brb when every other post isn't farage-rage

Kinda depressing when someone comes to me, to ask for a quote to supply an item they, clearly, found via the Internet..they:
1. think, somehow, I can cut the list price.
2. don't realise I can search for an item they send an image of (clearly lifted from the web)

Real enquiries are notional/messy

It's cool how when you try to search for the solution to a computer problem now you can pick from an AI summary, several out-of-date videos by a guy with a shitty mic, or some forum posts on the publisher's site dealing with an obsolete version of the software

Oct 12: Feast of Wilfrid (c.633-709), Northumbrian bishop. One of the most colourful prelates of the time. Championed the Roman dating of Easter at the Synod of Whitby. Frequent thorn in kings’ sides but acted as foster-father to boy-king Osred (†716). 📸Ripon Cathedral #medievalsky

Massive escalation at the Portland ICE facility. Worst I’ve ever seen. More pepper balls than I can count. Teargas in the middle of crowd. Violent arrests. Some type of either noise or rubber bullet shotgun fired into the air then later aimed at protesters chests/heads at near point blank range.

A bright green praying mantis on the lawn near the garden hunting for insects. I’m not certain but I’m guessing this is a female.

Obsessed with the vivid autumnal colours of the blackberry leaves at the moment.

Portrait colour photo of an autumnal blackberry leaf on the turn. It looks flame like. The middle is bright yellow, then orange, then postbox red and burgundy at the tip. It has lime green veins running through it. The leaf is in front of a pale wooden fence.

Photo of Orion over Glastonbury Tor.
If you zoom right in on the right of the tower and just above there are what look like scratch marks all going in different directions. They are not on the shot before or after. For information, 10 second exposure. Do you think they are shooting stars?
