Day 362 2015: Light and shade...

Day 362: ...truth and joy, or 'Truth' and 'Joy'

It is that languishing period between Christmas and New Year, where one's time is taken up by annual rituals of listening to cricket, catching up on reading that isn't academic-related, catching up on reading that is academic-related to develop new research thoughts, follow a yacht race, mow the lawn (when the rain allows), and go to the movies. Lots of movies. 

This year there is a bit of an interesting phenomenon, a number of movies with just one word in the title: Truth, Joy, Youth and Carol. A friend and I are planning to catch all four by new years eve. Today was Truth and Joy. 

But before that was a bit of light and shade...

Red and green in light and shade

Seeking shade

Taking in the light

In the garden. Another place I quite like to be. 

And the currawong returned, I think they might be here for a while. 

Seeking shade


And in the contest between the four films, so far, Truth is winning over Joy, which tends to sit with my work thus far, hitherto and here-on-in.
