Week in review: 19th - 25th June

Walkies with Max.
Worked on upgrading the JSON schema version for the Beneficial Ownership Data Standard.
Co-chaired our co-op OGM. We made some Decisions About The Future (tm).
Finally got some rain.
Swam in the sea.
The now traditional Solstice dawn rose petal harvest.
Made much rose water and rose syrup.
Made polenta cake at the Community Kitchen and Rhubarb and rose jelly tart and cardamom rose shortbread at home.
Arranged some wildflowers.
Finished A Psalm for the Wild-Built. Started Use of Weapons.
Glorious sunrises.
R came to visit and we foraged oyster mushrooms.

🗁Added 12 photos to album Stuff I grow.

Arranged wildflowers I picked at dawn on the solstice, on the way back from rose petal harvesting.

Also, mystery (self-seeded) bean growing with one of my tomatoes.

An incredible, gentle solstice. I walked, alone, to the beach at West Wemyss before dawn, and harvested dewy rose petals for a couple of hours.

Got first purple french bean harvest, and raspberries and strawberries. Planted turnips, carrots, mange tout and choy sum in the garden.
Made rhubarb crumblejack.
Got up at 4 for solstice sunrise, but it was cloudy. Tried again the next day, then cleaned the beach towards Wemyss, and picked wild rose petals to make rosewater and added it to everything, including fancy rose jelly custard desserts.
Had a mega migraine and lots of sniffles (but negative covid tests).
Continued early mornings.
Thought about Quest for Brothers spinoff novella.. though I should finish the novel first, shouldn't I.
Worked on Co-op governance and employment stuff; coworked in Edinburgh.
Started and finished Circe. Started, finally, Entangled Life.
Got a jolly rug from Furniture Plus and filled my hallway with it.
Remember the painting of Seafield Tower I saw in January at the market and been thinking about every since but never again seen the shop open? Walked into town for the Saturday market, and the shop was open, the painting was still there, and he'd knocked £15 off it :D
Went to Errol Sunday Market, which is enormous and full of treasure.
Watched the new Doctor Strange, and caught up on Stranger Things.
