Here's some rather fetching lichen, growing on a fence in the back yard - a fence that has appreciated (for lichen growing purposes) a bit of local moisture from a leaking irrigation pipe (now fixed). It's here celebrating the arrival, this morning, of the page proofs for my article on "Ruskin and Lichen," coming out soon in a book called Ruskin's Ecologies - watch this space! The production is absolutely beautiful.
A LucyFur update: she's still not a well cat. She ate a decent breakfast, but little after that - possibly as a result of us pumping her full of anti-biotics, and anti-bile pills - although this evening we smeared some appetite stimulant on her inner ear, so we'll see. Much of the time she still looks rather huddled and miserable, which is hard to witness - though she certainly has moments when she perks up. Test results should start to come through tomorrow, and then perhaps we'll soon have a better idea what's causing all her woes.
