bill of exchange, rajasthan, C19th.
ALT A 19 century ‘hundi’ or ‘bill of exchange’ written in ‘banker’s Hindi.’ Bills of exchange are contracts issued as a consequence of forward market making transactions: a second bill relies on a first bill to settle to settle ahead; a third, a second and so on.

Quotations Update 🔔: CG takes SJ’s offer of raspberries in September 2025 for raspberries in 2026.
SJ’s exchanged his excess raspberries this year so he can enjoy them next year instead. By contrast, CG wants raspberries now but is planning to have a surplus next year.

‘positive/negative number’ - ie bringing quantity into ‘positive/negative’ (and its extension i, j, k,…) - is a way to ‘induce direction’ into quantity for some ‘engineering/science’ purpose… but quantity doesn’t move in such positivist ways… something to think about.

we understand ‘inch’ - but how do we get ‘one third of an inch’...? an ‘inch’ is three barley grains side-by-side lengthways, so ‘one third …’ is merely one barley grain.
there's more 'dimensionality' to 'inch' than 'centimetre' could understand...

Allotments, horticulture, community gardens, all have the capacity to heal. We must remember that as we all move forwards.

Allotments are a statutory right for all to access. They are a part of the fight for land for food growing that goes back centuries. If allotments aren’t accessible are they even allotments?
This is a far bigger question but it’s one we must address. 6/
