My 3 year old daughter once told me she saw a fairy playing by a tree. I went and looked and found a feather. Who knows what goes on😀in this crazy world.

Cornucopia, ( the horn of plenty)is a curved, hollow goat's horn overflowing with fruit, flowers, and grain, signifying prosperity. It was called the "horn of Amalthea" after Amalthea, a nurse of Zeus. In folklore, it became full of whatever its owner desired. #FolkloreSunday

Harvest Festival, takes place on the Sunday closest to the Harvest Moon. Harvest Festival was one of giving thanks through prayer and song. In the Middle Ages folk would dress as Harvest and dance around with a scythe, followed by reapers carrying sickles. #FolkloreSunday

The Nilometer originated in pharaonic times and is a structure for measuring the NileRiver's water level during the annual flood season in Egypt. It was essential to predict the agricultural cycle and warn the population of problems related to the Harvest of grain #FolkloreSunday

We watched this last night. The storyline was sort of borrowed from My Little Pony Equestrian Girls Let's Have a Battle (Of the Bands)film. The music was rather catchy though 😂.

Started watching this post apocalyptic series last night and am really enjoying it. Plenty of gory fun and humour. With lots of great characters.

Iv just heard Terry Reid has passed. One of the great blues/ folk artists. He will be missed. That performance at Glastonbury 1971 was amazing.

One of my favourite bands of the early 90s was Jellyfish. Those 2 albums were amazing. But their music didn't chime with the times. I loved them. And still do

Zara ads banned for featuring 'unhealthily thin' models - BBC News. I get this and totally agree, but would the Advertising Standards Authority ban an advertisement with morbidly obese models in it? Which is equally unhealthy. I thinking not🤔. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

At this time of year we always have an overproduction of Courgettes so I decided to make soup.Its a basic recipe and needs a bit of tweaking. I added extra garlic and onion powder and cooked it longer.

Recently learned Iv got a genetic trait that supposedly links a me to the Vikings. shit!!! Dupuytren's contracture or Celtic hand. I'm sort of happy Iv got links to my ancient history and culture. I think it's a Northern trait so maybe Iv got links to my Romano British history.

I'm looking forward to the US Open Tennis Championships. Tennis is one of my loves when it comes to sport. (Rugby and Golf the others ) I guess it's because it's about one person battling through against everything and being a personal journey no excuses. Win or lose.
