Across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a songwriter again..."

I love @boojummex but I can't live with the guilt around the plastic containers for the Burrito Bowls. How many thousands are binned by Boojum lovers each week? @boojummex surely there is a sustainable option, even if a bit more expensive? I'd happily pay more!
They've done it again. Thanks to @IndiaRakusen and @elliesans for Child on @BBCSounds. Loved 28ish Days Later and this is a follow up of sorts. Dunno which part of me is loving this most - the scientist, the human, the mother, the audiophile... 🎧❤️🔬👩🔬

Thanks to John from Tools for Solidarity for sharpening my gardening gear @repaircafebfast this morning. And for the lesson in how to do it myself. Full of joy at new skills and new life in these old tools.

Every tribute talks of his kindness, his decency, his mischief. A life well lived. Lovely to see this clip from the Archive. RIP Walter.
