Ephemeral digest

Just another Bristol blog

  • Home
  • AboutEphemeral -> short-lived, lasting but a day. These posts are a collection of fleeting thoughts about my life in Bristol and my travels, adventures, experiences and general hobbies. The name is a pleasing reminder of the Greek word for newspaper, efimerida, although what I write isn’t always news. Also, please check out the Ephemeral Food map of the restaurants I have visited. I am involved in the blogging competition TH!NK3 and posts on development will be posted here as well as at the site http://development.thinkaboutit.eu. The following posts are more reflective pieces and perhaps add a little more information about me: June When Can You Manicure The Lawn? Eating: yes; Blogging: Sporadically; Critiquing: ?. You can write to me at joanna@ephemeraldigest.com.

    Knitting Politics: a method — TBC —

    The picture of C.D.N.-N.D.G. Mayor Sue Montgomery, the borough mayor of Montreal knitting her way through a council meeting has now gone viral. She knits in red when men speak and in green when women speak. Her knitting is tapered and starts narrow but gets quite wide. I’ve read since her initial tweet that the […]

    Secrecy, the Western Harbour, transport, and billions in development

    The Local Plan is currently open to the public for consultation: At the Central Library the previous week, a young man, looking all suited and polished and very approachable, stood in front of a Local Plan display board. I went over to take a look. I told him I was interested in seeing the part […]

    The cancelled Bristol arena is costing the city £12m

    The cancelled Bristol arena that is not being built is costing the city £12m. The 2019/20 Budget shows that money has been found from reserves to cover the costs. Ordinarily, the costs would have been funded from the capital stream of the budget; the part that deals with capital costs for things such as buildings […]

    Marvin Rees blames NHS for air pollution deaths in response to doctor’s petition

    Marvin Rees blames NHS for air pollution deaths in response to doctor’s petition

    Originally posted on PsychoPolitico:
    Anyone who follows the trials and tribulations of Bristol’s local politics is already familiar with the Mayor’s hostility towards questioning, and inability to tolerate any form of criticism. As a case in point, Marvin was so prickled by a petition about air pollution at Full Council this week that he managed…

    Bristol City Councillor attendance and absence

    On the 24th of October 2018, I queried councillor attendance at meetings they were expected to attend. The data is at the following link and I have queried from the beginning of 2015 until October 2018. Only currently active councillors have any data attached to them. Note that reasons for not being in attendance can […]

    New book by Darren Allen, 33 Myths of the System

    The cover looks as if the ground and nature have opened up and slowly produced a book out of the leaves and petals and stamen and poetry. If Walt Whitman had drawn Leaves of Grass, I imagine it would look like Darren Allen’s cover to the 33 Myths of the System. Maybe without the pause […]

    Let’s have city sanctuaries instead of city farms

    City farms were introduced in the 1980s so that children could see where their food came from, a friend was recently telling me as she munched on her bacon sandwich. As an Australian living in the UK, I like this view of the world as ‘other’ as something I can observe and not have it […]
