I ticked another Studio Ghibli movie off my list last night, watching Howls Moving Castle. It isn’t my favourite Studio Ghibli movie so far, but as ever, I loved the animation and the detail in the images. 🍿

Day 12: Shiny, suggested by @odd
This shiny store reminded me of a fairground ride. It is situated in Lisbon airport and sells sardines.
🔥 Sat around the fire pit last night with the grandkids, roasting marshmallows, while their parents partied at a wedding next door. A game of night time tag. Shower, movie and then bed. The evening went well.

With Day Light Savings Time starting across the northern hemisphere over the next two weeks, Hawaii, which does not observe the clock change, will become an hour further behind those Northern Hemisphere countries, and US states, that do. At the same time it will creep an hour closer to those countries in the Southern Hemisphere as they move into autumn.

Day 11: Gimcrack, suggested by @Josh
I had not heard of a gimcrack before today’s challenge. After looking up the word, I settled on this little farmyard in a corner of our kitchen.
I’m reconsidering my digital password storage options. About a year ago I moved away from 1Password, a piece of software that I have used since it first appeared. Did I need it? I’m now thinking to move back. I just know it. The re-setting up feels a little daunting.
☀️ The warmth of the sun feels just so good today.

Day 10: Ritual, suggested by @drewbelf
A daily ritual of meditation.
🌊 Returning home last night it was still and dark, and yet I could hear the waves crashing against the cliffs over a mile away.

The mystery of jigsaw puzzles. I have a group of pieces that I stare at for days, convinced that I still have to find one or two pieces that will bring them all together. Then one day I sit down and, click, click, click, they all come together. No other pieces needed. 🧩🤷🏼♂️

Day 8: Walk, suggested by @lwdupon
A photo of a projected slide from my time in India in 1989. I’m unsure where I took this, but I think that it was in Bihar State.
