My best fungal find of the autumn so far: Devil's Fingers, Clathrus archeri. Also known as the Octopus Stinkhorn. Smells of rotten meat. The dog found it first. Raddington, West Somerset. #fungi #mycology

The gilt bronze tomb effigy of Margaret Beaufort shows the countess in her old age, wearing a widow's dress with a hood and long mantle. At her feet lies a yale, a mythical antelope‑like creature, whose horns have been lost in the centuries since her death. #30DaysofGraves #Missing

A high-angle shot captures a gilded bronze tomb effigy of a Lady Margaret Beaufort lying in repose, her hands joined in prayer. Her head, covered in a veil, rests on a pair of pillows, and her long, flowing gown is rendered with deep, dramatic folds. At her feet, a small, sculpted yale lies curled. The effigy is enclosed by a dark, ornate wrought-iron railing with pointed, spear-like finials.

A close-up shot of a golden yale sculpture with worn, dark patches, lying at the foot of a tomb effigy. The yale is in sharp focus, facing forward with its ears extended. A hollow cylindrical opening sits atop its head between its ears. In the soft-focused background, the draped robes and hands of a reclining figure are visible, alongside dark metal railings.

These words from @richardfadams.bsky.social mean so much. I felt great responsibility writing my chapter on Thatcher's 1980s and the #MinersStrike, both in doing fair, evidence-based #history, and in doing justice to my own South Yorks. mining family. Adcock's poem is witty, sharp and compassionate.

If you are in Oslo today and have the opportunity to get out for a few hours, do enjoy the weekend in nature. It is seldom that autumn days in Norway are this beautiful and the autumn leaves won't be there for long. This probably applies to many places. Have a good day wherever you are!

Morning Womble. I’m reading The School for Scandal and Other Plays by Sheridan. Delighted by this bit in The Critic, where a vain writer dismisses critics, then asks what they said about him, and has to pretend not to be upset.
