Here's something a little different.

It wasn't always gorgeous weather during our stay around the East Neuk of Fife. When it was more gloomy, we headed to Dundee to check the city out.

In particular, the V&A Dundee Museum of Design proved a totally fascinating subject https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/13/the-va-design-museum-dundee-scotland-winter

The building features a series of layered concrete panels that create a dramatic, angular façade, resembling the hull of a ship. In the foreground, a smooth, reflective surface of water mirrors the structure, enhancing its visual impact. The ground is wet, from recent rain, adding a subdued atmosphere under a cloudy sky. There are a few figures in the scene, providing a sense of scale against the impressive backdrop of the museum. The overall composition highlights both the contemporary design of the building and its harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment.

The Fife Coastal Path from Anstruther to Pittenweem then St. Monans.

Powerful gusts still battered us on the coast, but that just heightened the mood and drama. Gorgeous sandstone formations and beautiful coastal fishing villages... lovely.

And there's more photos from this day! I implore you, wayfinder, seek ye here https://www.iancylkowski.com/blog/2025/3/6/pittenweem-st-monans-east-neuk-of-fife-scotland-winter 👍

A non-techy friend is interested in setting up social media accounts in the Fediverse and has asked me about good startup guides. She is especially interested in sharing photographs and videos of her historical dance troupe.

Recommendations for startup guides and or instances that would suit her would be greatly appreciated.

At the bottom of these images is an adult crib. Consumption (tuberculosis) was a common illness in the 18th and 19th centuries, resulting in 25% of all deaths. There was no treatment. It could take months for patients to die or recover (50%), during which time they remained an active part of the social life of the family in such cribs. This also gave them the opportunity to transmit the disease.
