Happy #Halloween!
A wonderful 2nd century AD Roman mosaic found near Antioch, Turkey showing a skeleton, cup of wine in hand, reclining on the floor of a dining room in a house reminding guests to enjoy life: ‘ευφρόσυνος’
Detail of a black mosaic with a white skull, the boney arm of the skeleton raised, and a few ribs. Mosaic with black background, reclining skeleton with cup of wine in hand with two loaves of bread and an amphora upright in a stand.

“When the spirits are low, when the day appears dark, when work becomes monotonous, when hope hardly seems worth having, just mount a bicycle & go out for a spin down the road, without thought on anything but the ride you are taking.”

In July 1951, "Steel Grandpa" Gustaf Håkansson, 66, unofficially rode the Sverigeloppet, a 1000-mile race through Sweden. By not sleeping he arrived a day before the other riders, crossing the finish line on a flat tire.

Happy #BicycleBirthday, Gustaf!

I love this story of a daring zoo escape ... the "bears made their way to the food store and consumed a week's worth of honey". Staff added, "both bears are extremely happy". 🍯😀

If anyone sees my old Gazelle e-bike about town, do shout!

Stolen, probably, yesterday from #Headington. Eight years old, non-matching front forks, declining battery, dependable.
