Spelling & Grammar Errors

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.

We came across this old fashioned public school as we were driving to a local supermarket whilst on a short break away with my in laws.
I entered the school grounds to take this shot one evening. The school term had finished. Here are the prices if you’re thinking of funding a pupil to go there 😄..

What can I say. A nice place for a stroll on Sunday afternoon and a brilliant place for fungi. It has some lovely trees.
The millipede may be small, but once they grew 8 feet long and were among the earliest land colonisers. Most millipedes do not have a thousand legs. One species had 1034. Grammar School Stafford UK 20th November 2021
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.
Lots of these.
I walked all the way to the pond at the back of the school today and not a trace of Dragonflies or Damselflies. I did spot a small furry thing and a few Ringlets. The sun went in and we were lucky as it poured with rain 5 minutes after we got home. I only had 3 two minute sit downs in an hour and a half walk.

I am still able to chase butterflies, slowly and the surgeon thinks I should be kneeling to take fungi shots by Autumn.
The photo below was taken in 2020. Same stump. There is a bench and table over the stump now making it very hard to get a photo.

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 .

I don't see this every year and not usually so close to home.
I think there is an ascomycete growing on it too.

A lovely short walk today. The sky was so blue and the sun was warm.

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.
Horse Chestnut buds.

Too think we thought we were naughty children by picking these buds and sticking them on other kids clothes. Nowdays kids are toting knives. Sad world.
Sydney Grammar School (SGS, colloquially known as Grammar) is an independent, fee-paying, non-denominational day school for boys, located in Sydney, Australia.
Incorporated in 1854 by an Act of Parliament and opened in 1857, the school claims to offer "classical" or "grammar" school education thought of as liberal, humane, pre-vocational pedagogy.

The light makes this look rather more purple than it is. The cap is a rich chestnut colour.
Although it looks similar, this is not the same as the one from the Grammar School.

Old School
This is my friend Brendan of Old School Typewriters. Brendan by day is lead vocalist with the popular rock band BCDC. I, on the other hand, am a guy who enjoys classical music and going to the symphony. What a combination!! How does a classical music guy become friends with the leader of a high voltage rock and roll band? Typewriters!! We both share a passion for them. Brendan is so amazing and gifted in many ways! Through his business Old School Typewriters he repairs and restores typewriters for himself and people who love them. He often gifts them to schools for kids who are thrilled with the opportunity to create stories on these wonderful old machines. They don’t ask you to log in, boot up, need updates and most importantly, don’t interrupt the train of thought to nag about spelling or grammar. They can just let their imagination flow. As we spoke this past weekend he was finishing a typewriter for Canadian Hall of Fame and Order of Canada winning author, poet, novelist Margaret Atwood. He’s recently finished a typewriter for Tom Hanks among other typewriter loving celebrities.
Brendan is hosting a “Typewriter Takeover” Sunday April 30 12-2pm at Brave Brewing 2617 Murray Street in Port Moody. There will be a bunch of wonderful machines, from various eras, for people to play with. Donations will be accepted for the Terry Fox Foundation. An absolutely gorgeous fully restored vintage portable typewriter is being given away as a door prize. If you are in the area, drop in. For some it will be a new experience and for others it will be a trip down memory lane. I will be there too, I’m photographer for the event so I hope you are able to come and if so, find me (I will be the guy with a camera) and say hello!

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.

Since first finding Earthy Powdercap I have been lokking for this. Powdercap Strangler is a parasite which wraps around the stem and forms its own cap. . Elated. Grammar School Stafford UK 22nd October 2023

Update A member of the fungus group just did an 80 mile trip to come and see it with me 28th October 2023. We found it , it was well matured and the lawn had been mowed so it was fallen. He took the specimen with him to show to the Shropshire Fungus Group All those gorgeous waxcaps mowed down.
I was always looking for yellow caps, I did not realise the caps are purple. It is a different fruitbody growing from the base of the stem. It is a first for me. These were only 20mm tall and I thought I was snapping something else. There were lots of healthy Powdercap nearby.
Update Kew Gardens wants a specimen. They contacted me within a few hours of sending the photo to them.
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?
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.)
Local masons built this church by eye rather than from a plan. Edwin Sandys, 16th century Archbishop of York and Hawkshead’s most famous son, raised the roof and installed a clerestory. William Wordsworth worshipped here when a boy at Hawkshead Grammar School. The tower contains a peal of eight bells, five of them dating from 1765. Unique 17th and 18th century scripture texts adorn the walls as do some fine Georgian monuments including one to a Lord Mayor of London.
This historic Lake District church, a key feature of the village, has several unique features. There was a Norse chapel here once, and an early church was built in the 13th century. The present building is mostly 16th and 17th century with some 14th century work in the tower. The round arches of the arcade suggest Norman work, but are in fact the work of local masons, who built this church by eye rather than from a plan.
