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.

 

Even in a black and beautiful Tesla... :-)

You'd think someone at Cox corporate would have caught this on their mass-billing envelopes. Well, then again, maybe not.

Burnsall Grammar School. Built in 1601, with money from William Craven, born in Burnsall. He then went on to be Lord Mayor of London.

One of my favorite examples of Engrish from our trip to Japan is this tee shirt spotted at Tokyo DisneySea. Despite the odd grammar, I approve of the sentiment!

 

While we were over there my daughter noticed that pretty much every single tee shirt we saw was in English or French, and most of the English was quite amusing to a native speaker (I don't read French well enough to comment on that).

 

The only shirts we saw with Japanese writing on them were for sale in a tourist shop...

This little chapel is situated at the junction of two large and busy A-roads. It is the only remaining free-standing chantry chapel in England and dates back to 1309. Now part of Kingston Grammar School but still used for weddings, funerals and other events.

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 .

Not been inside but love the exterior. The grounds are full of interesting nature. One of the fungus species we found there is globally rare.

Thanks for looking.

I put the grammar station next to my file cabinet to make use of the space.

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.

Some places were icy even though it was gone 1pm when we set out. The wind brought down a couple of whole cones. They have come home to make Xmas decorations.

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.

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.

Growing in same place several years running. This one is very dry.

It’s not your average classroom!! The school is in an old hacienda, so the rooms and the grounds have lots of character. (And with us, lots of characters.)

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...:)
