So, I went down the market on Portobello road this morning
They was mostly sold out.
They'd sold all the malice,malevolence and rancor.
Luckily.....
Tennis at Newport (1919) George Bellows Year.
- This painting depicts spectators relaxing at the annual tennis tournament in Newport, Rhode Island.
- Bellows loved sports, and often went to Rhode Island in the summer with his family.

- Manet sold this painting to French art critic Charles Ephrussi for 800 francs.
- Ephrussi sent him a 1000 francs.
- Manet created an extra painting of a single stalk of asparagus saying there was one missing from the bunch.

Hi everyone
This #quote about nothing staying the same is usually attributed to the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus of Ephesus, but Plutarch said something similar.
"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man"

I just hope we're watching that film of seals in real time.
Seals sleep underater with a kind of auto-pilot.
Every twenty minutes, an automatic reflex brings these sleeping seals to the surface for air. Their brain acts like a biological autopilot, allowing them to breathe and sink back down without ever waking up.
This aquarium time lapse shows this behavior.

The Goodies was very innovative for its time.
They came out of the same creative cohort who gave us "Monty Python" and "Not Only but also".
However, the Goodies was much more referential to classic slap-stick and physical comedy.

Ah.....thanks instructions.....I didn't realise.
Also, you know that paracetamol-based pain killer in a bottle for children under 5 years old?
The bottle we have instructs the toddlers not to operate heavy machinery after taking it. 😳

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
They stretched in never-ending line
