Soon after my jelly find, @wildlifetoursed.bsky.social calls over to show off her find. An amazingly Macropodia - a species of long legged spider crab, complete with lovely array of camouflaging algae. #crabs 2/3

Time is weird. In Japan, it's morning. In Germany, it's night. In America, it's 1930s.

What kind of fool buys onion bhajis without checking if we’ve any mango chutney first? *sheepish glance*

‘96% of healthcare professionals said the model helps to reduce children’s anxiety, and 46% reported a lesser need to use sedation after the children played with the set.‘ ‘Lego doesn’t sell the sets and instead has donated more than 10,000 of the kits to hospitals around the world.’

I often mentally get Ada and Linda confused.

Me, in a different era. 1985ish. Clearly I shouldn’t have got my blind as a bat future father in law to take the picture. Nice cod though.

I’m old enough to remember getting these in packets of Weetabix.

One of the greatest things about being an adult in this day and age is that even at 50 years old the internet is still teaching me about the existence of animals that I've never heard of before.

I managed to add some special effects to my t-shirt ffs 🙄 #dribbler

#FindsFriday This bronze helmet was found in a field near Falaise in northern France in the 1820s It dates to the late Bronze Age, around 1100-900BC, and was part of a cache of 10 helmets! What could have prompted someone to bury all these? 👀 #archaeology #ancientbluesky #museums

A few more.

Today’s photo dump.

I met a cat in a pub this evening so that’s that ticked off my list ✅

Photo dump from this trip to Newark Fair.

Had a very angry chap in a big van tailgating and flashing his headlights at me for 15 minutes on the way to work this morning. What gets me is that his company name is plastered all over his van. I won’t report it this time but I’m never buying anything from Ambulance.

Huiii... 🤣

Any ideas, @zaichishka.bsky.social or @mortabasi.bsky.social please?

FB memories have served these work in progress snapshots from 2021, 2020 & 2018 for 6th October. York Minster, 37 Tanner Row, York & Glister Meteor being restored. The pencils are 0.3mm but different makes... #ArchitecturalIllustration #pencil #drawing

On this lovely weekend day, with my spine having given out (off to emergency care, I think - bleh), I want to be like this netsuke cat from Japan, without a care in the world. So here he is for #caturday. ca. 1800-1850. #V&A 📸 me

That Circles of Doom Pilates move 🥵

Sunday afternoon with my best pal ♥️

Now **THIS**, ladies and gentlemen, is authoritarian fascism from proscribed terror organisations. <chef’s kiss> My money says the PSNI know MANY identities of this lot. But apparently the easy gig is in GB, arresting pensioners. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/...

Forty-six years today 👴🏻

Capitalism must be stopped

Exactly this.

Bloody wind blew six corner tiles off my roof and onto the car that I’ve just got back from the repair shop fffs. At least the car roof and five panels hit.

The Manchester terror attack is horrendous and tragic beyond belief. Netanyahu blaming the UK PM in an attempt to deflect blame for his war crimes is wild though. Cynical and tawdry. He cares for himself and himself only.

On National Poetry Day, the greatest poem I have ever read

Not good. She was the only thing keeping the chimpanzees in check

Exactly the same as in the UK and Ireland.

You hardly ever see clip-on earrings like my mum had in the 70s nowadays. #showerthoughts

I’m sharing this photo I caught of Ullswater Lake yesterday morning. The English Lake District can conjure up some atmospheric moments. #photography #kleineKunstklasse #LakeDistrict

I love you most because you’re wild.

A bag of Revels, no longer having four of the original five flavours, is a travesty these days. It's basically the Sugababes or Trigger's Yardbrush of the confectionery world. Bring back the orange, coffee, coconut and peanut ones, you shits.

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop. Please could you give my posts above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment?...🌿

Saw these on my way into work earlier.

whenever a business fails it’s weird how we seem to blame “working from home” and “the economy” way more than “they were always way more expensive than everywhere else” or “it was a terrible place to work” or “the owner was a dickhead”
