Beautiful, thanks Toot.

Two greats of the game.

Why can’t they find out what causes it, it’s tragic how it keeps on happening.

Totally agree Toot, so sad to see.

[RnR]

I hope the numbers keep going down too Suze.

Haven’t heard from Celia either, hope she and her husband are OK.

Those famous red boxes.

The role of the boxes has not changed for over a century.

King Charles III has been pictured with his red box for the first time.

The boxes contain papers from government ministers in the UK and the realms and are made by British leather goods company Barrow Hepburn & Gale. Documents are sent from the private secretary’s office to the King, wherever he is around the world, in a locked, red despatch box.

The late Queen received one on every day of her reign except for Christmas Day.

Toot, loved your pic of the Art Nouveau ‘Elderberry’ tea set from 1907 by Villeroy & Boch, Mettlach, Germany.

Reminded me that we received a beautiful large Villeroy & Boch “Scarlett” serving platter for our wedding in 1969.

Still have it and use it.

Good on him.

The Order for Courage is a Ukrainian award established by Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma on August 21, 1996.

Hard to believe.

Good grief … thought they would have had a huge arsenal of more modern rifles.

The Mosin-Nagant Model 1891 bolt-action rifle combined a simple design by Russian Captain Sergei Mosin with a five-round internal box magazine designed by Belgians Émile and Léon Nagant. Entering Russian service in 1892, it remained the standard long arm of the Russian infantry through the Russo-Japanese War, World War I and, in its improved 1930 Soviet version, World War II.

It proved murderously successful. In fact, German snipers reportedly preferred captured Mosin-Nagants to their own Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles.

[RnR]

Such a huge fuss … being very widely reptorted.

[RnR]

What a shot, thanks Toot.

[RnR]

Love it.

Lovely close-up photo from ABC’s best photos of the week.

After the rain. It was a bit wild this weekend, one moment sunny and almost spring like and the next rain and wintery bursts! I found this bee clinging to our blossom tree trying to recover from the sudden rain. Hope it’s enjoyed or at least seen. Contributor Dan_Mab.

See more best shots.
