Grasshopper Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 Had to stop to enjoy the view today. You could see some of the islands in the distance, even the snow on the higher peaks. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 From what I’ve gleaned so far he’s a smelly murderer who pours concrete into peoples basements. Just wondering if anyone checks for bodies being he starts pouring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last few months it was rammed though with lockdowners, but back to normal now. I found a whole new park today that I had never seen before, in my own town, walked past the small gate lots of times over the last 20 years and only noticed the small sign today for the first time. Walked through the little gate into a paradise of peace and quiet with some winos sitting under a thatch roof band stand in the centre, even they were chirpy and wished me a good afternoon. They have a......'stumpery'! I'll take a camera next time I'm out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last batch was multiple hundreds of people at the Royal Mint site and all work had to stop whilst the archaeologists go and do their stuff. This is the first batch below, my colleagues found more in 2003ish https://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/collections/other-collection-databases-and-libraries/centre-human-bioarchaeology/osteological-database/medieval-cemeteries/east-smithfield-black-death-medieval 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so weird how you can live somewhere and pass something frequently without seeing it and then one day for no particular reason it catches your eye. What’s a stumpery? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They refused to go to the doctors. Stumpery? Well it was just a label next to a lot of tree stumps all piled about higgledy piggledy, I think for what eventually grows on them, usually ferns and flowery things I reckon.

Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 They probably did. Mind you paying for a pint of leaches and other quackery you’d rather take your chances! Sophisticated winos, didn’t know they existed, then again round here a wino is sophisticated, they prefer 2l of strongbow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 A few kms from where my parents live there's this residential area where I suspect someone released a pair of some sort of tropical bird. A cockatoo of sorts or similar, they must have taken to the place and now there are a lot of them around, it's a crappy picture but it's there. Sounds like a rainforest sometimes 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Maybe a parakeet. Theyre well known as survivors n strong breeders. London parks have a high population of them. Known for a shrieky call. This pic is St James’ park in London 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
