Across the road is a vast contiguous property with massive security. We call it ‘The Cult Compound.’ @withoutaleaf once took an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow’s brother in there and has glimpsed its secret interior. Today this huge load of soil was dropped off. With a bit of internet sleuthing, following up on the truck, getting to the manifest - some hacking was required - I discovered this soil originated in the Transylvania region of Romania and is described as ‘Vintage Funereal Soil - 1,200kg’ What could they want with over a ton of grave soil? And what does it have to do with the four crates that were delivered yesterday afternoon? Maybe just some very exotic gardening?
Skitten looks like it’ll be fine. It has a non-cancerous growth in its throat. The source, no doubt of its lifelong squeaky wheel that begins to sound when it purrs in top gear. We have antibiotics and steroids which will hopefully reduce the inflammation and make it less wheezy. Otherwise it was declared healthy and even fit.
Pretty pleased with the sharpness to the corners of this $120 ttartisans 17mm f1.7 at f5.6. Definitely good enough for landscapes unless you’re a resolution fanatic.
