Great to do some canal-based wanderings in Jericho today on our way to the Oxford Canal Festival. Stopped at The Old Bookbinders for an emergency pint on the way back too, ofc.

Rewley Road Swing Bridge in Oxford, adjacent to the Oxford Canal. The swing bridge has two parallel sets of railway tracks. The swing bridge is surrounded by patchy grassland, and there is another railway bridge, and some houses in the distance. A small iron pedestrian bridge, painted white and black, over a canal surrounded by trees, with some cut branches in the foreground. The photo shows a side-on view of the Oxford Canal. The end of a blue canal boat and some overhanging tree branches are on the left of the image. St Barnabus Church with its tall tower is in the background.

This spectacular two-story mural of author and Merry Prankster Ken Kesey was created in 2015 in his hometown of Springfield, OR. It was designed by Portland artist Craig Ferroggiaro and painted by the Old City Artists based out of Los Angeles.

Pivnice U Čolka, Brno 🇨🇿 4th visit. Tábor street is the under the radar area. Hype from me won't change that. Vorkloster 10° on tap is magic, but it's acquiring more personality over the years too. Messages on the walls, a bit of confidence and comfort in its skin that plain 'naked' new places lack👍🍻

There’s a place in Clare which the English call Lisfarbegnagommaun. In Irish it is called Lios Fear Beag na gCamán, the ring fort of the tiny hurley-wielding men. Some say that mushrooms growing nearby made the little lads visible.

It's Lanmaoa asiatica which "contains none of the psychoactive compounds known to science, including psilocybin" which means they're not illegal yet lol
