Last Notes npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Thank you for sharing these. I loved our trip to Angkor. My personal highlight was the Bayon Temple. Journeyed there for sunrise. Beautiful and moving time. You’ve moved me to get some pictures out. Thanks again. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Why, oh why, isn't robbing 100,000,000,000 times as much money as the average person earns a crime? We need to bring back the guillotine for sick, thieving basterds like Musk. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick It's name was linked through a self-referral scheme. They have apologised for the mistake. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I love those gables so much, I have a little collection of Delft miniatures. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I was making a point that you didn't say the number of planes. Which I'm guessing you meant. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Are you basing your comment on weight or volume? npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I don't need to. I followed his comedy career closely but not his musical career. Except I saw some stuff he did with Neil Innes. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick That was redolent of the jazz I used to listen to at college in the late 60s. Very taken with the drummer. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick No 3: My encounters with animals npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick No 2: My encounters with animals npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick No 1: My encounters with animals npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Ze Mad Dogs Ze Englishmen und Joe Cocker. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/115/956/827/186/847/972/original/0da93d91790cd372.jpg npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick B&Q have a Landlord White. Might match. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick What Mozilla is doing is “sugging.” It’s the term used for sales messages dressed up as research and is outlawed in proper research. It is about as dishonest as you can get in your sales message. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I thought they were crosses, worn to taunt Jesus on his return. Reminding him of what we did to him last time he turned up. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I’ve signed to try to stop the BBC from allowing Israel to compete. Maybe you could too. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Thank you for this. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/115/560/353/541/606/745/original/6f41d94cd8fd9b43.webp npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Always bring the Goya painting to mind of Saturn devouring his children. Bearing in mind Saturn was the god of wealth and prosperity. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Sidebar: Back in the day, before privatisation, the British Railways advertising account was up for pitch. One agency left their potential clients (including the BR chairman) in reception for thirty minutes and gave them cold coffee, spilt on the tray. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick My favourite place I have visited. I was there at dawn, with fewer than half a dozen others. Would have loved to have been there on a clear night. Lovely shot. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Even harder to feel sympathy when I discovered the synagogue website with its militaristic imagery and calls for funds to support the war on Palestinians. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Tom, this is shredding my emotions too. My TV news is clogged full of cries of horror and eulogising the victims, criticism that more isn’t done to protect the Jewish population, with no context, no sense of the irony. Not even a hint that it isn’t only the Jewish population being targeted in the UK. I am finding it increasingly hard to feel sympathy after the Zionist propagandists have stretched the definition of antisemitism to a ridiculous level. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick This issue can sometimes concerns me. Feeling I’ve got no traction with people. And I realised that this isn’t a small group meeting together. There’s a crowd. And a lot of the time they’re not attentive, just glancing at what I write. And a lot of the time there’s not enough in what I write to get any engagement - pissing off people excepted. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick glad you shared this. Thank you. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I agree with your sentiment completely. But the past tense is needed here. #BBCNews has failed repeatedly over the past 10 years, gifting Farage unwarranted frequent appearances, including over 36 on Question Time, more than most government ministers. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick For me, one of your best. I love it. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick My usual haunts were close to the tow path. Used to live in Broxbourne, walked to the nature reserve by Cheshunt. Later used to walk up from just below M25. Must be some other bridge in the nature reserve. Thanks, though. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I know that bridge. Have seen it many times but can’t remember where. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I've always been impressed by the way African and Asian schools have their pupils dress npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Using the same measure as the one used by those accusing Diane Abbot of anti-semitism for what she said the accusation is itself racist. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I love these pics of yours. You have a good eye for these. I like em. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Here’s a picture of what I imagine would be #Netanyahu hearing the news of the successful bombing of children at a birthday party. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I enjoy looking up into trees too. And one day the canopy looked back. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I too am fascinated by the abstract art in objects in nature. So much so that I enjoy turning them into abstract art. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I'm having trouble with the Zionist lobby's latest pursuit of Gary Lineker. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick The list of countries US bombed or invaded covers one-third of the population of the planet. Then there's a list of countries where the CIA fixed elections or assassinated leaders which is extensive. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick It has always been thus. Always projecting its own failings on other to make them look bad. I go way back to seeing the US as the bad guys in the Cold War. Surprised that they didn't get called out with Vietnam. Always a picture of selfish greedy country with an over-inflated opinion of itself. You cannot imagine how happy I am to see them now exposed for the black-hats. The world will get on without them. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Thanks for fixing this. And for all you do. I felt a real hole in my day when I couldn’t get in. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick #SilentSunday npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Morning, my lovelies. Sending a big hug and lots of love to those of you who are hurting today. Special mention for those trans lovelies who are fearful for their safety, and for other genderdiversives. To those of you who suffer constant pain in their lives. And to those of you who don’t feel good enough. And for everybody struggling to fit into the normal world, whatever that might be today. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick If anybody is looking to #Boycott US brands: npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick Nice. Minnesota. Hmmm. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick My guess would be grey flycatcher. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I used to know a guy in AA in Houston who was a wonderful story teller. One of my favourites: When I woke up this morning it was 10 below. I went out and the car wouldn't start. Battery completely dead. So I went back inside, knelt by the fire and I prayed. When I went back outside half an hour later and tried the car what do you think happened? npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick My main hobby is stillness. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick I pity those people who cannot appreciate the beauty in *everything* in nature, especially the small things. We should all slow down and engage with what is around us — here and now. npub1fjfkylfttnglum66duhgzsjqj9t5nu3m2m3dg4qmm7yhy6kn8c2q589lqd Dziadek Mick That brilliant blue sky is really evocative of his last film,
