"What you looking at?"

T'was a cracking morning.

Wickhambreux, Kent, St Andrew. Nineteenth century stencilling and early twentieth century Art and Crafts glass.

Repost...

My wife has a bad habit of leaving my wooden spoons on top of the hot stove. I make these things as good as I can... but they aren't fireproof.

Sapele and Horse Chestnut.

Out of season, sweet scented White Forsythia flowers on bare twigs today.

🌱🐕 sweet scented #Abeliophyllum distichum or White Forsythia flowering out of season. My dogs actually stop to smell these.

Title page of Journal of the Proceedings of the Congress held at Philadelphia May 10, 1775. Philadelphia May 10, 1775. Tattered, with an image of three fellas wearing swords in a circle.

I've long been obsessed with government documents. What do they communicate and to whom, how and when and by whom were they printed and circulated? The @jcblibrary.bsky.social has a terrific collection of the many printed journals of Congress, fr 1774. Started a weekly series on IG to discuss. 🤓

A screenshot of an X.com post by @AdelitaForAZ , Adelita Grijalva, stating, "The people of Southern Arizona deserve representation and I'm ready to get to work. Swear me in NOW! @SpeakerJohnson !" followed by a reply from @GavinNewsom , Gavin Newsom, saying, "It's not even November and the GOP are already rigging elections." Below, a news headline from McClatchy by Nikki McCann Ramirez dated September 30, 2025, reads, "DEM SAYS MIKE JOHNSON IS DELAYING HER SWEARING-IN TO PREVENT EPSTEIN VOTE," with a photo of Adelita Grijalva smiling at an event in Tucson, Arizona, on Tuesday, September 23, 2025.

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

It's the final post for National MEDIEVAL Vegetarian Week: Chickpea Broth from Cuoco Napoletano (Italian, C15th).
Soak dried chickpeas. Put them in a pan with some flour, oil, salt, crushed peppercorns, ground cinnamon, and some of the water from the soaked chickpeas. /1

/2. Boil everything until the chickpeas start to break down, add more water if needed. Add rosemary, sage, parsley and a little garlic. You can make this with tinned chickpeas too. It’s simple but the herbs, spices and garlic prevent it from being bland and it tastes much richer than you expect.

/3. I hope you enjoyed the week of medieval vegetarian food as much as I did. I'm away to Germany tomorrow and then Czechia for a historical cookery course in an 18th-century castle (follow jennie.hood.142 on Threads or IG for details of that) but I'll be back with more medieval cookery soon. 🔥

A Mouse eye view #StMaryCannington #Somerset for #TowerTuesday

Perfect Perpy window with slender mullions and bar tracery and unusually, niches populated by effigies of saints. They are more often than not long gone (you know why) #TraceryTuesday

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social needs to come out and say this is an Epstein Shutdown cuz Republicans are stalling because they don't want to swear in Adelita Grijalva because then they will need to release the Epstein Files.

Republicans are protecting their Pedo President

My owner says she works a lot and is tired. She should stay home with me and sleep. It's really good to take a nap during the day. But she's always going somewhere. So what's she complaining about? I'd be tired too if I were always going somewhere during the day.🐈‍⬛

Time goes by fast, it's Monday again.
This week, you will once again have the opportunity to love and pamper your four-legged furry friends.
Have a wonderful new week, everyone.🐕🐈

I don't think anyone would be fooled into thinking I was too physically fit 😅

They could probably smell I had no food on me, so didn't bother to come over to shake me down

Hear hear

A lovely surprise to find a worn, but still active male Common Blue in the wildflower meadow today....

Klein the orange and white cat reclines on the couch. He is propped up but dozing. The photo is taken with forced perspective featuring his little footsies.

One of a range of fungi seen on our amble today. We think this pale red one may be Beechwood sickener (Russula nobilis) among the leaf litter.

One of a range of fungi seen on our amble today. We think this brown one may be a Penny Bun (Boletus edulis)in the woods among the leaf litter.

A range of fungi seen on our walk today included these white, distinctively shaped ones which had conical tops. We believe they may be Rhodocollybia butyracea, commonly known as the Buttery collybia.

A range of fungi seen on our amble today in the woodland. We believe these white spotted, red ones are Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria) which is a fairly recognisable species. They are growing among the leaf litter of the woodland floor.

A range of #fungi seen on our amble today (ID attempts in alt text)...

The gentle rhythm of nature: a reminder that life moves on with or without us. It is understandable to be wrapped up in our worries and anxieties; they are real. Yet, if we fail to pause and return to our breathing and be in the present moment, we will miss our appointment with Life. 🙏
