It’s always something...or someone: Manhunt for 'crossbow killer' after attack in Southburn, East Yorkshire

• Humberside Police have named the victim as 30-year-old Shane Gilmer, who lived in Southburn, a rural village near Driffield.Mr Gilmer and a woman were found injured at the property after officers were alerted to a disturbance at about 9.20pm on Friday. According to reports, a crossbow was used in the attack and the village is in "lockdown".

Did they manage to find the person?

Good afternoon Adam.
It is cold outside and my nose is running because I caught a little bit of a cold.
How are you today ?

Oh I hope you get better soon

 

[CarolM]

Hmm..... Adam seems to be gone .... hmmmm
So I take my runny nose outside in the cold to feed my sheep and chicken.

I just noticed it looks like your avatar has a runny nose as well.

I'm still working on getting out of bed lol

Are you out yet.

Only briefly gone reading what the experts said about Bea's fossil.
I'm a bit tired today for some reason, but quite happy thanks.
Put some peanuts up your nose.
This usually helps.
I expect.

I am curious anout what the other experts are saying about Bea's fossil. And were you correct?

 

[CarolM]

Yes, lots of water needed!
Bleuch!
I hate water.

Me too.

 

[CarolM]

Me too!

Hello guys, went thrift shopping yesterday for the first time and managed to get some pretty nice stuff!

Polo Jacket, Tommy Hilfiger sweater, Sonoma sweater, and a trench coat with the original tags still on it. All this for $12.

Wow.

Our walk in the sunshine was very nice. We went to a local country park. They have a new sign at the point where you have to decide which way round the lake to go (we went That Way)

The birds were singing loudly in the sunshine. We saw bullfinches like these... one of my favourite birds.

And we also saw this Peacock butterfly... rather unexpected on a winter’s day. I suspect the warmth brought it out of its overwintering spot, but fear it will not now make it to spring breeding.

Lol re "that way" looks like an awesome walk. The birds are really beautiful. And the butterfly is stunning. Sad about not making it to spring breeding.

Great pix...almost looks like SPRINGTIME.... sun is out here too! Any pints Real Ale or Yorkshire pudding?

...on a side note, I went to Post Reply...and hit the Tarantula Forum!

Did you by any chance see a wool spider there?

YES!!!! Adam was correct!!!! Several experts quickly and easily confirmed that it is genuine, and even identified the genus: Anosteira! They were a bit divided on the species, though. It most likely lived near the area of Guangdong, China but could have been wider spread, including what is currently the Gobi desert. The general agreement is that it's a nice specimen! But it is unstable: a bit crumbly and it tends to creak (which means one of the scutes is shifting, so likely to come loose or off). My next step will be to learn how to properly stabilize it. All VERY interesting and completely new to me!!!!!

Tomorrow I'm going to make that video of around here where I live. I would today but I'm just not feeling upto it.

What beautifil pictures. Looks like a really beautiful place to live.

 

[CarolM]

Thank you!!! [emoji2]
I posted it on the fossil forum, and several experts quite readily said it is genuine!!!!! [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]
NOW I need to stabilize it, because the scutes crumble a bit and it creaks when I pick it up-so parts of it are moving and unstable. I’ve got a steep learning curve, but it’s FUN as long as I don’t try to be a perfectionist!!!!!! [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]

Thats awesome.

That is awesome. And so interesting. Have fun on learning new things and good luck with it.
