Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Iris Murdoch: so perfect for public transport. There was no knowing. But in any case there was an elementary justice in the first comers having the seats. The old lady would be perfectly alright in the corridor. The corridor was full of old ladies anyway, and no one else seemed bothered by this, least of all the old ladies themselves!

Tuesday, February 14, 2012. Ethical i-phone protests hit apple stores. Protesters Deliver Petition for Ethical iPhone to NYC Apple Store. Does anyone else wonder if such an action begs the question of why these people don't just buy a second-hand 'phone and reduce the demand that creates the awful working conditions that they are protesting against?

Friday, May 05, 2006. In which I arrive late for almost everything. I arrived in Glasgow a few days after the close of the Glasgow International. Which is a festival of contemporary art. There are still things to see, although everyone tells me that "I've come at a bit of a bad time". What is on view is the Becks' Futures. Exhibition, and the Ross Sinclaire show at the Centre for Contemporary Art. Posted by amcqu : 3:14 am 1 comments. Cherry tree in bloom. One That Got Away. I have said the same things t...

today: Bitter orange

http://amcqu.blogspot.com/2010/10/bitter-orange.html

Sunday, October 10, 2010. Our local grocer sometimes stocks fruit from their friends' or neighbors' trees. These looked like a cross between an orange and a lemon, the boys behind the counter said they were awful, I thought they might be Seville oranges. What I would call a Seville or bitter or marmalade orange, the flowers are used for making blossom water and the fruit for preserves. One fruit is set aside for the seeds, I'll see whether I can grow a new tree. Posted by amcqu : 11:34 am.

Saturday, January 13, 2007. I have rented a new work place. It's only been a few days, and it takes a while to settle and get used to working elsewhere. At least I won't be distracted by the garden. Temperatures have been regularly over 30 degrees celsius. During the last month, and my beginning attempt at a garden has suffered a great deal. Mostly sunburn. My thinking leads me to consider that the soil needs work so it can retain more moisture. That and trying to combat. For green-house grown tomatoes.

Saturday, February 11, 2012. Why is it that our contemporary version of aetheism is so mean, so parsimonious, so righteous? I should listen to this guy again . Terry Eagleton 'The God Debate'.

Tuesday, July 29, 2008. The crackle of spring. This morning, in the backyard. One of the cats rolling on the concrete, dust-bathing, enjoying the morning sun. When I reach out and stroke his fur, he crackles with a subtle static charge. For some reason, I take this as a herald of the coming spring. Posted by amcqu : 10:13 am 0 comments.

Sunday, January 22, 2006. The first of the Netherlands. Posted by amcqu : 7:25 pm 0 comments. The last of Australia. Not the last of Australia, really, but a detail of a photo I asked a friend to take at the airport on my departure for Rotterdam the 14th of January. The shoulders in the foreground are mine and my boyfriend's. I kept thinking of this painting, Ford Maddox Brown's 'the last of england'. It kind of sums up how glum I was feeling at the prospect of leaving my love behind.

Friday, April 28, 2006. Everywhere and nowhere [time and time again]. Mira's show featured a work from 1998 titled herd of unending blue. And a work made for the exhibition titled ruin.
