The quiet time between Christmas and New Year seems particularly appropriate for setting one’s home in order. There’s the purely practical need to clean up the festive mess, but also a more… spiritual, dare I say? …sense that one should at least attempt to begin a new year on a good footing. There’s also the free time created by the gaps in competing engagements.
In the case of Green Path, such a clean-up takes the form of some extra site maintenance.
- Two long posts about human prehistory, Where did we come from? and People in Australia before Europeans arrived, have been tidied up by incorporating supplementary material from their Comments into the body of each post.
- I have added one new Category, Overseas travel. That’s a little ironic, since we haven’t ventured overseas since before the 2019 floods, but it’s useful because it gathers together 15 older posts.
- Green Path is a major part of a larger website. The other blog on it, Words & Images (mainly arts and social issues), has received similar attention.
- The Book review index, which straddles both blogs, has been brought up to date. (I don’t publish reviews of books unless I think they are worth reading, so you might find something there if Santa didn’t bring you enough books.)
