Under a thundery yellow sky, Mouse & Old Fox were picking blackberries on Gleydestow lane. Mouse accidentally dropped her basket & began to cry. I can't do anything, I'm such a fool. Old Fox took her little paw in his, you are one of the bravest souls I have ever met, he said.

Why do colleagues come to work and start eating their breakfasts at their desks? Doesn't matter what time of day they come in, they have to start eating. Also eating it with a teaspoon should be banned... #Monday

An extraordinary Acheulean handaxe knapped around a fossil shell c. 500,000-300,000 years ago!
The shell’s central display has been described as an example of aesthetic intention by the toolmaker.

Quitting putting effort into a WhatsApp group chat is an act of self preservation. Always being the one to initiate conversation and getting very few answers in return. Always excuses to meeting up. Well I am done. No more messages from me.

The lake that holds Excalibur is Llyn Ogwen, to the left off camera

This striking account from August 1872 tells of a colliery "ghost." This report comes from near Wrexham, but colliery ghosts are a common theme across Britain. Reports often feature ghostly miners, eerie sounds, and apparitions warning of impending doom.
