The book on the table is MANI, by Patrick Leigh Fermor, whom , I hope, will soon publish his new book about his crossing on foot of Europe just before the war.I have enormously enjoyed the wit and erudition of A TIME FOR GIFTS and THROUGH WOODS AND WATER

Last year I tried to dye paper with these persimmons, my friend Frederique D.had given me but it was a failure.
I shall try again with fermented juice when I can find some.
Meanwhile I enjoy , and I suppose you will too, discovering these old japanese textiles on this blog

Copenhagen
Reçu ce matin un nouveau mail d’Avaaz.En voici un extrait:”
…L’Histoire est en train de se faire à Copenhague, mais aujourd’hui ce ne sont pas les responsables politiques qui en sont les acteurs. Ce sont les millions d’entre nous qui, partout dans le monde, sont directement engagés, heure après heure et comme jamais auparavant, dans le combat pour la planète. La pression porte ses fruits, continuons à la faire monter.

It is still time to sign.Il est encore temps de signer.
This is what President Obama should say in Copenhagen:
“…Most of us have agreed on the ultimate goal: to prevent more than two degrees centigrade of global warming. But it should not be left to the poorer nations to remind the rich world of what its own scientists say. Even the most ambitious cuts the wealthy nations have proposed cannot meet our goal. They are likely instead to deliver three or four degrees of warming, threatening many of the world’s people.
So I have come here to propose two policies which could meet the challenge our scientists have identified. This is the first. I hereby commit the United States to cutting greenhouse gases by 50% against our 1990 levels by 2020. I commit to this cut regardless of what other nations might do, but I urge you to compete with me to exceed it. We should be striving to outbid each other, not to undercut each other.
I recognise however that even this measure cannot guarantee that we stay within the two degree limit. Eventual global temperatures will be set by the accumulation of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The best scientific estimate is that we can afford to burn a maximum of 60% of the carbon stored in the world’s current reserves of fossil fuels(1). A safer proportion would be 40%.
When I arrive home I will commission a task force to identify which of the fossil fuel reserves of the United States will be left in the ground. I will commission a second task force to identify the conservation and renewable energy projects needed to cover the gap…”
