I can eat more doughnuts than you can run miles. This might be the reason for my own brummy knee right now, although more likely affected by the opposite aching ankle which I turned severely ten years ago (causing a big lump on the side back then and unable to walk) but never sought medical help, even though Australia has real medical care, and now it's come back to haunt me. But at least I don't talk to it . . .

Thanks for your interest in our site. I've been intending to do a project on Marcus Aurelius for a while now (its even advertised on the front page of our site) but haven't had time. I actually might be removing it soon and leaving it for the future. But I've enjoyed reading through some of the various ideas of your site, which has a different aesthetic and writing style to my own crowded, non-minimalistic approach

How's The Fraud? I saw that a satirical publication I subscribe to chose it to lay into this forthnight but I haven't yet read it to find out why!

I’m not sure if you mean they were criticising the book or featuring it as satire. I’ve been reading it and thinking that it is in part a satire of Trumpism. So it has an interesting historical background and contemporary relevance. It also includes Charles Dickens, an author I’ve always enjoyed, and other famous authors as characters. I’m enjoying it!

I guess you mean to criticise it - “lay into” - but I would be interested to know what they focussed on

I have now read it and their chief complaint was that she's using the past merely as a way to explore the modern themes that interest her, rather than showing an interest in the past for what it is/was. Also what you said in your review, i.e. it's a bit scattered. Mind you, this is not exactly scathing. Zadie Smith is generally well-loved. I've got something by her in the house, although I haven't read it yet.

What an interesting idea for a website! I've just started to learn how to make bread this year. I know these aren't found pieces, but I thought I'd post two of my efforts, a baked loaf and bruschetta I made with ingredients from my garden: https://readingproject.neocities.org/Pictures/A-Postings/BreadLoaf.jpg and https://readingproject.neocities.org/Pictures/A-Postings/bruschetta.jpg Pretty basic, but mine!

I've been baking bread for a few years now and I wish my loaves looked half as good!

The emotions and pride I feel are beyond explanation; albiet domesticated this bread image is a wild insight into the immense power of the internet, that we can share our loaves with one another across the world

I love that something as simple as bread can be a barometer for important issues. Sustainability, as you suggest on your website. But its unavailability has also helped to spark riots, even revolutions, and in that sense it can be world changing. I think your website is clever. And thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I've had mixed success with bread. These photos represent some of my best efforts.
