An Explosion Of Thistles

I just love the shape and texture of these thistle seed heads - all exploding into a fluffy mass.

I spent a frustrating few hours trying to resolve an issue on my Mac that happened after the recent upgrade to the Monterey version. I have a little utility script that I run to download and back up my Blip entries. This was written (by another blipper, whose name escapes me) around the time of the Polaroid takeover - and it utilises Python, which has been removed in the latest MacOS. I have now managed a workaround!!

There were a few different ‘backup’ utilities around at the time including ‘bliprip’ which I also use!
