Blowtime

Had a late brunch today and walked it off with a cross-country route up the Beacon.  A tad blow'y up there.

Spent most of the late afternoon/evening assisting J with some artistic construction involving liberal use of a blowtorch.  As this had to be outside I was rather glad it was as mild as it was.

I'm adding the following to my postings, just in case a passing reader isn't aware of the situation and might contribute:

Are you aware that the future of Blip is very much in question?

It is unlikely to survive longer than a few weeks of 2016 unless a 'community buy-out' is successful.  The original 'Blipfoto' failed a year or so ago. The then buyers ('PolaroidBlipfoto') have failed to make it profiable and will close it soon.

Four plucky Blippers are coordinating a Community Buy-out ("BlipFuture") so that we can own it ourselves as a Not-for-Profit venture. They are asking for pledges to buy shares in the new venture.  Treat this as a donation and not something you'll ever get back. If you value the Blip journals, even if it's only one, now is the time to place a figure on that 'value' because every contribution is needed, and it's needed before the 11th of January.
