Folk who've been following me for a long time will remember that last autumn I was posting pictures of doing the joinery for a new workshop. And then I went mad, and got ill, and for most of this year there's been no progress.
But my friend Lucy has been here for a week, and between the two of us the frame is now erected. Now I need to sort the timber stack (which hasn't been improving while I've been ill), erect a roof, and build some walls. But the bit I couldn't …

Lucy standing in front of the north end truss, which has just been erected and its tenons forced into their mortices with a Spanish windlass. The truss is held upright by temporary diagonal braces. Between the pillars, various carpentry tools lie on a very chaotic timber stack.
The footing of one pillar of the south end truss on an old tree stump. The reason the building is so crooked is because it's foundations are the stumps of four trees that were blown down in Storm Arwen.
General view of the newly erected frame from its north east corner. The chaotic pile of sawn timber runs through it from north to south. Beyond, the trees on the edges of the wood are still standing, but most of the centre was blown flat in the storm, and new young trees are only slowly beginning to grow through the remaining wreckage.
Looking down on the new frame from my bedroom window. One of the new top rails still needs to be cut to length, and there's at least one brace still missing (I'll add more if I think they're needed. This is enormous progress, and a weatherproof workshop will be a great improvement to my quality of life.

Lake Mead (Hoover Dam) hat (yet again) den niedrigsten Wasserstand der seit der Füllung in 1937 erreicht. Das letzte mal wurde der "normale" Füllstand im Jahr 2000 erreicht. Seit dem waren bis auf ein Jahr die Abflüsse immer höher als die Zuflüsse.

Starting 2007, it is below "Drought level" with a brief rise above in 2011.

Visual-to-auditory sensory substitution may be the supplemental "glue" needed to make brain implants for restoring vision shine: textures and shading, undistorted visual feedback, fill-in for failing electrodes, etc artificialvision.com/neuralink

AI-generated video clip. Developers of brain implants for restoring vision are unlikely to admit it, but The vOICe visual-to-auditory sensory substitution may be the supplemental "glue" needed to make brain implants for restoring vision shine: adding textures and shading to an otherwise edges-only (to avoid seizures) brain implant view, undistorted visual feedback (also during vision rehab training), filling-in with veridical (not interpolated) visual information for failing electrodes, etc.

Can you imagine the luck?
My friend David in Aberdeenshire managed to take a photo capturing one of the swallows flying past his window!

Feeling this one hard.
[via my old friend, Martin_FFF]

Two people holding hands, looking out the window of a high-rise building at a dark cityscape. Overlaid text: "The world turning to shit" , on one person's back "Me", on the other person's back "Star Trek". I think it's a still from a film, but I'm not sure which one.
