Vanessa atalanta, the Red Admiral on the Monarch’s Way I saw on 12/10 had been in the wars but perhaps still heading to the Channel and across on a southerly migration, or perhaps it may overwinter?

A stunning 2,000 year-old Roman blue glass amphoriskos.

#Archaeology
Getty Museum photo of a translucent, dark blue, two-handled, glass flask (amphoriskos) against a grey background. The free-blown body is bulbous in shape, with a narrow neck with a flattened rim. The two handles were added afterwards and attach to the body and mouth. The handle on the right has been attached slightly higher up on the body than the other side. Height 10.5 cm. There is some incrustation on the interior of the glass.

Ah yes - school custard was vile, I agree. And fair enough - if it’s a texture thing too, there’s no future in it😬

Kidney ok too - preferably devilled. I know, I know - abs no logic at all in my tastes. But tbh red meat is not really my thing at all, and certainly anything that bleeds on the plate is not coming close to me.😀

Curlew

Quick splosh of ink after a long-ish day.

Ink and watercolour of curlew walking away from viewer. Tall wading bird on two long legs, brown back and tail, head turned to the right, showing its long, down-turned beak.
