A Little History of Economics, by Niall Kishtainy - ⭐⭐

Neutral in its delivery to the good and ills of its subject and bland as a book. It was not the introduction I was looking for.

Well, it has been A week. A few weeks actually. Had some time off today at least. Been able to catch up on life, and even get a bit creative. Sat out in my shed and get a little woodworking done. Its felt good to use my hands for something physically creative.

What have you created today? #artsky

A top half of face selfie of a white male. You cannot see his mouth or chin, just from his nose and up. He is wearing round glasses and a cap of some kind. 

Behind him, set against a clouded sky, with hints of sun, stands the Eiffel Tower. It is hazy due to the focus of the selfie, and it’s lit up as the sun sets.

In Draw Steel it gives advice of ending combat once it’s clear the heroes can’t lose, I.e not mopping up the last Goblin all the time.

So you could end it as a Director by say β€˜Cut’ or β€˜And Scene’.

Or should we be saying…

β€˜And Sheath.’…?

A picture of a work bench (Saw Horse) with a selection of hand tools in it. A fresh haft made hatchet rest in the centre on a length of oak, which the handle is made of. To its left sits a sanding block and a Shinto rasp. To its right on the bench sits a red spoke shave and two draw knives.

Holding the finished hatchet. The handle is handle flows to sit well in the hand, with the neck deep enough to sit flush with the face of the axe. The end of the handle ends in a knob.

Finished this axe handle today. From a block of oak with nothing but hand tools. A fun project to develop my skills.

Need to decide whether to just varnish/wax it, or go for some fun details and engraving.

Bit of academia today. Working on my dissertation. Managed to focus down the title, β€˜Lessons from the One Hundred Years War.’ Into something more manageable.

Hope everyone else’s creative living is going well.

A overall recommendation from me on Eat the Reich. I will run it again for my wife, and hopefully for friends besides.

Have any of you tried it? If so, what did you think?
