A note on how to browse this blog and (perhaps) avoid confusion

Welcome!
As written in the very first post, when I started this project I wasn't very familiar with the process of setting up a blog. As I built it some bits were successful and ended up looking the way I expected, others... less!
Please refer to the Blog Archive in the menu bar on the right to better explore this blog. Posts often have descriptive titles, namely: - "On the field" entries refer to my random explorations of Oxfordshire -- and beyond. - "FolkRec" posts feature my (rigorously non-professional) folk recordings. - "Flowchart" entries display attempts to use the concept of flowcharts to describe aspects of life -- decisions, indecisions and resolutions. - "ScienceCom" posts focus on the themes of science communication and education. Unclassified entries are labelled in this way for a reason: they are totally random in content.
Please do leave comments if you fancy.
Thank you!

Flowchart #1 - How I read a book

I thought I would start this post with an enthusiastic "What an amazing spring day today!", but then I realised that it is actually past midnight, so that "today" is now "yesterday" - what an amazing Friday! :) I spent one hour in the University Parks and it just felt like spring - I do love this season.
While I was coming back from the parks I chanced to witness quite an interesting - as much as spontaneous - choreography on Walton Street: a man, probably a dad, was carrying two very young girls, maybe his daughters, respectively on his back and in his arms. In turn, the girls were contributing to this titanic effort by holding each other's hands - impressive!
Also, earlier this week I went to the Jericho Café and wrote the first of what I hope will become a somehow regular entry of this blog - a variation on the theme of... flowcharts. The first attempt is thus shown below: apologies for the poor quality of the image, this will be easily improved as soon as I find a way to scan the page properly!




One of the reasons why I like the Jericho Café is that they seem to choose music that I fancy: indeed, yesterday I was extremely lucky and listened to a very good selection of songs by both John Lennon and the Beatles - greatest tune, their version of "Twist and Shout".
Enough for today - more music (and drawings with better quality) coming soon!
