Poem by Belgian poet Anton van Wilderode

You will not be lonely. The flowers and the herbs /
were only briefly stopped in their bloom / and every spring the vine shoots out / when the young wind turns from the south.

You will not be lonely : the nightingale will whistle.

I am catching up on @perfect-specimen.bsky.social and the Halloween episode was spooky, funny and informative. I've just looked up the vampire snail (Cumia reticulata) which got an honorable mention at the end, and it is bloodcurdling.

Ten points for the costumes as well!

This should be really interesting, and it is free and happening online today.

It was a little unlike what you normally write. 😁 Still, the truth will out.

Not cold enough to warrant battery-heated socks!

Isn't that lovely?

@retractus.bsky.social Do you have any battery-heated socks?

I feel your pain even though I have never seen the advert. 😅

Oh, dear ... 🤣

Look, at the point when your game of dress-up results in a month-long mystery around a robbery at the Louvre, I think it’s fair to say you’ve made your dream come true

"As clothing has become more technical, however, many Scandinavians swear by knee-high socks heated with rechargeable batteries."

I have never heard of this in Norway. Is it just me? Battery-heated socks sounds like a hazard waiting to happen.🧦+🔋= 🔥

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

Common raven

Bird place-name of the day 109: RAMRIDGE (lost place, somewhere in Devon parish of Holcombe Burnell: www.heritagegateway.org.uk/gateway/Resu... ). OE hremn + hrycg. ‘Ravens’ ridge’. #birdsandplace #naturewriting

I mistakenly said today that I had "sovet inn". This translates literally to "slept in", however in Norwegian it means died rather than overslept. I should have said "forsovet". I corrected myself and then jokingly said that I was resurrected. I don't think the joke landed. 🙃

I'm sorry but she made the sculpture 100% better

I saw what you did there ... 😁

I've just made a Christmas cake with all sorts of dried fruits, including cranberries. Now to feed it. Your mince looks great!

To quote the Belgian singer, Jacques Brel:

On n'oublie rien de rien
On n'oublie rien du tout
On n'oublie rien de rien
On s'habitue c'est tout

Sending hugs. ❤️
