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 ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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.

Normally I just eat sheets of seaweed straight, but it turns out that the delivery mechanism of potato chips is entirely acceptable, especially with the dipped-in-bonito-flakes umami of it all. (Tuna extract powder, according to the back of the packet.)
What was the present based on The Lost Words?
A card game where it looks as though you have to match the illustrated plants and animals to the poems written for them, like answering riddles. I don't know how high-stakes it is, but it looked lovely.

And the potato chips are sounding more and more delicious the more I hear.
