oh god oh FUCK
RIP Warnie
Absolutely in shock. Shane Warne has died at 52. Absolute cricket legend. Genuine Aussie larrikin. Didn’t always agree with things he said or did off the field but no one can doubt his talent, passion and knowledge of the game. He was England’s greatest ever nemesis and just loved the game.
RIP Warnie. You will be missed.
And just for a bonus. The Gatting ball aka the ball that made Warnie famous.
Session Titles
So, when I play D&D I like to give titles to each session because, well, it makes me happy and the DM doesn’t care. The other players give suggestions as well. When we finish an arc I will also add the Arc title as well! So, here is a list of all the session titles that we have and I will continue to update little by little.

Session 3 - Get Out of my Granddad!
Session 4 - The Better Chicken
Session 5 - Ay Qué Spooky Lighthouse
Session 6 - Path to Herrington
Session 7 - Dumb VS Dummer
Session 8 - Sea Fairy! Sea Fairy! Sea Fairy!
Session 9 - Mellón aka MelonArc 2 - TBD
Session 10 - The Thunderous Cove
Session 11 - I Heard a Rumor
Session 12 - Find the Truth Beneath

Scanning Electron Microscope image of the sound producing comb of the Field Cricket (Gryllus pennsylvanicus).
This specimen was collected in the Finger Lake Region of New York State. The sound from this insect comes from their comb rubbing against the underside of the opposite wing. Only male crickets produce the characteristic sound.

Some cricket species have several types of chirping songs in their repertoire. The calling song attracts females and repels other males, and is fairly loud.
The courting song is used when a female cricket is near and encourages her to mate with the caller.
A triumphal song is produced for a brief period after a successful mating, and may reinforce the mating bond to encourage the female to lay some eggs rather than find another male.
An aggressive song is triggered by contact chemoreceptors on the antennae that detect the presence of another male cricket.

There’s something on my knee……
Giant False Leaf Katydid (Pseudophyllus titan, Pseudophyllinae, Tettigoniidae)
If you have ever travelled or lived in China, you quickly observe that crowds form at the drop of a hat, whether it be to watch a game of chequers, minor domestic arguments, traffic accidents…and for foreigners. This happens in the big cities as much as it does in the more remote provinces, but when you are one of just a handful of 外国人(foreigners) in a third- or fourth-tier Chinese city and you are wielding a big camera with a flash diffuser AND you have China’s largest Orthopteran, P.titan (which very few Chinese people would be even aware exists), performing a threat display on your knee in the local park, the exponentially growing band of onlookers stands and stares in silent and, I will admit, unsettling curiosity.
So picture, if you will, the unseen scene in this image. I politely indicated that the crowd move aside so that I didn’t have them in the background of this shot. Behind and to the sides of me however, is a throng maybe two or three deep slowly creeping closer and closer as new arrivals at the rear of the pack push and strain to see what the commotion is.
I should have put my hat on the ground and collected some change…..

La segunda ilustración para la convocatoria de Libro al Viento. Inspirada en el poema «Viaje» de Miguel Ramón Utrera.
Este es un fragmento del poema:
A través del patio
va el leve cortejo.
Llevan las hormigas
un grillito muerto.
(Gallinita pinta,
gallito guineo,
es bueno que ustedes
se den un paseo…).

TFW you get to Chapter XVIII. Unexpected Conclusion of a Cricket Match.
Don’t worry folks. She’ll jump over the perimeter with a motorbike.
Woah! Forgot to update in a while; lucky you, you get a lot at once. A peaceable Peter Davidson. He’s in Dartmoor, just because I like Dartmoor, and so should you.
Little portraits/possible emojis for my Yo-Hos server. :p I love the range of looks in this party.
