, Isaac (1994).

Hey a.w.e users! If you see some nasty shit on this instance or elsewhere, remember you can use the report button! That will send whatever it is to me and I'll chase it up.

If something is going on on another instance, the latest version of Mastodon lets you also choose to /also/ send an anonymous copy of the report directly to that instance.

I do need to know if any of this Wikipedia page is not a prank, though: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwile_flonking
Taking sort of a vacation from our vacation by going to Moreton-in-Marsh for a couple of days of walking, 900-year-old churches, stone pubs and just shameless touristing is shaping up to have been a good move.

Mostly I think this is a good thing. I've been making Seattle home for a long time, and this feels like a milestone in the completion of that process. But it is weird how alienated I now feel from my _own_ accent.
