@Old_But_Gold50s It will never get old.😊

Of the many beloved classical ballets in the repertoire, Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake may be the most iconic of all, performed perhaps more than any other all over the world since its first staging in 1877. You surely know the timeless "Dance of the little swans", but it's always a pleasure to relive it again, especially in this impeccable performance by the Paris Opera Ballet!

@London_W4 Your beloved opening sentence reminds me of this song: youtube.com/watch?v=AH9mdn…

And now I’m here at the beach. Beautiful sand and a very pleasant view of St Paul’s Cathedral. Got the whole beach to myself. This is the correct way to spend a Friday afternoon. Right, I’m off to build sandcastles.

The beauty of tradition in Valencia during Las Fallas.

@xmuse_ Wow

Every hospital on earth reads the heart the same way The P, Q, R, S, and T labels on every electrocardiogram were assigned by a Dutch physiologist in 1902 Willem Einthoven worked in Leiden, won the Nobel Prize in 1924, and built the alphabet every cardiologist on earth still uses A doctor from a small Dutch university city decided the language that tells surgeons whether you live or die No one outside medicine knows his name

@xmuse_ I remember my friends and I going to a Chuck Norris movie many years ago and having a good laugh at all the antics. Then a guy in front of us turned round and told us to be quiet as he is trying to ‘concentrate’.😳

Chuck Norris is gone. You younger folks won’t get it but for my generation he was the ultimate icon! Walker reruns after school, Delta Force on tape, jokes about him stopping bullets with his beard… Part of our childhood just ended. Rest in peace, Chuck 🙏

@xmuse_ I remember years ago, walking down that bridge. About halfway there is a shrine dedicated to San Rafael, the guardian angel of Cordoba. A public bus went past, and every person in that bus that I could see, turned towards the shine and made the sign of the cross.

Standing tall for over 2,000 years, Córdoba's Roman Bridge is pure engineering poetry.

@xmuse_ My father visited many countries in the ‘70s, always bringing presents back of local produce. After coming back from Spain, he gave my sister a big doll dressed in that costume complete with pom-pims😊

The stunning traditional costume of Montehermoso, in Extremadura, Spain. Vibrant embroidery, bold reds/blacks, and the famous pom-pom gorra bonnet that's pure eye-candy! One of Spain's most spectacular regional outfits.

@BiancoDavinci Sadly the UK lost many of their wrought iron railings and decorations as it was used to manufacture weaponry in WW2.

Victorian jewel, Waterloo House, built in 1890, Melbourne Australia.

"When the war is over, we'll get married and the earth will grow flowers like you, and your womb will carry the most beautiful girl in the universe." - A letter found in the pocket of a dead soldier (WW2). Life, and love, are too expensive to waste.

@AlexTran677026 💯

BLADE RUNNER (1982) Rutger Hauer as "Roy Batty"... Oscar worthy! "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off (the) shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain."

@xmuse_ Wow. I wish Trump and Netanyahu will hurry up.

This epic mountain necropolis houses the rock-cut tombs of Achaemenid giants like Darius the Great & Xerxes. Massive reliefs carved into the cliff and the oldest one dates back to c. 1,000 BC. Naqsh-e Rostam, Iran.

@Desiree_Perez @sciencegirl Bizarre, isn’t it.

@sciencegirl The post clearly says it was made with Ai yet everyone is responding as if this is the truth.

The moment she discovers chocolate pudding

@TimboTiptoes @Rainmaker1973 Yes! When my father as a child became sick, my grandmother gave him a Marie biscuit and a glass of milk. He became a very alpha male but when he asked my mother very politely for a Marie and milk, we knew he was unwell.

@Rainmaker1973 Looks suspiciously like a Marie Biscuit - created in London in the 1870s. So very much a biscuit, and not a cookie.

Is it possible to put a cookie through a small hole? [📹smartpzzle]

@PapiTrumpo @therealrukshan 😄

WHO DID THIS???🤣🤣🤣

@BasilTheGreat Is it too little too late?🤷

🚨ANDY BURNHAM SAYS ANGELA RAYNER NEEDS TO BE LISTENED TO ON IMMIGRATION This is the woman who was promising 5 out of every 7 new homes to migrants These people are insane

@CKMonty @SamaHoole Wow, they must be very old by now😊

@dcbehrens @SamaHoole The same course wooled sheep that are still there.

The Merino sheep changed world history. Originating in Spain, developed through centuries of selective breeding into an animal producing wool so fine, fibres measuring 15-24 microns in diameter, compared to 30+ for most wool, that it feels like cashmere against skin, wicks moisture more efficiently than synthetic alternatives, and regulates temperature in both cold and heat. Spain recognised what it had. For three centuries, exporting live Merinos was a capital offence. The wool trade was state-controlled. The Mesta, the sheep farmers' guild, had legal powers exceeding those of most institutions. The Merino was a strategic national asset. When the ban eventually broke down in the 18th century and Merinos spread to Australia, the Australian wool industry that developed became the economic foundation of the country. The phrase "Australia rode on the sheep's back" described two centuries of export income that built the infrastructure of a nation. One breed of sheep. Capital offence to export. Built a country. The Merino is currently on a hillside somewhere converting grass into fibre that surgeons use in operating theatres, that aerospace engineers use in thermal management applications, and that is quietly superior to every synthetic alternative anyone has produced. Nobody has made a documentary about the Merino. The Merino does not require a documentary. The Merino has the wool.

Fun fact. The Monarch butterfly migration is one of the longest-known, multi-generational insect migrations on our planet. Every fourth generation lives 8 times longer than the previous generations and travels 10 times farther.
