Senses working overtime #467

1 Autumn at Maple Grove this week




Same tree at Maple Grove, different week - really! Check it out.


2 Listening: Field Music (their debut album)




If you wanted one song to try: If Only The Moon Were Up


3 Reading: Bleak House



 

I know, it feels like Groundhog Day in this edition, but now at page 603 (out of 720), I'm on the home straight. Plus, it's good!


4 Watching: 3 Body Problem




It was okay, started well and kept us watching but it could have run half the length and still been as effective.


5 Listening: WTWMC True Colours playlist




We're up to shades of red - watch how it plays out in real time this week (G 'Yee Har' K's choice).


Overtime: 

Writer and scholar C.S. Lewis on what why small choices matter:

"Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible."
