And a final sunset picture for today, had to catch the train back to Glasgow.
This is the view from Craigendoran station, isn't it amazing?

I am very happy: somebody submitted a Haku program they've written to my Git repo! Yay, I have a real user!

Tonight I made linguine with carrots and tofu skin knots in a very umami-rich sauce.

It's this recipe but with linguine instead of udon:

This is because I was thinking of the novella of the same name by Yoshimoto Banana:

Mike Oldfield & Maggie Reilly "Moonlight shadow" (live, 1984)

And then, thinking of @Eidon and @amaral

Inevitable perhaps?

Pink Floyd "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" (Live At Pompeii, 1972)

(mostly because I like the title)

Making soup while listening to a CD from 1992, on a Discman of that same era.

"Concerts A Deux Violes Esgales
Du Sieur de Sainte Colombe"
(Tome II) by Jordi Savall and Wieland Kuijken

Very beautiful music for two viola da gamba

This is one of the five tracks on that CD:

Now cooking dinner (https://quickandtastycooking.org.uk/recipes/veggie-binagoonang-talong/ but with yellow peppers instead of aubergines) while listening to another CD:

Madredeus "Lisboa"

Motivated by @csepp , I wrote a haiku in haku. I even added a new keyword 俳句 ("haiku").

咲くとは「ギラギラ太陽」を見せるの事です。
暑いとは件で件を見せるの事です。
夏とは「照らされたいよ」の事です。

俳句とは
寺は空、
蓮は咲いてた、
暑い夏
の事です。

The actual haiku is

寺は空
蓮は咲いてた
暑い夏

tera ha kara
hasu ha saiteta
atsui natsu

an empty temple
the lotus was blooming
hot summer

All the rest is needed to make it a valid haku program. When you run it, it prints

ギラギラ太陽
照らされたいよ

giragira taiyou
terasaretai yo

which is more poetry ^_^

As promised I wrote an article about my motivation for creating Haku, my Japanese-language programming language.

Sometimes I feel that being on fedi is a bit like being kept afloat by bubbles.

Every post is a bubble. But being bubbles, they burst quickly. Some bubbles last longer than others, but sooner or later they all disappear.
So you have to keep it up: stop posting and soon there will be no bubbles left and you sink.

Maybe that is OK of course. Maybe it's not sinking but just submerging.

My turn to crumble
My turn to fall
From so very humble
To nothing at all

I once met him
It really surprised me
He put me in a bath tub
Made me squeaky clean
Really clean

~

He said hi, I said hi
I was still clean

~

I thought I had seen everything
He wasn't white and fluffy
He just had side burns
He just had side burns
And a quiff
He said hi
I said hi, I was still clean
I was squeaky clean
I was surprised
Just as you would be

~

My punctuality is well known
When the revolution takes place
I'll be late and I'll be shot as a traitor

When the sun rises

When the sun rises
I will not see
I regret nothing
It was worth it
Going through life without a timepiece
Did pay off

(The Sugarcubes, "Traitor")
