Spent yesterday at Boroondara Cemetery in Kew, Victoria. One of the nicest garden cemeteries I've come across in Australia. The volunteers there do an enormous job keeping it all from being swallowed up by the greenery.

I'm putting this out for any Jews who feel like they don't want to criticize another denomination.
This is bullshit. There is no religious reason to bar suicides from our cemeteries. Not facilitating funerals is your choice, of course, but it's cruel to the living. What's next? Shrimp and tattoos? Meh.
"A landmark letter on #MAID, approved recently by #Toronto’s main #Orthodox #rabbinical council—also called the #VaadHaRabbanim—is sounding the alarm about what the group notes is the increasing prevalence of medically assisted death making “inroads” into the local #Jewish community. Citing the figure of 5,000 patients in #Ontario in 2023 who the council describes as being “#euthanized by medical practitioners”, the leading rabbis said they need to take steps to “curb this disturbing trend”: going forward, they will not officiate at the #funerals of MAID patients and will refuse to permit MAID patients to be buried in plots in their #synagogues’ #cemetery sections."

Kerameikos Cemetery
Al PurdySo old that only traces of death remain
for death is broken with the broken stones
as if convivial party-goers came
and talked so long to friends they stayed
to hear the night birds call their children homeAll over Athens rooster voices wake
the past converses with itself and time
is like a plough that turns up yesterday
I move and all around —: the marketplace
where something tugs my sleeves as I go by -

Spotted this headstone at the old cemetery in Reykjavik last year. Love how the moss has become a decorative element on it.
There's an information board at the cemetery stating that they have some rare moss species growing there. I wish I could tell which ones.

It Worked! (t)
Suzie and Lyle downloaded a bunch of free witch spells from the internet. They had tried about six of them with minimal success. The seventh spell, Heads Off, was a different story, which, unfortunately, neither Suzie nor Lyle will be able to tell.

After my film, I cut through the old boneyard of Saint Cuthbert's to have a look & take pics at the festive fair & market in the nearby Princes Street Gardens.
I lasted twenty minutes before it annoyed the smeg out of me. Too loud, far too busy. I think I preferred the old bone orchard! Tombs with a Castle view!

Golden, winter light and shadows, in the old bone orchard today.

Belated #3GoodThings
- started a #WikiTree profile for #48er Herman Kiefer, who had the wrong mother stated in most biographies https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Grether-122
- finally got up my butt to photograph the entire #cemetery in #StMärgen, after wanting to do it for three years already, and really found the grave of relatives (I hoped it might still exist)
- got to rescue a bird from a well at the cemetery (see previous toots) - I guess, I was meant to go there exactly yesterday -

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

It's like something out of a computer game! Actually in #Edinburgh.
What game would you associate it with? I was thinking Uncharted 4.

Dad and I went over to wee cafe at Campsie Glen, so I also had wander around ruins of Saint Machan's Kirkyard. Probably dating from 1200s, abandoned in 1828 for a new kirk, nestled at foot of the Campsie Hills.
