  1. A Chinese blogger shares that magpies or swallows nesting in homes are seen as signs of good luck, wealth, and family harmony in traditional folklore. Scientifically, it may simply mean the environment is clean and quiet. Yet many still cherish the cultural symbolism of joy and prosperity. 🐦🏠✨

  2. A quotation from Samuel Johnson

    Pleasure is very seldom found where it is sought. Our brightest blazes of gladness are commonly kindled by unexpected sparks. The flowers which scatter their odours from time to time in the paths of life, grow up without culture from seeds scattered by chance.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1759-05-26), The Idler, No. 58

  6. I had been looking for a 4-leaf clover my whole life... and finally found my first last month.

    Then I found my second yesterday.

    My 5-year-old remarked: "I will find a 5-leaf and a 6-leaf clover." I replied to her: "I don't think they exist, I never heard of them."

    Today, in my late grandparents' garden I found a 5-leaf clover. I am simply speechless...

  11. A quotation from Gracián

    The intensity of the favour of fortune is often balanced by the shortness of its duration, for fortune gets tired of carrying any one very long upon her shoulders.
     
    [Recompénsase tal vez la brevedad de la duración con la intensión del favor. Cánsase la fortuna de llevar a uno a cuestas tan a la larga.]

    Baltasar Gracián y Morales (1601-1658) Spanish Jesuit priest, writer, philosopher
    The Art of Worldly Wisdom [Oráculo Manual y Arte de Prudencia], § 38 (1647) [tr. Duff (1877)]

  20. A ladybird beetle for big luck

    This large ladybird beetle was a visitor next to me enjoying morning coffee. A forecast of a lucky day. Heading out to visit the Angkor Archaeological Park is always a happy experience.

    TM: Biodiversity
    There are 15 registered variants of Ladybug or Ladybird beetles in Cambodia. Probably there are many more.

    When it comes to biodiversity, Cambodia is a well known hotspot in SEA.

  28. Thing about living in midtown Manhattan is everything's picked over. You can try to buy a belt, yeah, but all that's left are sizes 28 and 52. You can shop for soap, but they only have liquid, or a ten-pack of that bar soap you don't like.
    EDIT - Surely the same's true in the other four bouroughs... [sorry to call you Shirley]

  32. Dear Kristi Noem: you’re tracking down ICE critics?

    Ok, just a view from someone who spent some years in the US and married an American, but I fear you’re on to a hiding here. They don’t care, the Supreme Court doesn’t (and a combination of miscalculations by Obama and Ruth’s mistaken belief she would live forever as a judge ensured partisan dominance). But I wish you luck for all our sakes.
