Hey Irishgirl, I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist!

I found this photo the other day and thought it was really funny because Irish summers are sh*te!

Invisible worlds

Mrsgunka sent us this fascinating video showing a tiny fraction of the stuff that goes on around us but we can't see... Thank you, MrsG.

The horror!

This cartoon made me laugh, as I have a ferocious tea drinker at home...

Going up, going down.. up down, down up!

How to name a post about stairs, eh? Some of these are very beautiful, others are practical, but a couple of them look terribly dangerous...

It's that time again... groaners!

I collect visual puns religiously. When I have enough for a post, I publish them and wait for View to post a really good one in the comments...

Highland games in... Virginia!

Lynn attended a festival where many men in kilts could be observed. Here's her report, with some detail about the caber toss added by me:

Today was the day of the Highland Festival and, as promised, there were men in kilts. Sadly, many of them looked about to deliver triplets, but there were a few fine specimens.



Tossing the caber is a Scottish athletic event consisting in throwing a “caber,” a straight, approximately 17-foot-long log (from which the bark has been removed) so that it turns over in the air and falls on the ground with its small end pointing directly opposite the tosser.


This guy looked especially pleased when I asked if I could photograph him for my blog friends/kilt fans. I think the fact that I told him he was about to become "internationally famous" didn't hurt either.


Thank you, Lynn. The whole thing looks very entertaining!
