Did u know?This is one of the most important organisms on earth - moss. It's amazing what it does to maintain healthy ecosystems. It minimises soil erosion; captures carbon; harbours tiny souls in its unique habitat & filters & purifies water & air in its dense structure - make room for moss. 🌱🌿🇬🇧🌱🌍🦠

I enjoy playing Eric Satie, especially his Gnossienne suite, which has no time beats at all.

I remember this so well... As the final seconds of a brilliantly funny comedy series, it was shockingly effective.
You'd come to 'know' the characters. Nothing could have emphasised the pointless tragedy of it all more effectively. It was a piece of genius.

Spring in the Weald of Kent by the Kentish artist Rowland Hilder
I love everything about it. The blossom on the trees, the long gone Elm trees, the horse and cart slowly moving through a hedgerow lined lane, the Oasts

Baroque childbearing customs (& seriously exhausted mom) in 1629 Birth of the Virgin by Francisco de Zurbarán, himself born on this day in 1598. Pregnant patron at right, I'm thinking.

My good deed for the day: I saw a bike upside down surrounded by 3 cyclists including one with his mouth on the valve!
They had spanners etc and spare inner but no pump.
I did :)

Porphyry Tetrarchs at Venice
The statue group of the Tetrarchs was perhaps first set up in Nicomedia. It was then moved to the Philadelphion in Constantinople, where they were later interpreted as the sons of Constantine. The group came to Venice with other loot from the Fourth Crusade of 1204.
