Come on man @westaustralian. This is not Cumbria! Kielder is in Northumberland! If you mention it “as wild woodlands of Cumbria,” people will think it! Get your facts right man 🤦‍♂️😡 #SundayTimes #Perth #Northumberland

Science is the cure for religion. The fossils on Qomolangma (Everest) are about 450 million years old. They are shallow sea-water shell hashes from before the tectonic plate was lifted. That photo and discoveries along the mountain include trilabites. They went extinct 252 million years ago (Everest started to form about 60 million years ago). Earth would need 5.8 billion cubic km of water to flood to the top of Everest. Earth has a TOTAL 1.3 billion cubic km of water. IF earth had enough water to flood the entire planet all the way to the top of everything (it doesn't), it would take a very long time for those shells to form AND fossilize there, and according to the fairy tales, the flood lasted only a year. And none of those sea creatures found fossilized would be able to form in such low salinity and high elevation. At 8,900 meters above sea level, the temperature is -46°C/-50°F. Everything would freeze to death. Additionally.... The flood myth - originally the Epic of Gilgamesh - happened 2500 BCE. It would have wiped out all existing cultures.... including the Greeks, Egyptians, Indus Valley, Mesoamerica, and YET.... we have uninterrupted chrological histories from every one of them. There are a great many scientific and historical reasons why the flood myth is known to be a farce. But it's the physics of the planet that really destroy the narrative. #KnowledgeIsPower

My wee haul from our UK trip recently. Admittedly two are from my wonderful wife @scarabcat but the rest packed very nicely, albeit slightly heavy into a suitcase (or two). I regret nothing!!!

I don’t understand why you deleted this, @PuppyRollz. Don’t you want the whole world to know you were so specific and prescient? (Thank you for alerting me, Mary Cate x)

When visiting Haworth and walking towards the parsonage this cheeky chappy who I have named the Christmas Squirrel made a most welcome appearance ☺️

For #woodensday I give you a rather fierce looking squirrel found at St Nicholas West Tanfield. Not my best picture but it was rather dark inside and some interpretive dance was required to get this particular angle.

This cherub, or putto if you prefer does NOT look happy at all. I must say the skull he’s standing on is a nice touch though. Found at York Minster.

Edinburgh may be a wee bit chaotic outside but we enjoyed a moment of peace in St. Giles.

Having quite the interest in folklore and traditions I was very happy indeed to find a flint hag stone or witches stone today during our UK travels. Hopefully it brings luck to our holiday ☺️

The highlight of the LLIFS resource directory this week is a must-read entry by D Scott Rogo (One of my favourite paranormal authors). There is also a link for you to read the book free via public domain! llifs.com.au/blog/resource-d…

I just finished watching The Canterville Ghost starring Patrick Stewart from 1995 and in my opinion it’s still the best movie version of them all. The 1986 version comes a close second.

This weekends reading material. We did a country drive to an antique fair and this was in a lovely dusty second hand book store nearby. A happy addition to the library.
