Below Is A Arm Driven Dance,

by choreographer, 

Sadeck Waff who we featured a couple of times in October and December 2021, the performance was mesmerising, well he has made a new dance, 

his new project is called "Murmuration Flower," but this time the viewer is taken above the flower as it opens, to watch the full dance have a look here, as mesmerizing as the first two, amazing.

If You Live In The UK,

or have visited, 

you cold have a fortune in your pocket, image Britannia Coin Company, this 50 pence coin could bring you up to £2,500! the aquatics-themed 50p was one of 29 different commemorative coins issued by The Royal Mint in 2011, with each coin paying tribute to a different Olympic sport. However, only 600 of the ‘lines over face’ 50p coins are believed to have been issued before the design was suddenly changed, this particular coin was still sealed in its original Royal Mint presentation card, with the plastic covering protecting the coin’s brilliant uncirculated finish, Jon White, Director of www.britanniacoincompany.com, explained: “The ‘lines over face’ 50p is easily the most valuable cupro-nickel coin that exists, and will make a sterling addition to this buyer’s collection. The coin is heralded for its rarity as only 600 were issued, making it more than worth giving your own coins a quick once-over before using them and checking behind your sofa too, "There are so many coins with significant value to collectors, meaning you could be sitting on an undiscovered fortune if you catch a glimpse of an interesting design out of the corner of your eye.” so start checking your change now, for more about this and other UK coins to look out for have a look here, and not leaving any of our American friends out, have a look in your coin jars, especially for this one,

First Thing,

we were up and out,

glad rags on,

we were off to visit Steve in Rainham,

it was a nice day as we made our way to the station,

we had checked the times of the trains and would be meeting Steve and Kai onboard,

on the opposite platform,

crowds going to London, it is the Notting Hill Carnival this weekend, as it happens we went there with Steve and Kai in 2010,

and here we are at Bromley South,

Steve kindly meet us at the station and in no time we were at his home,

drinks in the chiller, so all set for the afternoon,

I did the honours,

with the bubbly,

it started to become overcast, but the clouds held off,

group photograph,

'Cheers!', from Diana and Kai,

one of Steve,

and his lovely garden,

features,

and flowers everywhere you looked,

on the shed door,

a clock,

along with a temperature gauge,

and a humidity meter,

ta-dah!

whilst we relaxed looking at the garden,

Steve was busy inside,

Steve joining Kai on the grass,

who then decided to try Steve's chairlift to go to the bathroom,

Diana joined Kai on the grass,

after which Steve brought out from the kitchen some Indian nibbles,

so time to open the red wine,

we all settled down and tucked in to our main course of brisket, pork slices and roasted potatoes, all of which was so nice,

time for a back massage for Diana from Kai,

another quick look at the garden 

and time to relax,

before a huge dessert,

which was absolutely delicious,

a big 'Thank You' to Steve for taking such good care of us and for such a lovely afternoon,

Steve kindly dropped us off at the station, and we said our thanks and goodbyes, the trains run every 52 minutes past the hour, unfortunally, someone who shall remain nameless, (but her name begins with D), misread the time and thought it was 32 past the hour, we had a bit of a wait,

opposite us oast houses that had been converted into homes

I noticed that like Gravesend, Rainham had a platform 0,

the sun was setting,

we were soon at Bromley South waiting for the train to Beckenham Junction, Steve and Kai would stay on the same train to their station, we said our farewells, what a wonderful day, arriving home it was feet up for a nightcap as we watched an Endeavor before we were off to bed.

A Hotel,

not a lot different to many others in China,

but this 26 storey hotel is different from any other, it is not for humans,

it is for pigs! For the last three years, farmers across China have been investing billions of dollars into massive high-rise pig-raising facilities popularly known as a pig hotel, at the end of this month, Zhongxin Kaiwei Modern Farming, a privately-owned company in Hubei, is set to complete a 26-storey pig hotel, claimed to be the largest such structure in the world,

located in Ezhou City, Zhongxin Kaiwei’s massive structure is being touted as the “world’s tallest pig breeding site”. It consists of two 400,000-square-meter buildings, both of which will be equipped with automated feeding machines and smart air filtration and disinfecting systems, as well as a biogas-based waste treatment system that will convert pig manure into clean energy for electricity generation and heating, when construction is complete, China’s largest pig hotel is expected to produce around 54,000 tonnes of pork from a herd of 600,000 a year,

“Compared with traditional pig-raising farms, this saves land and is more environmentally friendly, they save energy and resources” one pig hotel investor claims, but the model remains controversial, apart from the quality of life of its 'guest', if a disease such as African swine flu broke out in a pig hotel it could herald massive losses, a pig hotel? how bizarre!

Some People,

are just so talented,

photographs @Aririria_Art/Twitter, I am so amazed at how these gems look so real,

they are the work of Aria, a talented Japanese artist who specializes in pencil drawings,

to achieve such marvelous effects Aria told her many fans that she spent about 10 hours creating Amethyst and that she used about 40 colored pencils, including 10 shades of purple in order to get the visual effect just right,

“After drawing the grid lines (lines of equal width), I thinly drew the edges of the jewels with a pencil and then drew in the colors precisely,” Aria told J-Town,

I have to say I keep looking at the gems,

they are all just so prefect,

as I mentioned some people have so much talent, to see more of Aria's work have a look at her Twitter and Instagram pages, stunning.
