It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's an old spice ...
Thursday doesn't happened for another three minutes here,
so enjoy the future for me!

A gift to myself.
If Ladybird had designed tableware, they’d have made the Homemaker range. I love it.

(Designed by Enid Seeney and, like Ladybird, sold in Woolworths)

Those were the days 🔥
The Canterbury Apartments, a legendary Hollywood apartment complex that was a hub for early punk rockers in the late 1970s, including members of the Go-Go's, The Germs and The Bags.

I just learned (from microbiologist boyfriend) about this Japanese scholarly journal called "Genes to Cells" which does these incredible cover images inspired by classic Japanese art. The mitosis with cats!!!!

Very happy that @alan678.bsky.social's #BirdoftheDay theme is #birdinabush: here's a gray catbird peering at me from the middle of a winterberry holly bush, where it had been busily gathering berries until I rudely interrupted.

A gray catbird, only partly visible among the bright green leaves and red berries of a winterberry holly bush. We can see its upper body and head (but not its beak, which is obscured by a leaf). The head is turned and one eye is looking at us.

i'm sure this is old news to some, but gneiss is pronounced "nice," so if you find some (it isn't rare) you can hold it aloft and say "my what a nice rock" and everyone laugh uncontrollably, pee their pants and invite you to lots of nice parties. NICE parties.
