According to folklore, the summer solstice is a liminal time of the year, when the veil between this world and the Otherworld is thinning, and fairies and other supernatural creatures may cross over into the human world.
Traditionally bonfires were lit to keep otherworldly beings at bay, and it was believed that carrying oatmeal in your pockets could offer protection against fairy mischief.

It's called ClickFix. and it's the fastest growing attack technique in cybersecurity right now.
The attack works like this:
Attackers find a real website with a vulnerability. a WordPress plugin. an outdated CMS. an unpatched SQL injection. They inject a single line of JavaScript and leave.
The next visitor sees a normal website. then a Cloudflare-style CAPTCHA appears. Looks exactly right. same logo, layout, nothing changes.
Except instead of clicking boxes with traffic lights, it tells you to:
press Win+R. Paste this command. Press Enter.
That command installs a keylogger, infostealer, or remote access trojan.
Your antivirus didn't flag it. because you ran it yourself. on a legitimate website, using a built-in Windows tool.
ClickFix activity surged 517% in 2025. 700+ education and tech websites were compromised in a single campaign this year. One variant infected 147,521 systems between August 2025 and early 2026.
One rule catches every version of this attack:
A real CAPTCHA never asks you to leave your browser.
never asks you to open the Run box.
never asks you to paste a command.
If it does, close the tab.

Lily is looking for a new home.
Due to unforeseen circumstances Lily is looking for a new loving, forever home.
Lily is a 9 year old Domestic Shorthair Tabby.
Lilly had to move to a house with two other cats which hasn't worked out.
The stress and threat of being with the other two cats has had an effect on Lily as she has started to be reactive, will hiss and try to scratch which she never did before.
She is not suitable for a house with young children and lots of noise. She needs a home with no other animals and people who understand cats in order for her to build her trust and come out of her shell.
Lily loves attention, she is a very affectionate cat on her own terms, but can be a little spicey if not ready for interaction.
She would benefit from people who can give her time. To sleep she loves a comfy cushion on the sofa or nestling between pillows on the bed.
Lily is spayed, microchipped, registered with the Vet, no medical problems,. She can be left on her own, she eats wet food.
Lily will come with Carry Box, Scratch Box, Scratch Tree & Electronic Feeder.
Lily is an indoor/outdoor cat.

@dufitalexis1 Love this...
My 8 yr old nephew was terrified of Spiders. We went into the garden & sat watching a garden Spider weave her gossamer web between 2 rose bushes. I explained her methods of web-making, using physics/chemistry/etc.
By the time she finished, he was totally pro-Spider😺
The web across the path is the gentlest pest control there is.
You walk face-first into it on the way to the garden — that invisible thread strung across the path — and suddenly you're swatting at your own hair, certain something's crawling on you. Nothing is. But behind you, hours of patient, beautiful work just came apart in a second.
The orb weaver who built it wasn't lying in wait for you. You're a thousand times too big to interest her. Her whole world is the size of a mosquito.
Every night, she spins a near-perfect wheel of silk between your plants — a structure so precise it looks designed — and then she sits quietly at the center and waits. And what drifts into that web is exactly the lineup you'd pay to be rid of: mosquitoes, gnats, midges, flies, the little moths that chew your leaves. She catches them by the dozen, night after night, with no spray, no smell, and no cost to you at all.
She is no danger. Her venom is built for prey the size of a fly, harmless to anything as large as you, and her instinct when something big comes near is to drop on a thread and hide, not to bite. She wants nothing to do with you.
Here's the part most people never learn: many orb weavers take down their own web at the end of each night and eat it, recycling the silk, and spin a brand-new one by morning. The web you blundered through wasn't a permanent fixture. It was a single night's pest trap — and she'll have rebuilt it, fresh and flawless, by the time you're back out with your coffee.
If her web crosses a path you use, you don't have to destroy it. Duck under it, or gently move the anchor thread to one side. And if it's strung somewhere out of your way, the kindest and smartest thing is simply to leave it — and let her keep working.
She asks for one quiet corner and pays you back in mosquitoes all summer. Worth ducking under.

The Establishment is clearing the path for the next British Prime Minister and Andy Burnham will be on 'Team Israel' or he will be toppled.
You cannot become PM without supporting Zionism and Andy knows that.
Besides, he's already shown that he can change his mind on the Middle East if circumstances require. He's a shoo-in.
A message from Football Park Scotland to the people of Boston and Providence!
Thank you very much for being quite amazing hosts for not only our on-site team but the whole of the Tartan Army, you have been unbelievable to each and every one of us. We know what a challenge it must have been to keep up with approx 50,000 of us who came to your communities throughout the course of the last twelve days or so but you’ve have been the best hosts that we could have possibly asked for.
We’ve made new friends, we’ve partied in the streets, drank in bars…a lot, we went to our favourite sport at Gillette Stadium and then went to yours at Fenway Park, we’ve taught you new dances which you have since taught back to others, we’ve swapped Irn Bru for Root Beer, we’ve laughed, sung and smiled a lot and we’ve even helped to declare a new international allegiance between Boston and Glasgow and not once did you question to why we put cones on your statues.
At Euro 2024 in Germany we officially declared Cologne as our home from home, after our game against Switzerland, and it might never have been topped. Let’s just say now Boston and Providence is also now our other home from home, we just need to cross a big ocean to get there and hopefully one day we will get that direct bridge link between Boston and Scotland built…let’s just connect Cologne to it as well.
Our on-site team have now arrived in Miami where we’ll continue to support our country and provide coverage so we hope you stick with us here on X(Twitter) and follow our journey and you can also find us on Instagram, Threads, TikTok and YouTube. Simply search Football Park Scotland and you’ll find us.
On our @thefootballpark website we have left a blog of our days together as a memory of all that has happened, find it by clicking the link in our bio that links directly to our website and once on go to blogs and you’ll find it from there.
We wouldn’t say goodbye as there’s a chance we could return during the tournament, but only if certain scenarios and results occur but there is no guarantees in football. So instead let’s say see you later and we look forward to returning, whenever that will be, and we hope that one day you too can come and visit us back home in Scotland.
She hunts the midges from your garden every evening. She has just given birth in your roof. And if you seal that gap this weekend, her pup will die before it can fly. 🌿
The common pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) establishes its maternity colonies in roof spaces, behind fascia boards, under ridge tiles, and in wall crevices. She gives birth to a single pup each year, between late May and mid-July. The pup clings to its mother in the first weeks of life. It cannot move independently. You will not see her — she emerges around fifteen minutes after sunset and returns before dawn.
All bat species in the UK are protected under the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017 and the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. It is a criminal offence to deliberately disturb a bat roost, block access to one, or carry out building work that affects a roost without first obtaining a European Protected Species licence. This applies even when no bats are present at the time of the work.
What every homeowner should do:
Postpone any roof, loft, or sealant work until October — the maternity period runs from May to August, and young bats do not fly until late August.
Leave small gaps under ridge tiles, behind fascia boards, and in masonry — these are roost access points, not defects to be filled.
Turn outdoor lights downward or use motion-sensing lights — light pollution disrupts their hunting corridors.
Before any building work, contact the Bat Conservation Trust (https://t.co/iNymVT5pqh) or your county bat group. They can advise on timings and whether a licence is needed.
She asks very little. Just that the sealant gun waits until autumn. 🌱
