Excellent as ever. i particularly enjoyed the video embedded in the photo essay about bamboo scaffolding which included a section on temporary bamboo theatres which are amazing!
I like Grayson Perry’s sketchbooks, because they look like mine. Surprising amounts of writing filling in for the bits you can’t quite be bothered to draw. The perfect sketchbooks of Instagram are a bore. In real sketchbooks, there are sparrowhawks with no feet. Tried to reason with the new psychiatrist this week I didn’t have impulsive spending if I wanted all those pens and could afford them, along with telling I’m not bipolar because I’ve never rugby tackled hospital security. Think I failed on both counts.
I'm always interested in daily projects because I did one myself- I made an ink drawing a day for ten years. Dailiness is a great way to work if you can manage it. I wrote this piece to collate some of the daily drawings I'd already shared in Notes: https://rosiewhinray.substack.com/p/notes-on-daily-drawing
I love these thank you
Yup. As with RN, they are great. Sufficient to amaze and delight. Thanks.
When I was in Thailand, I was amazed at the bamboo scaffolders wearing flip-flops and no safety harnesses. Amazing!
I read Thing 6 as well as the link you provided, and have concluded that Tolstoy fell in love with the horse.
Thing 5 really impressed me! Care must be taken over this child's moral compass, or he'll grow up to be a hedge fund manager.
Thank you, Lev, for bringing us these disparate things. I love them all.
I loved the Tolstoy reference. I just finished reading War and Peace and there is a character who spends a lot of time buying horses.
I thought the child and the trolley video would be this one: https://www.tiktok.com/@keepupwithjacob/video/7276099644071890209, so I laughed quite a lot at the answer of the one you posted. Probably more than I should have.
Lovely stuff

Yes that’s marvellous isn’t it? I loved that he can recognise someone’s level of expertise just from looking at the knots.
Loved the toddler - I'd forgotten the uh-oh stage! and just spent far too long killing people with trollies...

Loved the idea of Wikenigma –Apparently April Fools' day's origin is an enigma. Who knew?
