Last Notes npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Using Pilot ink as paint wash and drawing ink to illustrate the short and dark poem by Jim Morrison from 1967 called Horse Latitudes. (Album: “Strange Days”) npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee #TrumpCartoon #FountainPen #ChalkPastel npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee “Jaberwocky”, by Lewis Carroll npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Louise, Ragdoll , opinionated. An elderly dowager. Also attached is a quick fountain pen sketch of her in dark blue ink. Syo-Ro, also by pilot, using a Pilot Elite fountain pen. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Always loved the name Dyfed. I always thought the last d was supposed to be pronounced like a soft th (þ) so I’m probably wrong. Didn’t it end with two ds in older times? (Or was it a ð?) npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee That’s a bit east of Dyfed isn’t it? npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Yes two examples given, one gives the pronunciation, the other gives the correct spelling: Worcestershire is pronounced “wooster- shire” (sorry if you know this already but it’s anything but obvious!) npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Cholmondely? (Kind of like Worcestershire) npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Thanks for that. I had a look at an article on the Carrington event but it didn’t actually say what sort of radiation it was. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee What sort of cosmic #radiation physically impacts the earth in such an event? npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee #FountainPens #FountainPen npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Nib of my Pilot Elite npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Pilot Elite fountain pen using Pilot Syo-Ro ink. Perhaps my best pen, with a flexible gold plated nib npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee It’s not the fact that you are criticising the Israeli government for their obvious genocide. Feel free, let them have it! npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee “We have a massive Jewry population here (in #australia) that swings elections. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Not a good time to give him a call on his mobile phone… npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee IDF are vicious psychopathic curs. The God they worship, #YHWH, will have it in for them. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Bewwaarrhaaahaaahaaaa… npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee What program did you people use to make a bootable USB drive? npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Thanks! Will try it 👍 npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Great thanks! npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Whereabouts and when taken? Would like to to a painting based on your photograph one day. 🥰👍👍 npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Encourages me to get stuck into the pastels again soon! npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Wonderful work! Well done! 😊🥰👍👍 npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee It always seems to occur about this time of year with the silly season almost upon us. People are grouping together and socialising more. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Lovely post. God bless. 🙏 npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee I hope you and The Palmer Report are right. The alternative is a dystopian nightmare. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee A billionaire with a conscience! npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Good article 👍 npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee But if as you say a third of the white folks down there are sane and the other third are black, You just have to go out and make sure you all vote and vote for Kamala all the way and so win the state. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Yes it’s a bloody silly idea really isn’t it, that I’ve come up with! That would mean all of you black folks, a third of the state, would have to move north away from your homes and start again in the free northern states. Life would be intolerable otherwise. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee So it seems I’ve been had by deliberate lies told about her. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee How about you let these organisms have control of several southern states. Let them split off along the old Confederacy boundaries. Do it bloodlessly, by vote. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee Having xy chromosomes allows you to develop greater body mass and muscle tone advantage over someone who has xx chromosomes. npub1s0e5ufvz7fa0vlstuj36dm4eajdaf2r5p4l4wq3dx0yssxh2nxps90s0wa Eric the half-a-bee What’s he got in his left hand then? Is it the box his cigar came out of or just a primitive mobile phone? 🧐🇳🇿
