I've never understood the white rabbits thing, in fact it makes me grind my teeth a little. No idea why.

Remember, light the lamp, not the rat 👍🏼

Q:"do you get coldsores?" A:"shhhhh we don't talk about it they are listening"

When you're sick of answering the same medical questionnaires and are superstitious

I was maybe asking too much. Trying to have two cakes and eat a bit of each.

Or literally anything else. I'm still angry.

Roll on *when it gets easy*

It was a complete and utter failure 😞

I have two Christmas parties tonight. Yes, two. I'm not really in the mood so am forcing myself off the sofa to get ready. This could go either way tbh ... Will report back 🫡

My photo shows the left side profile of a head of a cave lion made of mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago (Aurignacian culture). The ivory would originally have been white in colour but is now a light creamy brown with a surface sheen, and darker patches caused by time spent buried in the ground. Carved details include mouth, nose, eyes, and ears. There is cross hatching behind the ears to indicate the mane. It measures 2.95 cm in length x 2.11 cm height.

Something wonderful for the weekend!

About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, an ancient artist skilfully sculpted this tiny head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. It is one of the World’s oldest known works of figurative art.

Bedtime cuddles with Ms Gravynose

A Goldfinch perches delicately atop a pine tree, its vivid red face, black-and-white crown, and golden feathers glowing against the blurred green backdrop. It tilts its head to one side, looking slightly puzzled, as if wondering what all the fuss is about. The star, after all, is right where it should be...perched proudly on top of the tree.

POV: Everybody's asking where the star is and you're confused because you are the star

why is it when I have a pizza with the occasional chili on, they always end up being in my last mouthful? 🤯

If you’re not a fan of the tinsel & roast potato season (I flipping hate it tbh) then it might help to know that this kind of thing is just 8 weeks away 👇🏼🌿

My little tortie cat Officer Dibble on patrol in the meadow last June. She's semi-retired from the force now, but still enjoys staking out the log pile for any rodenty miscreants.

“Out of the darkness came the #ocelot” is a #painting of a #cat we met in #Brazil in Sept. I never thought I’d ever see this creature, living wild and free, with my own eyes. It blew my mind.

What is Whitney Houston's favourite type of coordination?

Haaaand Eeeeeeeyyeeee!

It's not officially Christmas until you've seen Daphne looking completely horrified at the decorations on the catflap @daphnethecat.com

Waiting for my coffee order and two separate orders behind mine both Cappuccino both said "no" to chocolate.
Who does that?!?
Does that just make it a different type of coffee?
Cappuccino must have chocolate, surely.

Cheese XL - anything else is a sham

Enormous Christmas tree with golden lights. Situated in a large hall with surrounding galleries on the first and second floors. The galleries are draped with golden lights. People are shopping on the ground floor and the two upper galleries. The hall has a hammer beam style roof and skylights.

Level 45>46 has taken forever.
Looks like the next one will need a lot of Snorax captures 😂

A selection of brightly coloured early spring flowers found in my garden in February, on a black chipped enamel background.

If you're struggling with the short days, dingy dreich weather and losing daylight half way through the afternoon as I am, it might help to know that this kind of thing👇is just 12 weeks away...🌿

Visible slices of turkey and pieces of stuffing, with gravy and cranberry sauce. All hiding chips

The same stuff as the first pic but now served on a plate cos I'm not a heathen

Festive Fries aka Christmas Chips 🤤

Swapped the chipolatas out for extra stuffing. Mmmmm stuffing.

Happiness is... Discovering a fresh rake of Adam Buxton podcasts 🥰🥰 is he on here yet? I know he was avoiding SM for a while.

I will never, ever get over this.

Digging around the James McIntyres on Ancestry last night, found a will for my guy 🤩 confirmed by his daughter's rare name... discovered a second marriage 🫣 ok... Death date confirmed... Which brought up another conflict with understanding The Diary I'm researching... Sigh ...!! #genealogy

But people used to migrate throughout the country even back then... One of my branches came from very north of Scotland (Elgin) to ... Cumbria?? To follow the weaving industry. Mining migration happened a lot... ?

Fantastic!!

You have to feel sorry for pregnant elephants. They have a ridiculously long gestation period, but nobody ever talks about the elephant in the womb.

Phew! X
