Oh you’re a tad too late. I dreamt last night that my house was falling down around me. I think the dream will take precedence.

I'm learning important information as I deal with a mouse infestation and hope you'll share this far and wide. Most pest control services basically never solve the problem. If you sign a contract, they keep putting more bait outside which kills not just mice but MANY animals.

#31daysofgraves Day 3 - 'glass' was tricky I thought but happened to pay a visit to St Peter's in Liverpool today. Many of the graves are topped with this crumbled glass! This is the grave of late Liverpool manager Bob Paisley and his wife Jessie.

A dark gray marble graveside filled with green crushed gkass chips. A little flowering pink plant in a terracotra pot is placed on it.

The headstone text is in gold, and reads:

IN LOVING MEMORY OF
ROBERT (BOB) PAISLEY O.B.E.
1919 – 1996
DEAR HUSBAND OF JESSIE
A DEVOTED DAD & CARING GRANDAD
"He remained an ordinary man
amid extraordinary achievements"
JESSIE PAISLEY
1915 – 2012
A VERY SPECIAL LADY
Both forever missed by all the family

There is also a picture of a football.

🪦 #31DaysOfGraves — Day 3: Glass Glass-covered immortelles on the grave of World War I Soldier, Private George Heiniger, at Toowong Cemetery in 1915. 📍 Toowong Cemetery, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia 🦘 - fotc.au 🔍 Details in Alt text...

George Heiniger's comrades funded the erection of a marble headpiece above his grave at the Toowong Cemetery which was engraved with a miniature saddle and crossed rifles. The grave was surrounded by a concrete kerbing. After paying for the tombstone the balance of the money raised was used to purchase two artificial wreaths which were placed on the grave.

Private George Heiniger of the Unallotted Light Horse died on 21 February 1915 at the Enoggera Military Training Camp in Brisbane at the age of 18. The night before his death he complained of a headache and giddiness. The next morning he was very ill and his comrades took him on a stretcher to the field hospital at the camp. Once there he lapsed into unconsciousness and died at 9.15 am that day.

A court of enquiry found that he had died of heat stroke, although his comrades stated that he had not been in the sun and had not engaged in violent exercise or work preceding his illness.

@limefinishes.bsky.social 🧵1/2 Had a look through my 📷 archive last night. You can see in cemeteries & graves, there are eras of fashion/trends. One good example would be immortelles. Do you have a rough timeframe when these black graves would have been en vogue? It might help my inexpert eyes to…

🎃1st of October🎃 To celebrate I’m making giclee prints of this illustration ‘A Cat and a Crow’. Unsigned Giclee Print: £50 +P&P Signed Giclee Print: £70 +P&P Illustration size: A4 Email Nick at: nicktankardart@gmail.com

An illustration of a dark old parlour room with a cozy fire burning in the fireplace. A cat strolls across an ornate rug in front of the fire while a crow sits on the arm of a large wingback chair. The fire illuminates the rug and chair but the rest of the room is in darkness. Black pen and printmaking ink on off white paper. Spooky and atmospheric.

🎃 Brand new work to celebrate it being October! 🎃 ‘Halloween in the Suburbs’. Black pen and acrylic inks on off white paper. Unsigned Giclee Prints: £50 +P&P Signed Giclee Prints: £70 +P&P Illustration size: A4 Email Nick at: nicktankardart@gmail.com 🎃👻

An illustration of a small old wooden house with a little porch. Its windows are illuminated by the light within. The house sits on a street in suburban America, it is Halloween. The neighbourhood is active with spooky goings on, ghosts in white sheets on the street and in the windows of the house, mummies amble about, glowing pumpkins on the sidewalk and porch. A black cat strolls in front of the house, a black crow sits on top of the little house. On the porch a little witch with her black dress, broom and crooked hat knocks on the door, trick or treating? Going to a party? Or an unwanted guest?
The illustration is done in black crosshatch pen on white paper, the pumpkins are orange with yellow glowing eyes in stark contrast to the black & white. Whimsical and celebratory…Halloween in the Suburbs!

One of the largest collections of Pictish carved stones in Scotland is in the old schoolhouse in Meigle in Perthshire. The tallest is 2.5m high and might depict Daniel and the lions: or the execution of Queen Guinevere. More pics and info: www.undiscoveredscot... #Scotland #Meigle #Perthshire

The old schoolhouse in Meigle in Perthshire. The image shows the interior of a large, white-painted room that extends up to a brown wooden roof with roof beams and skylights. There are a dozen or so grey carved stones on display, some on stone plinths and others on green bases above the green floor. In the centre of the room is a large carved standing stone covered in pictures of people and animals.

Bench in Wigtown, Scotland's Book Town. I strongly believe this - that a book remains part of an ongoing creative process once it has come into the hands of its reader.

Bench in Wigtown, black painted iron work with "A writer only begins a book - a reader finishes it" , "Reading is a conversation - all books talk, but a good book listens as well", "A book is a gift you can open again and again" and "There is no friend as loysl ad a book", all written on in white paint.
