People used to only really make desks and other furniture out of solid wood. Then they would polish that wood with beeswax polish to protect the wood and restore it's luster. Beeswax polish is made from beeswax and turpentine. Turpentine is made from the distilled sap of pine trees so contains lots of natural terpenes. The main turpenes in turpentine is α-Pinene and β-Pinene, α helps with short term memory, attention span, anxiety etc and β helps with mental clarity, focus, alertness and anxiety again. Nowadays your lucky to find a new desk that isnt made from plastic veneered chipboard while we wonder why people are overly anxious and no one has an attention span-yes, there are of course other reasons for this too but I dont think anyone really thinks about this at all.

Sparkly soil from the stone circle. Still not completely sure what's going on, but when you put UVA black light on large calcite crystals it produces a similar effect so it's likely micro and smaller sized sized crystals of calcite reflecting the UV light. So there is a small microbe disco party going on every morning in the soil 🕺.

Went to see a load of old rocks the other day. Some will bite you when your not looking so they need to be kept in a cage.

For @bohemia, still found a few around the place around despite the frosts. But some of these are more like perennial mushrooms like Ganoderma. The one growing in the gate is probably just a bit sheltered 😁
