@anniearyfridd.bsky.social Pigeon-brassica art!
You have to admire the pigeons' art work on my Brussels sprout plants at the #allotment. All now covered up with pigeon proof mesh again so hope they will recover. #SmallBeauties

Well, this isn't terrifying at all...
19th century wooden “walking” doll with a wheel of eight legs ~ when costumed, the doll’s long dress would cover most of the leg mechanism, allowing the doll to “walk” when moving, while appearing to have only two legs at any one time www.theriaults.com/events/listi...

The 25th of November is St Catherine's feast day.
"This isn't about God,
the stained-glass legends of broken wheels, the barrowload
of miracles, or the dinner-plate halo they will nail to your head.
Under the gospel,
the truth of it: woman answers back, ends up dead."
- Rosie Garland
