Those mushrooms really do look like little people, especially from the angle of the first shot.
The story about the palace guard was on our news. How embarrassing for him!
The story about the guy with the colander is funny, but a bit creepy...or at least the look in his eyes is. I'm not sure I'd want to be in the same subway car with him.
Oh man, a confused driver sounds like a nightmare
I feel bad for the guard. What an embarrassment!
That poor guard! How embarrassing for him, but really, really funny for us! :)
Hi Tracy,
Given my own Mailbox Monday feature about the 'Faerie Tree', I was intrigued that two of your stories featured events slightly related - The Magical Mushrooms and the 'Fairy Circles'.
I loved the Disney connection used to illustrate the full potential of the mushrooms, although I have to admit to checking the date on the newspaper, just to make sure you hadn't dug out an old copy from Apil 1st!!
It was also interesting that both of these 'mystical' stories had been covered by the Express, although that's probably nothing to do with myth and folklore .. LOL.
Thanks for sharing your excellent selection and have a good week :)
Yvonne
I too feel really sorry for the guard. Ouch! maybe this is a story that the media would have done better not to report.
Those mushrooms appear like tiny humans indeed.
and the poor soldier.It would have been a great embarrassment for him
Oh no the poor guard, that's awful!
I really don't know what to say about the pastafarian...!
How embarrassing for that palace guard!
I found the article about skin cells and fairy circles really interesting.
Thank you for sharing!
