Day 91 - 6:41pm, 1 April 2019
April Fool's Day is a bit of a disappointment this year. Either I was easier pleased in my younger days or I am just getting too old and curmudgeonly to believe anything I read or see that is out of the ordinary. I don't across a single story this morning that isn't obviously a hoax.
We seem to have lost the art of subtlety. Nature does it so much better. The Japanese playwright Zeami recognises it with his line "subtle shadows of bamboo on bamboo" and while the Water of Leith cannot yet out-bamboo the bamboo for shades of green, I do see subtle changes, usually minuscule, from one day to the next as I take my daily snap.
