Which is an old golfing retort of mine

We all do now

Grimly windy now so I think I'll snuggle up in bed with my cheap Odyssey

Or 99p on amazon.co.uk too.

No wonder really.

Oh, that's lovely stuff. Looks so bright when it's freshly cut. Multangular tower is also built of it - that and the Minster must have looked so imposing when new. I mean, they are pretty imposing now but we're more used to that stuff

Is that the limestone local to Taddy?

Sigh. More interesting things to get utterly distracted by. I'll just get myself a coffee before perusing

On it. Thanks for pointing out another website of absolute wormholery

On the road in the Western Roman Empire, by Prof. Tony King Tony King takes a look at some of the settlements that developed along Roman roads from Italy, through Gaul, and finally to Britain.

It's our last talk of the season this coming Thursday (March 26) evening. We've now caught up a bit so all the previous talks are available on YouTbe as well.

Chuck Norris and Jenni Murray. There's a combination

Yes, wet and wild when I went.

Yet I have been in the local area in lovely weather, just not at the Hermitage

It's ace, isn't it? But slightly unreal.

Phew. It's odd to think how different those two occurrences are, and yet how potentially devastating.

I am always tempted by books. It's one of my downfalls. Or a delightful characteristic. I'm not sure

These look fab 😍However, I must not buy any more books. No, I really mustn't.

They need a good home - who will be that person?

Not always. I once chased a click round a bike and it was the chain link that had worn. To be fair, there was actually a lot clicking and creaking on that particular bike.

May you have a random click that could be a pedal, might be your BB, possibly something to do with your chain, but is also intermittent so is doubly hard to track down.

What a good way to celebrate

Roman Roads Research Association Welcome to the Roman Roads Research Association's You Tube Channel. The Roman Roads Research Association is the only organization in the world devoted to the study of Roman roads, not just in Britain...

If you've ever missed any of our talks, most of them are on our YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@romanroadsr...
Many points of discussion included. Such as what are the state of Mike Haken's curtains? That's a timeless classic.

Ah, yes, same chap who chatted to us a few weeks ago. Very interesting indeed

Double digging is quite a bastard as far as I'm concerned

I think we had it covered (sort of ) with fantasy. Much fantasy

I'm intrigued. Is that body paint designed to look like armour? Or armour designed to look like abs of steel?

I think I was supposed to be vacuuming the stairs

Nosying at maps, as one does, before this evening's talk around Bicester. It's not an area I know at all, so I've been sucked into all sorts of connected wormholes of military railways, DMVs (do we still call them that?), roads of all ages, just all sorts of interesting stuff

RR160 runs (partly) between Bicester and Towcester. A finer example of 'names utterly confusing unless you've heard them pronounced by a local' I can't think of.

Conquest and Change in the Hinterland of Roman Alchester, by Becky Haslam Becky Haslam will talk about AOC's excavations that revealed the development of the hinterland of the Roman town of Alchester

Next talk, the one that was postponed, is now tomorrow (Thu 26th Feb) evening. Tix: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/conquest-a...

Apparently it was 'unforeseen circumstances' that caused its postponement rather than any of the splendidly creative reasons you came up with. Shame but looks like a good talk

I'm sure I've heard that line somewhere before

Good answer. Pretty much covers it. 'Let's have it this wide.' 'Naw, needs to be narrower than that mate.' 'What are we building it of? 'Where do you want these forts/towers putting?'

Which are all reasons it's such as fascinating thing.
