Carve the sun into a diagram that reads to you

Actually, despite the amount of vacuuming and dusting it contained, I had a rather nice day. I walked into Cambridge to pick up my copies of Sian Northey and Ness Owen's Afonydd (2025) and Vin Packer's The Girl on the Best Seller List (1960) and a present for my niece, based on Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris' The Lost Words (2017). Thanks to a sale, I was able to present spatch with a DVD of Get Crazy (1983) and my mother gave me Poker Faces (1926), otherwise known as the recently restored silent feature starring Edward Everett Horton which has intrigued me for the last month. She thinks I should learn to read Welsh. I had an oat scone in between errands. selkie approved my introduction to Calbee's seaweed-and-salt potato chips. The mail brought the disaster-themed special volume of The Massachusetts Historical Review which contains the chapter on the 1755 Cape Ann earthquake from Donald Fleming's never-finished history of science edited by Dean Grodzins. I cleaned a lot. Mostly it's been weeks since I walked anywhere and was not dead flat afterward, wiped out from doing one thing in a day. The alternative was nice.

If you like eating seaweed sheets, you will likely enjoy them; there's finely ground nori all over them and they have a sort of umami quality to me. I'm actually pondering how they'd go as a topper for tuna casserole, which no one in my family eats but me...
(Spouse and Child went to Japan last November and came back with a taste for the import store. We have found Calbee a reliable purveyor of Fishy- and Sea-Flavored Things Americans Will Still Eat. They're the company that brought snap-pea puffs from Japan to the US in the '70s, apparently, thus fueling my kid's toddlerhood.)

I *doooo* like eating seaweed sheets!

(LOL about tuna casserole!)

How long were spouse and kid in Japan? In November, they probably caught the fall foliage, if they went to Kyoto.
