Atrocious Apostrophe's

I'm heading east for the weekend. It looks like another cloudless weekend. I'm feeling pretty unlucky this year. I haven't been able to get out there as much as in previous years, and every time I've been out there, I couldn't bring the clouds with me.
It's a weird thing to be grumpy about. But here I am. Grumpy about a clear sky.

The clock tower of the Launceston Grammar School catches the last rays of the setting sun. The school was established in 1846 in the heart of Launceston itself, but moved to this Mowbray campus in 1924.

What can I say. A nice place for a stroll on Sunday afternoon and a brilliant place for fungi. It has some lovely trees.
You'd think someone at Cox corporate would have caught this on their mass-billing envelopes. Well, then again, maybe not.

A healthy one. Oddly there were far fewer than the last few years and yet the very rare Powdercap Strangle appeared for the first time. The Parasite grows up through the stem and puts out a purple mushroom cap. It is much smaller than the host .

It has been -4C. for days, so I was amazed to find this. There were even two button ones coming through.
This survived several days of below freezing temperatures. I took a pic of the same fungus a week before and left the cap there.
The moss is Springy Lawn Moss and it makes this a lovely bouncy bit of grass to walk on.

The building, which was actually Bartlett’s third school building, was completed in 1909 at a total cost of around $21,000. It was located on a full city block and centered diagonally on that block. It featured ten rooms, three offices, and an auditorium. It housed all grades from 1909 until 1917, the elementary grades from 1917 through 1966, and the primary grades from 1966 until 1988.
Dating back to 1509 when it The Royal Grammar Schoolwas set up by a bequest of Robert Beckingham in his will . !n 1512 the executors handed over the land to trustees ( The Mayor and four past mayors ) . In the 1550s the trustees pettioned Edward IV for further endowments which were granted and thus gained the right to call itself The Royal Grammar School .
Thus the school still exists having stood at the top of Guildford High Street since before the time of the Spanish Amada .

Murphys Grammar School is California’s oldest school building in continuous use as a school. Built in 1860 for $4000, it has two rooms. The entire building is 40'x60' which means it cost about $1.50/sf to build back then.
Dr Albert Michelson attended this school and later won America’s first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1907 for his work in determining the velocity of light, which later aided Einstein’s development of his relativity theories.
Metroline VW1828, BK10MFJ, on route 207 to Shepherd's Bush at Twyford Avenue in Ealing Common.
The days of seeing an apostrophe in Shepherd's Bush are over as powers up high in TfL have decreed that Shepherd's Bush is no more, and now will only ever will be Shepherds Bush without the apostrophe. This is despite the area originally belonging many years ago to a person called Mr Sheppard which, over the centuries, evolved into Mr Shepherd. However despite all this, both underground stations in the area will continue to maintain the apostrophe in Shepherd's Bush as is grammatically correct.
Anyone for consistency?
Little Carrie needs some more old fashionated grammar lessons, to be able,
to read all these old english books.
(And 'mom' sometimes, to leave some proper english comments...:)

Aberdeen Grammar School is a state secondary school in Aberdeen, Scotland. It is one of thirteen secondary schools run by the Aberdeen City Council educational department.
It is the oldest school in the city and one of the oldest schools in the United Kingdom, with a history spanning more than 750 years. Founded around 1256, the year used in official school records, it began operating as a boys' school. On Skene Street, near the centre of the city, it was originally situated on Schoolhill, near the current site of Robert Gordon's College. It moved to its current site in 1863, and became co-educational in 1973.
In 1970 the school's name was changed by the City of Aberdeen Education Committee to a more accurate, less ceremonial "Rubislaw Academy" but in 1977 the name was reverted to "Aberdeen Grammar School" by the Grampian Regional Council, who at that point were responsible for education in Aberdeen.
Although the school is named Aberdeen Grammar School, the school is not a Grammar School, The state school does not choose its own students and instead has a catchment zone like other schools in Aberdeen, Scotland.
In an annual survey run by the British broadsheet newspaper The Times, Aberdeen Grammar was rated the 15th best Scottish state secondary school in 2019, and second in Aberdeen behind Cults Academy.
The most notable former student is Lord Byron, the Romantic poet and writer who spent a short amount of time at the school before his move back to England as a 10 year old. A statue of him was erected in the front courtyard of the school. Alumni include Scottish international footballer Russell Anderson and mathematician Hector Munro Macdonald. [Wikipedia]
