BBC football fixture list for Saturday include an International friendly match. I've only ever come across this as a designation for a match between two national teams. My knowledge of world geography is pretty good, but this is the first I've heard of the nations of Burghausen and Unterhaching.

The eruption of Vesuvius in 79AD caused a group of painters/decorators to flee Pompeii, leaving behind their unfinished work & these paint pots & mixing bowls. Pigments shown here range from yellow (ochre) to blue (Egyptian Blue) to red (Haematite) www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a...

Not a bad view from the bottom of our garden (complete with Limousin cattle just in front of the trees in the far distance if one zooms in to the max). Sad to be about to leave it all behind to head back to the UK.
