I found this fungi growing on top of the compost in a pot plant at work. I can't identify it despite searching through hundreds of pictures.
Lara Crofter walks home on a hot summer night after attending the Pussy Riot fund raising concert at Tarbert Community Centre. The event was held in honour of the imprisoned Russian punk band and was organised by members of the Heb Girlz.
Highlight of the night was the fancy dress competition, which if judged by audience reaction alone would have seen Lara walk away with the coveted first prize of a 30 second trolley dash around Akram General Stores. Much to the displeasure of those in attendance, the panel of judges decided Lara's costume didn't contain quite enough costume and declared the prize would be awarded to someone who had put in a little more effort.
Top honours went to Calum the bus driver, who travelled all the way from Scalpay dressed as a 3 metre high wind turbine. Calum suffered a slight mishap before the prize-giving ceremony when a seagull snapped one of his turbine blades while he was taking a cigarette break in the car park. Mr Akram agreed Calum wouldn't have to wear his wind turbine costume while executing the trolley dash.
A hastily arranged consolation prize of a free fish supper for one from Big D's take-away was organised to quell complaints from a couple of well heeled millionaires who were in attendance. They'd rented their outfits at great expense from multi-award winning costume designer, Herbert Bagshot and were fully expecting to walk away with first prize. Part of Bagshot's forthcoming winter range, entitled 'Not another f***ing black house', these stunning 5 star creations will shortly be available to rent from £2500 per week.
Total raised on the night was an impressive £632.88. The Heb Girlz would like to thank the Yummy Mummies of the local Croileagan for preparing the delicious buffet, Catch 22 and John Murdo Morrison for the musical entertainment, Akram's, Brownie's and AD's for all the raffle prizes and last but by no means least, a very big thank-you to all those who turned out to show their support.
Finally, in a show of true community spirit, Calum was seen assisting the disgruntled millionaires after the show. They'd left the lights of their Land Rover switched on all night, resulting in a flat battery. Calum hadn't told anyone his wind turbine costume was fully functional. He connected himself to the vehicle's battery and faced into the wind. Seven hours later they were all on their way.

New Plushies! I'm becoming weaker and weaker against strawberries....
I got HK and then came home to a package filled with Sugarbunnies! Clearly these two were meant to be friends.
First Hello Kitty Plush!

The carp is a large group of fish originally found in Central Europe and Asia. Various carp species were originally domesticated in East Asia, where they were used as food fish. The ability of carp to survive and adapt to many climates and water conditions allowed the domesticated species to be propagated to many new locations including Japan. Natural color mutations of these carp would have occurred across all populations. Carp were first bred for color mutations in China more than a thousand years ago, where selective breeding of the Prussian carp (Carassius gibelio) led to the development of the goldfish.

Whilst focusing fairy free and full of flighty fancy several hues flickered through the lens not quite as fast as flighty fey folk. How buttery do you like your backgrounds and how sharp do want your foreground fashions? The Summer Sun lights on the wonders all about us and in saturation and refraction it shapes a world just beyond us.

Pattern source: Knitting Vintage Socks / Nancy Bush
Yarn: Schoeller + Stahl Fortissima Socka
Needles: 2,5 mm for the upper leg and 2,25 mm for the rest of the sock
Modifications: replaced the scalloped edge with k1 p1 ribbing, did one extra pattern repeat in the leg, made the heel longer
Well. I'm a bit disappointed with these socks, mainly because of the yarn. It's not a nice wool, it's scratchy and sticky, and an especially bad choice for this delicate lace design. I should have stopped after knitting the first sock, but I was stubborn and wanted this yarn out of my stash. Stupid, eh?
Dothan has two mostly unrenovated KFCs. This one even has fancy decorative touches on the exterior.

My Repro Francie has a bit of a hair cut and new hands so her wrists can finally pose better and all that lol.
A line up of fancy dressers on a Coach Holiday to the belgrave Hotel in Torquay in 2004. These old people can certainly enjoy themselves when they are away and are a pleasure to be with.
I would do with this location, such stunning scenery, hidden secret fish ponds, views onto the Dee Estuary, further onto Wales, what a vista!
