Wyld's Globe stood in London's Leicester Square from 1851 to 1862. It was a large "inverted" globe with the continents and oceans depicted on its inner surface. Paying visitors (2/6 on Thursdays and Saturdays, and a bargain at 1s. other days) then climb the platform in the center and look at it in wonder.

I like sometimes to play with colour gradations, particularly hair, gemstones and eyes. With hair it's usually quite simple: a realistic base hair colour, tinted at the ends towards one end of the colour spectrum. With eyes, its more a fascination with and unnatural irises, while multi-hued gems are just interesting to look at. And wouldn't it be reasonable for a person to choose to wear gemstones that match their eyes?

For this here’s my newest post about De la Beche’s “A Coprolitic Vision”, a pretty hilarious piece of satire that was actually among the very first pieces of paleoart, predating even Duria Antiquior: manospondylus.com/2023/05/was-

OK, folks, I need recommendations for a , , or game. I need:

- RPG system that can be used for playing over Discord. So, I’d prefer if it used dice instead of, say, cards.

- a bit crunchy. Savage Worlds is a bit too much. Something like Hollow Earth Expedition or Owl Hoot Trail is just right. Tiny Cthulhu seems, well, too tiny for my taste.

- some kind of online support. Having at least a fillable character sheet PDF would be nice.

Thank you in advance!

A large leafless tree stands at the end of this red brick Victorian terrace of shops. The tall arched window shops still have their original restored signage in place with the end of terrace belonging to Winder & Co. The side wall facing the tree reads Winder & Co Tobacconist Confectioners Smallware Dealer. I much prefer it to the commercial streets of today, this one is on Abbey Road in Barrow-in-Furnes in South Cumbria

You may consider leisure caravanning to be a 20th century invention.

The first touring caravan is considered to be the Wanderer designed by Victorian author Dr. William Gordon Stables, built by the Bristol Wagon Works Company in 1884.

Dr. Sables' book 'The Cruise of the Land Yacht Wanderer' detailed his tour of 1300 miles to Scotland, a free version published online at gutenberg.org/files/37687/3768

I saw this lovely old Victorian home in Cape May, New Jersey. It was a dull day and so I decided to try to brighten things up by making it all appear to be early evening including lighting the small light by the gate. Interested? pictorem.com/536093/Victorian%

My own is worn to death on camera, and it's all black and white anyway. Nicky's fabulous burgundy gown has inspired me to shop for something a bit more colourful so I don't look too underdressed in comparison!

I've ordered this and set - not sure how well it'll fit, but it's due to arrive tomorrow there's plenty of time to order another size or make adjustments if needed.
