Did you know? At Helm’s Deep in The Two Towers, Elven archers salute Legolas, son of the Elven King Thranduil a scene not in the book, added in the film to highlight his skills and status! 🧝‍♂️

Nothing refreshes my memory of what I need at the grocery store like coming home from the grocery store.

Oh no! My printer is otter paper!

It's all true... but the style of this meme is breaking my brain a bit.

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. 🫶

"I grew up in Järvenpää, Finland. I still live there and like the town because it is small, everything is close by and it has a cultural buzz. I was 5-years-old when I said I'd like to be an artist. One of my relatives told me that I wanted to be a fairytale illustrator when I was six. "Nowadays I'm mostly a traditional artist, I slowly moved away from the digital art some years ago. My preferred mediums currently are watercolours, coloured pencils and sometimes gouache. I like to build a picture slowly, creating texture with every stroke and being careful..."

Mela's quote in the alt text 👇

Thou shalt remove all the pedophiles from thy government. Seriously humans, it’s such a low bar to clear.

And then there're typos. They happen all the time. Often my fingers are faster than my brain or the computer. That's so annoying. 🙄

I know several people with dyslexia, and I think it's a huge progress that at least there's a diagnosis now instead of simple prejudices. usually I have a natural feeling for the correct spelling, but of course the differences between UK and US spelling are challenging.😂

Funny enough, I'm terrible at remembering faces, but I'm very good at distinguishing identical twins, once I get to them. It's like I feel the personality of people. I suppose part of the problems stems from needing glasses from early on.

Thank you for writing it. It might take me a while to read it, as I'm in the middle of some other books and also won't have much opportunity to read next week. I'm up to my monthly eye treatment. But I couldn't resist and read the Prologue already, which I found brilliant and lots of fun.

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.

Spring in the Weald of Kent by the Kentish artist Rowland Hilder I love everything about it. The blossom on the trees, the long gone Elm trees, the horse and cart slowly moving through a hedgerow lined lane, the Oasts

Why not

Look what arrived today. I'm really looking forward to reading this book by @diegodlomax.bsky.social ☺️

I could use some more space. I'm terrible at remembering people's names, and even worse at remembering their faces. Therefore it gets really embarrassing when I met people I'm supposed to know.😁
