A quick minute of #entrelac #sock #knitting on 12/6/25. #knitsky

If your mind dislike any thing, obey it.

No hawk photos today because he was startled by this guy.

I’ve been nominated for the FIFA prize for literature, oh wait, I just found out I won. Imaginary prizes are it turns out, very easy to win.

The cover of The Hotel New Hampshire by John Irving (with cat and Christmas tree in the background)

Currently reading my fifth John Irving novel.

Years ago I picked up Until I Find You on a whim and I’ve been hooked on his writing ever since.

I was trying to capture the feeling of all of the leaves on and off of the #Hazelnut #Trees coming at me.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

A kitten on a chair holds another kitten by one leg as they dangle from the chair.

"Say it!"
"No!"
"Say it, Hans."
"My name's not Hans!"
"I WILL drop you."
“Fine, okay, you win!”
“I need to hear you say it.”
"Die Hard is a Christmas movie!"

There is sooo much wrong with the UK's media and politics.

“One doesn’t become a witch to run around being harmful, or to run around being helpful either, a district visitor on a broomstick. It’s to escape all that - to have a life of one’s own, not an existence doled out to by others.”
Born on this day novelist Sylvia Townsend Warner 1893

black fruiting bodies on a mossy trunk

closer in, looks a bit rubbery

and closer, leathery

despite it's name, it's not actually candy or licorice flavored or edible

Cosmopolitan Bulgaria inquinans or "black jelly drops" growing on the trunk of a fallen coast live oak in California.

Just like the mood Vatican library from the year 1475 #Vatican #photography #Library

I’m quite sad that this will be the third World Cup in a row that FIFA have robbed any possibility of enjoyment from. I love football, but there’s just no way I can watch knowing that it’s for sale to any tyrant who wants to sports-wash their regime. FIFA’s corruption is matched only by the hosts.

A note that reads: On Christmas morning ... A pair of hand knit socks contains about 35,000 stitches. That's 35,000 times someone did something while thinking about you. So, if you get hand knit socks this Christmas, remember someone loves you a great deal.

The annual reminder from knitters everywhere.

Death in Venice

Love and Enchantment: Three Stories

Thomas Mann’s books fall out of copyright (UK/EU) next month, which means - new editions and translations!

Here are two from Pushkin Press: Death in Venice, and three stories (Tonio Kröger, Disorder and Early Sorrow, and Mario and the Magician). All translated by Lesley Chamberlain.

Star Wars’ original theatrical cut returns to theaters in 2027 See Han shoot first.

The best thing Disney has done since Aladdin. Maybe the only thing that could get me into a movie theater on opening day ever again.

An Aurora Framed

I planned for this shot to have a nice wee shape, with dark skies across the top. The trouble with Aurora though, they don't listen! So much bigger and more intense than expected!

Thanks Craig! I knew nothing of Punkinhead!

Vintage children's book cover with a green background. Title in big yellow letters: "Punkinhead" and below it in black: "THE SAD LITTLE BEAR". A small orange teddy bear with spiky yellow hair sits on a tree branch with red autumn leaves, looking very sad with large teary eyes and one tear on its cheek while wiping its face with its paw. Soft retro illustration style with a white glow behind the bear.

For decades, Punkinhead was a mascot of the Christmas season for Eaton's.
The "sad little bear" was created by a Winnipeg man who also designed Bugs Bunny, and was featured in albums, books and a lot of merchandise.
This is the story of Punkinhead!

Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

4 crocheted ruffled scarves on a hanger.

I love crocheting scarves as holiday gifts. And really enjoying making ruffled ones this year.
