@privateeyenews.bsky.social OK this isn't weird now... the Grim Brandreth strikes again, as predicted a month ago ☠️
Private eye article from early September - part of a running joke of  Gyles Brandreth being the Grim Reaper, as several previous people became deceased shortly after meeting him. This time spookily predicting the death of Jeffrey Archer which was announced today, RIP.

Great story! This was in a children's poetry book which I used to read to my son... he was about 3 and never understood why Mummy would burst out laughing at this one!
Poem: Meg Merrilies by John Keats..."and with her fingers old and brown/ she plaited mats of rushes/ and gave them to the cottagers/she met among the bushes 🙂

Looking on the brighter side of life in #Edinburgh, up Blackford Hill, lovely views to castle and Arthur's seat 😀 Cheering news from Hungary today.
View from top of Blackford Hill, Edinburgh, sunny spring day.  Looking north towards the city and beyond to Fife over the Firth of Forth; Edinburgh castle on left of picture and Arthur's Seat, the hill on the right of the picture. Yellow flowering gorse bushes in the foreground.

Asked by my boy to do the painting on his models for his new hobby...Starting to quite enjoy painting these bloodthirsty wee dudes 🙃 #Warhammer40k
Warhammer models of larger "psychophage" (about 4 inch tall) and 2 smaller "tyrannids" (1.5 inch tall). Lots of tiny teeth to paint inside the mouth of the big one!

Yes it's well worth a visit. We brought a wee friend home as a memento 🙂
Furry tardigrade toy, about 15cm long, very cute.

Fellow tardigrade lovers, if you ever visit Amsterdam, highly recommend the excellent Artis microbiology museum, could have stayed watching the tardigrades down the microscope for hours!

Beautiful pictures! Colour and composition is amazing (Hokusai like but I've no idea if it is Mount Fuji in the background of yours) 🗻 thanks for sharing, J x
