My photo shows a Roman fresco of a brown rabbit with long ears, curled on the ground, with a rounded, soft-looking body. Its head is lowered as if nibbling at three figs placed in front of it. The figs are small and round with short stems, painted in dark reddish and bluish tones. From Pompeii. Now on display at the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.

Here’s a charming Roman fresco of a little rabbit eating figs 🐰❤️

From Pompeii, 45-79 AD.

Now at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli. 📷 by me

Anyway, despite everything, cheers.

In case of my eldest: downloading MUBI and watching on their laptops

And she's thinking 'My, but the British have terrible teeth'

Well 'moomin felted well in the machine' wasn't a phrase I thought I'd hear today so 👍

Shall look forward to seeing completed

"Nasty"

At this point I wouldn't put anything past him

I am alone in the house and playing COMPACT DISCS. They sound OK but are a bit fiddly, and the track lists and sleeve notes are too small to read. I am not sure they will catch on.

Desperately’ or ‘separately’? Your Freudian slip is showing. Can’t wait for ‘Blue Peter’ to help me make my very own Summer Isle

A screen grab from the documentary film ‘Paul McCartney: Man On The Run’ is a black & white image of an unshaven Paul McCartney in his mid-late 20s wearing headphones and looking down whilst recording, while Linda McCartney is partially revealed behind his left shoulder, and looking straight into camera

A screen-grabbed black & white image of a two or three year old Mary McCartney with short-cropped, thick dark hair grinning into camera, her half-sister Heather slightly out of focus with a ‘curious’ face behind and to right - from the documentary film ‘Paul McCartney: Man On The Run’ (2026)

After #chippytea watched ‘Paul McCartney: Man On The Run’ 🎬: snappy, honest and heartfelt, with more than a little of the Julian Temple way of cinematic music docs about it. Big weepy #Macca thumbs up to all involved 👍🏻

A sign reads NO IDLING ENGINES -FIXED PENALTY NOTICE (FPN) £40 is surrounded by bright white blossom

SCENES in the manor #Spring

That already looks wonderful

Dogs are such optimists

Unfortunately the movie is 5 months behind schedule and 30% over budget and the custom-made camera lenses still haven't arrived from Sweden...

Never felt the same about it after I couldn’t find ‘Flight Of The Navigator’ there

Oof, yes, walking into a old-fashioned bakery, early morning, but not being able to smell the bread - this is the longing of Wim’s angels

And yours?

Cancelled it this week

All the senses involved in that

Ooh, that’s very good

Mrs H just said ‘A glass of wine’ though to be fair only after her first, excellent, answer ‘Tickling a pussycat’ was excluded on ‘aside from loved ones’ grounds

If you were like those angels in the Wim Wenders film, you know, looking down at things but unable to taste, smell, touch - what do you think (aside from scent & touch of loved ones) you’d long for most?

…is literally how my choc-sated visage appears right now
