“If ever you are passing my way, don't wait to knock! Tea is at four; but any of you are welcome at any time.”
It is good to have a homely house in these wild times.

BBC is a bit 'drift' from my views but: Cardiff couple invited man in for Christmas, stayed for 45 years; as a heathen, is what your Christianity on Chrismas Day must look like. If you are critical or commentary on this couple did. Then qs if you are indeed a Christian

Reform UK, vote Nigel Farage if you think

The Minimum Wage is too high.
The richest 4% earning £100,000+ pay too much tax.
The State Pension needs to be means tested.
We should get rid of the NHS.
The retirement age is too low.

If you hate yourself, vote Farage.

Kind of peaceful down here in the dawn.... Wonder what it is like up there.

Lacock stained glass
Lacock church stained glass window showing Joseph, Joshua and Daniel. A close up of Joshua, he has a golden helm, blue cloak with gold trim and a blue shield. A close up of Joseph, his headdress is reminiscent of a Nemes headdress from Egypt. He carries a staff and is richly dressed in reds and purples. A close up of Daniel, he wears a medieval style of hat, carries a bound scroll and wears reds and golds.

🎼What a difference a day makes 🎶
Two photos of the same trees 24 hours apart. This is today's photo with blue sky, sun on the grass and river. Two photos of the same trees 24 hours apart. This is yesterday's photo, a foggy day and the tree is ghostly in the fog, the grass is grey and you cannot tell the river from the sky due to the fog.

Strangely enough, I’ve seen this very thing on the Venice beach boardwalk: a topless woman on a rented scooter. Wheee!!

In this case, however, it’s a glassy faience statuette of the Egyptian goddess Taweret, protector of women during childbirth, holding a sa amulet. 🏺

Ptolemaic, #MetMuseum. 📸 me
In all likelihood, this statuette represents the goddess Taweret, whose domain was the protection of pregnant women, especially during childbirth. Her menacing image, intended to frighten away demons and other deadly creatures, combines human, hippopotamus, crocodile, and lion attributes. The post on her head probably supported a metal crown in the shape of a sun disk, surmounted by either feathers or horns. The stylized symbol under her front paws can be best interpreted as the sa amulet. Although Taweret was worshipped in both secular and sacred settings, this statuette's almost perfect condition, exceptional craftsmanship, size, and iconography suggest that it was created for a temple—possibly for the "birth house" where this goddess was linked with Isis. Ptolemaic, Egypt, Northern Upper Egypt, Qena area, ca. 332-30 BCE. Glassy faience. Met Museum, New York (26.7.1193)
