Pearls

Not a giant clam but some kind of very big fungus (that thing must weigh several kilos!) growing on a plum tree.

I had bad dreams tonight.
In my first dream I got my first tick bite ever and had to pull it out.
In the second, a new world war started and we were in the middle of it. It seemed so real - but I have no clue what it must feel like to be in a real war, and I very much hope that never in my life I will get to know. Nobody ever should.
