Amazing (Nancy) Grace Roman To Gaze At The Stars

The USA has sent another space telescope into orbit to look at the stars and perhaps find some evidence of extraterrestrials. Ah ... but will they want us to see them? Click on the image to enlarge.

Pots I Have Made Blog

https://davidwollandspottery.blogspot.com or https://davidwollandspottery.blogspot.com/ Some I still have or bought, but most are from the Internet. Each one brings out a memory - in my head.... and my finger tips! I also taught youngsters how to make clay cottages in schools and in my studio as a way to experience making stuff with clay and witnessing the transformation of clay into ceramics. These sessions were very successful and so I have made a clay cottage blog to help anyone wanting to do the same. Click on the words 'Read More'to see more photos. Here it is.... https://claycottages2.blogspot.com/

Solstice Once Again - Russian Style

This cartoon is based on two Russian circus clowns who were performing in Auckland NZ a few years ago. If you are in Russia and looking at this I hope you are coping ok with political events in your country. I hope one day to see Russia take it's rightful place in the community of European nations and at peace. .

Shaney Jones Shocker

Fishing lobbyists appear to have New Zealand Fisheries Minister Shane Jones on their side when it comes to banning bottom trawling. It ain't gonna happen, despite clear evidence that bottom trawling scours the ocean floor to create sealife deserts wherever it is done. Ironically and sadly the more you bottom trawl the slower the regeration necessary to maintain fish stocks. Shane is no stranger to controversy. In the past he was mocked for buying porn movies as a form of recreation. It appears nothing much has changed. He is still "bottom trawling" by the look of it!
