Ok, on to something a little more pleasant. I didn’t realize until last night when I was preparing this post that I cut my fingertip off on Friday the 13th! Maybe I should hang a lucky rabbit’s foot or horseshoe over my kitchen sink. I’m truly amazed by how fast it’s healing. At this point about the only time I have to keep a small bandage on it is when I’m typing (the bandage cushions it a little and prevents any pain at all).Īnd guess what. This was the first time I’d seen the clean wound without all the blood and I’ll admit to being shocked by how much of my finger was gone (I never did find the piece I cut off).Īnd this is what it looked like yesterday afternoon, 16 days after the injury occurred. I had removed the “boxing glove bandage” the doctor had put on it to replace it with a custom version of my own that I hoped would make typing a little easier so I took the opportunity to snap a few photos with my phone.
This is what the injury looked like 2 1/2 days after the incident. If you’re uncomfortable with photos like this please scroll no further! I’ll leave extra space below so you can avoid them if you choose to. Today I decided to show you the progress of the healing so far with before and after photos. My doctor said it would “take a very long time to heal” so I reported the incident here because I was afraid the injury would make typing so awkward and painful that I’d have to change the style of my blog posts to much shorter ones. Many readers will remember that on the 13th of this month in one of the dumbest moves of my entire life I cut off the end of the index finger on my left hand with a huge butcher knife. Normally any more news on my finger injury isn’t something I’d cover on my blog but the healing process has been so unexpectedly fast on such a significant injury and because I reported it here when it originally happened I decided to share evidence of why I’m so surprised and pleased with its rapid progress. They may be an evil data-scraping corporation but it is a handy tool.We’ll get to the critter in a minute. However, surely if it’s so closely related to the Romance languages, then there must be some sense of how you would speak it. I had heard that there is no correct way to pronounce Latin, as there are no living speakers.
However, having learnt basic Welsh with a ‘natural language’ method, I find that it really helps me remembery by saying the words out loud. Using the example of Red Campion (Silene dioica), they’re pre-eminent in Plants For A Future, Wikipedia and the Plant Atlas of British & Irish Flora. When I first started out on my forest garden journey, I quickly settled in to using the Latin names, as they are so much precise, universal and descriptive. Her use of the Database of Insects and their Food and Wikimedia Commons to weave such insightful and inspirational threads is delightful. She’s written a paper about the beauty and utility of Natural Latin, and has said: Linden Hawthorne is a hero of mine, she regularly posts Twitter threads detailing the inverterbrates and their relationship with specific native plants. Amelanchier - “ch” or ”k” sound? The binomial naming of plants is quite beautiful & useful but I have always wondered, how do you pronounce Latin? Thursday
