WIP, aloof, introverted, cat bothering human. Sometimes by sheer luck, I might say something insightful; otherwise usual nonsense warnings apply. Currently awaiting upon the cat distribution system for my next calling.

When the robots take over, do you think they'll keep humans as pets. I'd like to curl up on the sofa to sleep at anytime and allow a robot to feed me 3 times a day.

Detectives at the Fairford scene
Russell (grey beard, glasses) and Hugh (dark hair, young) from Detectorists, both wearing headphones. They’re peering at a spot just below the camera. The subtext/backstory is that they’ve been asked by the mayor to find his chains of office, which he has lost. It turns out that the place they were lost is a well-known local dogging spot. Hence the slight look of disgust and trepidation on their faces.

We've passed the autumn equinox so I reckon that means it's YORKSHIRE PARKIN SEASON. Here's my recipe from all the way back in 2011 😲 britishfoodhistory.com/2011/11/04/y...

Yorkshire Parkin
God, I love Yorkshire parkin. If you are not familiar with it, it’s a strongly-spiced sticky gingerbread-cum-cake flavoured with treacle and dark brown sugar that is traditionally eaten …

Crystalline light filters through the boughs of a fiery maple tree in Kyoto, Japan. The slowly moving waters of the Arashiayama river reflect the light from above. The brush strokes fit together like a mosaic of stained glass, breathing color and motion into the scene.

FALL FLOATING rob gonsalves en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Gon... #canada #painting #artist #art #CanadianHistory
"Fall Floating" is a magical realism optical illusion painting by Canadian artist Rob Gonsalves that depicts rowboats floating on a leaf-covered lake which simultaneously transitions into the sky.
Overview of "Fall Floating"
• Artist: Rob Gonsalves (1959–2017), a prominent Canadian painter known for magic realism and perspective-bending works.
• The Illusion: The artwork shows small rowboats navigating a calm body of water, while the surface of the water—filled with autumn leaves—seamlessly mirrors or transitions into an open sky, making the boats appear as though they are floating both on water and through the air.
• Style: Like his other famous works (such as The Phenomenon of Floating), Gonsalves uses precise architectural and natural alignments to blur the boundaries between distinct physical realities
