A bit of this and a bit of that. Mostly this. Nothing but blue skies from now on... (movies, TV, scifi, fantasy, the natural world, photography, gardening, politics, words, medicine and common sense)

I’m still globetrotting at 76. New people and new places are what keep me alive
Getting older hasn’t dimmed my love of travel. In my 70s, it’s still all about my next trip, be it a cruise, Goa … or a naturist resort in Crete

These ones are huge...size of my hand. Thought maybe brown rollrim..not quite right though.
Dad was always interested. Lucky we didn't die as he used to pick some for us to eat. Mostly only shaggy inkcap and puff balls but some others like wood blewit. I am always interested but not great with IDs

Were you always good with fungi?
Any idea what this one is? I have a guess but I won't influence you

How delightful is @emmasartworks.bsky.social fungi sheet from her finds. I may have to have a dabble when the weather stops me wandering! 💜

More mushrooms from a recent walk at Sutton Bank, the western edge of the North York Moors (UK) - some beautiful colours! Seems to be a good year for fungi. Pen and watercolour. Identities are best guesses for most.

Fly agaric season continues in abundance. I don't think I've ever seen so many around our local country park. They are popping up all over! 🍄🍄🍄

Deforestation isn’t just about climate breakdown — it’s about people.

In Brazil, West Papua and beyond, it’s driving displacement, human rights abuses and violence against women and girls.

Watched Ted Lasso for the fourth time.
I fall in love with Ted and the gang every time.
I hope season four doesn't ruin it.

Finally given into some heating.
Mostly cause I have visitors.
Ideally it would have been November.

There was lots of fungi out around our local country park today. #fungifriends
Penny bun or boletus edulis. Fresh specimen with a thick beige stalk and a brown cap. Russula atropurpurea or the Purple Brittlegill. A purple cap with white gills and stalk. This specimen among leaf litter has been nibbled around the edges by creatures unknown. Coprinus comatus, commonly known as the shaggy ink cap or lawyer's wig. This specimen has black ink visible around the bottom of the shaggy white cap. Laccaria amethystina, commonly known as the amethyst deceiver. These are small mauve coloured mushrooms with more vibrant purple gills.

Seems fair.
But it may result in more vet visits

Rewatching Ally Mcbeal
It's my 2nd rewatch. I am still very annoyed with Robert Downey Jr.
They had great chemistry.

Printing presses kept their letters in cases.

Capital letters went in the upper case.
Smaller letters went in the lower case.

This is why we say ‘UPPER CASE’ and ‘lower case.’

Ok, but what did we call them before the invention of the printing press?

MAJUSCULE and minuscule.

How far is it?
Looks stunning. Enjoy.
I usually end up saying "Whose idea was this?!" (Always mine)
