I love pistachios so much. I bought these as a treat and this is how I learned I probably have a mild tree nut allergy and ended up in the Emergency Department. I’m home now and I’m okay but geeeeesh…

Watching Better Call Saul and the fact that the two ceiling lights at the back do not sit symmetrically with the wooden wall unit there is winding me UP. I can't unsee it.

This is a fantastic example of a 'rod' being caught on a camera doorbell. "Rods" are flying insects recorded over several cycles of wing beating. As the insect propels forward, it's wing and body movements are captured over several frames, creating an illusion of a single long, ridge-like body,

I was given this plate by my grandparents who went on a tour of the denby pottery back in the 90s. My mother wisely told child-me we’d keep it safe in the box so it didn’t get broken. I am now 39 and just took it out of the box for the first time in decades. My emotions.

Bought this piece of glass for 80p from a discount place. It was hidden away behind a lot more brightly coloured 90s style pieces. It fits perfectly in this little corner 🥹 I love it when a trinket finds its way to you like this. I went in for a bottle of chilled water!
