(2/2🧵)...He named the nameless hills & dells;
He drank from yet untasted wells;
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere,
And saw a crown of stars appear,
As gems upon a silver thread,
Above the shadow of his head"

the mountains green,
No stain yet on the Moon was seen,
No words were laid on stream or stone
When Durin woke & walked alone....

You've got to remember though, that in those Greek/Roman statues😂... They thought intelligent philosopher men were "smaller"
The gladiators with no intellectual capacity were the guys who were "bigger" and were for... entertainment purposes only.

By "Taken in 2022" I mean I took the photograph, not any part of any statue 😂
I didn't actually examine it that closely...🔍

18 carat gold #Space shuttle earrings from 25 years ago, my Dad brought me back from Kennedy Space center/Cape Canaveral visit.
I don't have an #engineering / #science brain, but I still feel so inspired by the science around space travel/exploration. It blows my mind 🌌

My autumn coloured Firespiral slings woven 100% cotton #blanket & cushion cover. Woven in Bolton, England.
So breathable & soft. You do need to tumble dry for at least for little while to soften after washing, but they are so snuggly

It waits for me after a long #Monday...

(2/2🧵).... on that corner for a while & offered to assist.
Hopefully they fix it soon.
Please don't underestimate how disruptive traffic works, non functioning pedestrian crossings & pavement parking can be to disabled folks navigating the city #disability #travel #Glasgow

(1/2🧵) Just an FYI, 13OCT25 the pedestrian lights at the corner of George square, #Glasgow, #Scotland are still not functioning after the bus collision, even though the red & green traffic lights are showing as on. My colleague & met a visually impaired lady standing... #disability #travel

Well if this piece of decoration isn't an awesome representation of the void of environmental destruction and hopelessness (displayed in a new build show house), I don't know what is ... 😂😜 #decor #environment #wood #art #home

A depiction of a burn circle of tree rings, with a hollow hole in the middle like an O, displayed on a stand like lollypop

He is an Elf-lord of a house of princes. Indeed there is a power in Rivendell to withstand the might of Mordor, for a while: & elsewhere other powers still dwell. There is power, too, of another kind in the Shire"

There's something about comfort food next to a cup of tea, leaded windows and a view over the clocktower of the Town square...
