rodo: I gnaw
Minimus is nibbling a pastinaca (carrot) with his sharp little dentes (teeth). The Romans brought carrots to Britain, but they weren't luteae (orange) back then, but albae (white).

greetings, many thanks, and au revoir to all who sought me out and nourished of my soul with your kindliness.

I will miss home.social and @ralf, who gave my hidden seed a chance to sprout.

So whilst it is with some reluctance, I must start my engine and toot-le off to reinvent my self.

And I eagerly await for you to find me there ....

Take me to a church, I’ll worship, like a dog at the shrine of your lies ⛪️

Which pre 1909 author is his most notable omission?

Is it a new thing where your friends don't bother to acknowledge your birthday?
I'd’ve been happy with a small text just wishing me, ’happy birthday‘, maybe a cake emoji or something if they felt like adding it.
Is feeling completely forgotten & invisible just me being selfish (I expect it is 😔) or is it amplified by being #ActuallyAutistic?
I'll have to find a way to shift this feeling as it's a bit stale now and it's bringing out the depression & loneliness in me.

Happy Birthday - and enjoy the rest of it.

#DraculaDaily starts in a few days (May 3rd)! It's been forever since I've read it, and I'm looking forward to reading it again in a chronological format.

@Minimus - oh how I wish I could fly like that. Great costume design too, as always.

@mercurie - oh I love that movie, especially the part where they sit in the train carriage which does not move, but the diorama of the scenery moves behind them to make it appear they are travelling... So romantic.
If readers have never seen it, or do not know the delights of a black and white movie where you must imagine the colours, find it online and watch it.
I may just watch it again tonight!

@Irisfreundin - many thanks. You are right, I do not know as much as I ought about mythologies, but often what we do know is based on half truths that fit the story someone wanted to tell. It is sad that beliefs which were once so prominent in daily lives have almost, if not entirely vanished. But I am heartened that for some brief moments our mentioning them has made Woden and Odin feel remembered and wanted once more. And I will definitely go and discover, which is thanks to you.

@Minimus
Oh wow this brought back so many memories of when I was living in a house with ivy on the fence and the field mice used to run about inside it. I always wondered how they actually got up there - and I know now.

@Irisfreundin
As a novice, have I left it too late? For you already have actual big lettuces (or maybe it is lett-i?).
Should I move them to a cooler place?
My decision to grow them was two part. A kindly soul, unknown, left the below at our local book exchange, usually only for fiction, and, sadly, densely worded, in tiny text, with serifs. And oddly they put it in such a way that so I could see the picture on the cover.
But this said you planted lettuces in April/May.

Live fully. All of these amazing things we have achieved as the human race. How to make cheese. How to make wine. All of these wonderful creations. Too many dogmas, including Buddhism, tell us to refrain from this and from that. This is not the way we are meant to live. Taste every moment. Laugh. Do not get to your death bed and say to yourself, “Damn I didn’t eat that cake. I didn’t have that glass of wine.”

@Minimus - and everyone else can see the original mus scorteus - and see how wonderfully minimus created his tribute - at https://www.vindolanda.com/news/roman-leather-mouse-discovered

@luke thank you for expanding of my vocabulary, and for sending me off to translate, perchance to understand. For I am excited by all of the possibilities so uncovered. Yes, my return to art-ing did make me fear of being foolish for posting such a thing. Then, slowly, light-headed, maybe even high, on the responses I received.

However I am still not sure I dare to connect to the thought of something that burst forth from the mess inside my head might actually be cool - or even good ...

@Minimus - beatus pascha, little Minimus and Minima - though you may well still be a-snoozing and a snoring, sleeping off the eating of all that caseus...

Happy Easter from the Doctor!

He doesn’t often do Easter, as he can never find it. It’s always at a different time! Though he remembers the original 😂

Agent Cooper: Harry, I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange

8 April 2023

Thirty Three Years ago today saw the first ever edition of Twin Peaks on American television.
Like most things, my over empathetic self watched in parts -some I liked, some I loved, some scared me, and some hit too close to home.
But it definitely could use another re-run on free to air tv, all three series.
Don`t you think?

And I really love those tarot cards by Benjamin Mackey. Well out of my budget though.

@Soldusty looking forward to seeing that sharing.
