This Sunday… – Kaushal Kishore

This Sunday…

Sunday’s gentle calm descends upon the day,

A time for rest, reflection, in a peaceful way…

The week’s demands now gently drift away,

As tranquil moments in stillness softly stay…

.

It’s a time when family and friends convene,

Sharing love, laughter, and moments serene…

Leisurely activities soothe the soul,

Recharging hearts, making spirits whole…

.

The musical rhythm of the rainy breeze,

Invites contemplation and quiet ease…

A day to unwind, recharge, and renew,

Preparing for the week’s challenges anew…

.

In serene moments of pure, joyful delight,

Sunday’s harmony glows with peaceful light…

Setting the tone for a fresh start’s grace,

A cherished day of calm, a peaceful space…

❤️💐🌞🌄🌹🍀🥀❤️

Let me share a joke to bring some joy to this Sunday.

A lady professor was invited to give a lecture, and she chose to speak about polygamy. She discussed the benefits of polygamy and why women should embrace it and support their husbands in achieving it. As she continued to emphasise this topic, a woman in the audience raised her hand, stood up, and introduced herself before speaking.

Woman: “Professor, I really appreciate this topic and your liberal attitude, because it has alleviated my fears. I never knew you were so simple and understanding. Your message has given me the courage to open up to you.”

She cleared her throat and continued, “I have been married to your husband for the past four years, and we have a set of twins together.”

To everyone’s surprise in the lecture hall, the professor fainted and was rushed to a nearby hospital.

After she was revived, she opened her eyes to see the same woman standing by her bedside.

She softly whispered, “Professor, I don’t know who your husband is. I just lied to see if you could handle what you preach to others.”

😂😜😂😜😂😂😂😂

Here’s a short one to end with:

Wife: “I am upset with you.”

Husband: “Oh, why, darling?”

Wife: “I won’t tell you; you should know.”

Husband: “If something I said can be interpreted in two ways and one of those ways has upset you, then I meant the other one.”

Wife: “Okay, then it’s fine.”

😂😜😂😜😂😂😂😂

I’m enjoying the musical, rhythmic beats of the rain with chai and pakoda. I hope you have a wonderful Sunday too.❤️🌄❤️

Early August Sunday Musings | beetleypete

Obviously, the weather is going to feature today, as we are on the tail end of an official heatwave. Until yesterday afternoon, we enjoyed hot and sunny days with blue skies and unusually warm temperatures for July. It got to 29C (84F) here in Beetley one day, and felt hotter in the direct sun. I’m not complaining, after so many months of miserable weather that preceded it. However, some nights it didn’t drop below 20C, making sleep difficult, even with fans running. So despite being able to get out and about and enjoy some Summer, I don’t think I have had a decent night’s sleep and have been very tired during the day. Today it is just 18C so far, cloudy with drizzly rain. Still feels very humid though.

My new T-shirt arrived. The motto is just perfect for me.

“La gente pensó que era el fin del mundo”: las víctimas olvidadas de la explosión en la prueba de la primera bomba atómica en Nuevo México – Stigmatis

Poco después de que el secreto Proyecto Manhattan realizara la detonación del primer prototipo de bomba atómica en julio de 1945, suceso revivido ahora por la aclamada película “Oppenheimer”, unos tanques Sherman se adentraron en el lugar de la explosión.

En esos vehículos militares de metal grueso, como los que estaban siendo usados al mismo tiempo en Europa durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, iban personas con trajes de protección para verificar qué había pasado en el terreno y tomar muestras.

Esto sucedía en un punto en el desierto de Nuevo México llamado Jornada del Muerto, en el que el prototipo de bomba, llamado The Gadget, había causado una de las explosiones más grandes de la historia de la humanidad.

El éxito llevó a que días después, en agosto, Estados Unidos lanzara dos bombas atómicas sobre las ciudades japonesas de Hiroshima y Nagasaki poniendo así fin a la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Los cálculos más conservadores estiman que para diciembre de 1945 unas 110.000 personas habían muerto en ambas ciudades…

El calentamiento global está descongelando virus prehistóricos – Stigmatis

Un equipo franco-ruso analiza desde hace una década las cepas víricas que emergen de su letargo al producirse el deshielo del permafrost en diversas regiones siberianas: el riesgo para la salud humana es muy bajo pero la amenaza está ahí.

El aumento de la temperatura global del planeta debido al cambio climático está ocasionando el deshielo del permafrost, capa de subsuelo terrestre congelada hace miles de años y que contiene, entre otro tipo de materias, virus congelados desde tiempos prehistóricosUn equipo científico franco-ruso ha descubierto varias cepas de estos virus desde 2014 analizando qué riesgo existe para los humanos si son reactivados…
