One of the best. Three Days of the Condor is one of my favourite films, and for a period of time after my undergrad, while working at a bookstore, I regularly dressed like Redford's character in the film.

The news has been quite grim lately; it was so nice to interview this lovely couple in the pub after church. Two young churchwardens who love the Book of Common Prayer. Also encouraging amid worries among churchwardens about who will take on the baton. churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2025/…

Finished spiritual exercises (Mattins), quick change in Vestry, and then off for the other exercises.

Wife, hound, and I went out for a little walk and picnic yesterday along our favourite stretch of the Dunk River. Even got a few minutes of fly fishing in while they both watched on.

Grouse season opens in a few weeks and I am very much hoping that I get a chance to use my Barbour game pocket for its intended use before it becomes so cold that I have to wear winter coats while in the woods.

Dog in All Souls' Chapel.

It's only just 8°, so I could break out the cord trousers. Also, found these lovely Loake Oxfords at a local thrift store for $7!

Unfortunately the same order that I brought to my ensemble today didn't extend to my desk at the church.

Our street, from my walk from Rectory to church this morning.

The vibe:

My phone had to go in for warranty repair a little over a week ago. I set it to repair mode with a numeric code to lock down my personal data....and now I can't remember the code. I am up to waiting 140,000 seconds before my next attempt.

Well that's a more pleasant timeline

Our street, looking north after Mattins.

New pens at the local school will give the free range children much more space on the schoolyard.

My first serious attempt at linocut, a medium and artform I've long loved and desired to try. This will be our Christmas card front for this year. It is my take - with variations - on a piece by my favorite artist.

Memorial Park, on my walk to the office this morning.
