Ah, yes! Moscow squirrel must hear very well, lol
I wonder if anyone has tried to get one of those and an American Grey Squirrel to produce offspring?
He's cute
I wonder if he makes a good stew? :bag:

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
look at those muscles.... :wub:
How tasty that would be!
Such alas is his fate
-I posted his Mother's photo though-you will like her, big eyes and a beautiful complexion! -
I thought it was a sacrificial bull.
No its a grumpy bullock that wont move round the show ring-the little lad is havjng none of it though.

tell us a little about the university Lacertus, what an awesome building.

those ears are something!

So pretty! Now I know the specific reason for not eating morning glories!
this is a big family of plants with beautiful appearences and a bad attitude.Every year they creep over the fence and try to strangle anything they get their tendrils on. In this area they are mostly white but these examples were just a short drive away in a hedgerow.So they can kill by strangulation or poison! :Truly the tiny ninjas of the plant world.

Great photo ! It certainly does convey the difficulties an assault on the castle would entail.
This Castle withstood a three year siege in the Civil War -it was starved out,not taken. It was the last castle to fall to Cromwell in the North.

Ewwww.....lmao
I do have another photograph of "Parkinson's Bile Bean's" as advertised in my home town on a decrepit gable end-they were manufactured about 100 yards away from where I now work. I can't find any formulae but id suspect that artichoke and dandelion should be constituents, any bitter herb would help (chologogue) gentian (Gentiana lutea-but this is a big family) or barberry (Berberis vulgaris) would be my favoured choices.
Whilst I was looking around to se if anyone had a formula I found a chap from San Diego who had a similar picture on his blog-He actually doubted the existence of this esteemed product.All flesh is grass-everything passes away in the twinkling of an eye, odd how something which was a staple "popular medicine" can be forgotten in two generations. How hard is the task of the historian

Ouch!
migraine on the way! interesting this-if that is a sword blow then we seem to be talking a falcata like whack rather than a stab,however if the gladius is a "clean bladed spanish sword" with plenty of weight forward then that would do the job.Correct me if im wrong -kopesh admired by Alexander, (for just this sort of work) ,re-invented as short sword-becomes falcata/spanish sword-refined as "gladius" as we identify it.Falchion is later cousin of falcata for close up work?

I think they built them the same way the Veneti did. I.E. "shell first" instead of laying the keel first.
This picture, judging from how the planks are fitted together seems to indicate that this is correct.
very interesting given the "range " of the Veneti, the Norse and the Normans
-
That does look very Bacony! I actually thought it was an original I hadnt seen! nice work.
-
This photostrip is amazing!
Well thank you very much!
-
UUUUUUUUUUUUUU...but for some reason, he looks a little celtic or saxon warlord. But thanks for the pic.
Yes indeed -id say He looks rather Christianised and a bit Sanitised for popular consumption

Pertinax,
You are a superb photographer...
well thanks for the compliment! Off to Eboracvm now for a couple of days ,I hope some shots of the walls ,the Roman Multangular Tower , Baths and Clifford's Tower will result-but the weather is the key .
-
Whose crest is it?
This is the DeClifford family -now known as the Cliffords-,a Norman family and overlords of the Craven area :my other "Norman Castle " photos show some aspects of the House .
-
Probably. I wanted to have him waving his arm around or something, drew the arm, then didn't know what to do with the hand
but still, I'm very happy with this result 
These people look pretty drunk as well! Keep up the good work

Definatly the Home of Frodo Baggins, Whats the purpose of this room anyways?
This is the result of adding buildings piecemeal to tthe side of the gatehouse,(to the left of picture) ,some later storage buildings have coalesced and an entrance way built under an overhanging chimney .This is now the service door to the rear of a cafe. Hobbits would like the cafe its well restored with low beams and ancestral portraits.

BTW do you use essential oils or infusions?
Will reply in blog as this is quite a tricky thing to explain.

A Musician came to see me today, someone Ive known for many years. He had suffered a strange accident, whilst playing harmonica at a blues gig, an over excited member of the audience had leapt upon him from the floor. Thereby dislocating a shoulder, breaking some ribs and crushing a toe. He left with Comfrey oil and ointment and Yarrow fluid.I hope his recovery is speedy.He was resigned to the strangeness of life.

It looks satisfyingly edible.
the reduced pixels have spoilt the photo to a degree-I hope to post a picture of the location soon, near where the last wolf was slain in England.

Yea, I heard that the stuff stinks, though I've never been in close contact with it I wouldn't know. It was on a Jeff Foxworthy sketch though
Induces dreams...wow...lol that would not be cool for me...my dreams are almost always nightmares or at least really strange ::laughs thinking of the last dream she remembers::
My girlfriend just complained that my vitamin-herb cabinet stinks....
The smell doesn't bother me but it is rather strong...In regards to your dreams L-W, what message from the Gods do you think Hermes is trying to relay?
If youve got vitamin B complex, valerian and schissandra in there then she's probably right. Dried hops arent too good either but I suspect you take them in a different form.

What is "disturbed farmland"?
Arable that has been "opened up" and left in a state of disorder- topsoil having been moved across site, a good example is where the poppies flourish when earth is heaped up randomly during road building. Not a type of Psychotic Soil profile.
-
Surely another Phaecean example?
Judging by the Pegasus, I'd say we've looked at other work by that very artist... Note the wing details on this one and the last entry in my coin gallery. Exactly the same 'latice' design at the feather roots.
I wouldnt argue with any of that! what workmanship these things contain.

I dont know why he looks so miserable-he had a nice home and several wives.
