A friend who has been picking through emails sent to Epstein by various celebs and "clients" pointed out how he used love bombing and silent treatment, a common scamming technique. It seemed to have been really successful with some individuals, their emails beg for attention and invites. #Epstein

It was Candlemas, the very ebb of the day, & in his ramshackle cottage at the edge of the sea-cliffs, a mile or so from Old Fox's lane, the Stoat was about to have his tea. While the kettle began to slowly rattle over the fire, he took a new candle from the candle-box, ground it into a pewter candlestick & with a rather shaky paw, lit it with a taper from the stove. He then put it carefully on the sill of the bow-window with the buckled glass and the light flared in the dusk, strong as a ship's lantern, bright as the gold in the twilit, kirning waves below.

Can't fill that easily with ointment or extract it so dice box it is. I have a similar wooden box for dominoes.

They have 3.9g more protein than normal flatbread. I think you can treat them as normal and assume Tesco are chasing the pennies of the January healthy eating crowd.

Up to 86g of carb per flatbread does not make this an option for a high protein diet!

I always look out for December buffs when I pass a big mahonia in flower. They are often out in the London area.

I have seen a few mid summer and mid winter solstice at Stonehenge. The waiting and anticipation of the rising of the sun makes a moment that happens every day into a spectacle of pure awe as our amazing star appears with the turning of the Earth. You almost feel the gift of life itself.

It turns out that person is me and you won the challenge.
What on earth was that? I thought I had heard every bad Xmas song about Donkeys.

I loved the creatures that she created. Judgement on Janus was my favourite along with Catseye. I must have been very fortunate because my local library had lots of her novels.

This book has been so soothing. I have probably learned more about the foreign policies that shape the world just in the first three chapters than I have in at least the last 15 years of news media. 🙃 It's helped clarify a lot of the absolutely batshit nonsense of the current timeline.

Just been to see Wicked for Good. Somehow managed too avoid any spoilers for the Musical, the books, the soundtrack or anything online for the last 22 years.
Big shoutout to Wicked fans for being so good about revealing the major plot points! #Wicked

Many many best wishes.

I only knew a couple of these titles. Thank you for your excellent essay.

I rewatched The Force Awakens two nights ago and all I could think of was how excited I was when I first saw Finn and imagined his story arc. Just can't watch the other two films.

Nooo please. Fossil ideas like this tend to become part of my dreams.

Lovely

Thanks. It would make a great jigsaw!

This is a delightful photo. Any credits?

Extraordinary levels of ignorance. I mean you must actually have to work at being this dumb about the area of government that you represent.
