Looking at an old post of mine from this day in 2007 and wondering, does anyone, anywhere, host a blog carnival on any topic these days? Time for a revival?
Huge credit to @theMaggieAyre for a wonderful edition of BBC Soul Music on The Parting Glass. Moving stories and beautifully mixed. A real treat.

What if you don’t realise which genre you’re actually in and you’ve been doing everything wrong all this time?
Nicely put!
When the recipe is behind a particularly obnoxious paywall, all you can do with the inspiration is wing it and hope for the best
When the recipe is behind a particularly obnoxious paywall, all you can do with the inspiration is wing it and hope for the best. Still, what could possible go wrong? Too much fruit is not a mistake.
pesosWelcome to the Entropocene (Interconnected)
I fully confess that from my position of inherent privilege, I had never considered the negative connotations of Anthropocene, despite often using "not ALL men" myself. So, can I train myself to use Entropocene instead? Maybe
Funny. I read Peter's post today and was so taken with it that I immediately started the process myself, before reading this post and seeing that Ton had inspired Peter.
Like the year, what goes around, comes around.
No: I don't believe it. The first HWC I could possibly attend (online) and I have a prior engagement that I cannot change (like the guy who could afford to go into space).
Getting a teeny bit peeved with apps that require OSX 10.14 and later. Not all of us can afford (or want) to upgrade our machines that often.
I can’t remember exactly when we planted this grapevine, but this is the first year it has borne grapes, and the are exquisite.

Thanks to my very smart friend @ruthraymond, I give you the lime Tom Collins. She didn’t know how to fix my barely set lime jelly, but she came up with a brilliant way to use it. Cheers. 🍸

This tiny sprout on the orchid restored with the advice of @orchidwhisperer19 is giving me joy. I don’t think it is a flower spike, more likely a new shoot.
pesosArgh! @help I accidentally downloaded the latest micro.blog for OSX but cannot use it because I am stuck on 10.13 and I can't find the old version in the Trash. Is there any way to download a previous version compatible with 10.13?

Peter Rukavina is working on changing his life by doing eight critical things each day. I reckon that's too many. If I get three done, I count that as a win. Maybe I need to trim my idea what constitutes a thing.
Wouldn't it be nice if Twitter et al. somehow indicated that a link shared by some well-meaning influencer was behind a paywall. It would save me a lot of clicks.
