Carnac Musée de Préhistoire: Museum in the centre of Carnac town, with large collections of items from the prehistoric to the middle ages. One of the most important museums in France, and perhaps the most important in the world for megalithic items.
It's a mighty view, full of all that is best of the Llyn
Last week I was lucky a venue I wanted to visit was closed - I ended up here instead. Yes, it's a lovely view of Porth Neigwl, Hell's Mouth, North Wales, but watch as the cottage is revealed - you are seeing where poet @rsthomaspoet.bsky.social & his artist wife Elsi Eldridge lived in retirement.
In-person seminar by my old colleague and top bloke, Dr Carl Savage. This will be a fascinating talk if you're in the Perth, Scotland area on the 20th May.
Currently having the joy of supporting an UG landscape GIS dissertation where through a couple of opportune discussions and a holistic open approach the outcome is 10x better than the original idea. I've done no hard lifting but support and discussion has meant a much better understanding.
Mark is such a generous teacher and collaborator, my career (or what I call the random choices that got me to today) were enriched more than I realised at the time by his support
Each year we offer a list of dissertation projects (both undergrad and postgrad) tied to active research that we'd like to supervise & these are almost never taken up. I try to communicate to students that integrating into an existing research project often leads to better opportunities, but alas.

The landscapes of Wales are filled with beautiful, strange and storied sites. 'Llyn yn Fan Fach', the lake beneath the little mountain, is amongst my favourites.
Its legend is one of the oldest 'Lady of the Lake tales', with a beautiful and mysterious woman rising from its waters!

The River Teme, which flows through Ludlow and Tenbury Wells before joining the River Severn in Worcester, is one of the region’s most important rivers.
A Douglas Percy Bliss depiction of railway bridges at Blackheath. In the foreground, a red brick three arch bridge flanked by grassy banks and trees, in the midground, the same again. On the horizon a church spire and a church tower. It's cloudy, but the sunlight is strong. Railway Bridges at Blackheath', Douglas Percy Bliss, oil on canvas, c.1932. Have a brilliant day.
Good morning - I hope you slept like a bird's-foot-trefoil-stuffed dingy skipper - I'm starting with 'Railway Bridges at Blackheath', Douglas Percy Bliss, oil on canvas, c.1932.
Have a brilliant day.
Goodnight hookland, may sleep be restorative
Sir Ed, Why won't anyone say the quiet bit out loud, what made Mandleson the best possible choice for UK ambassador: it was exactly what brought him down, Epstein and the access that gave him to Trump and the Whitehouse, it is this diplomatic access we lost when he resigned/ was fired.
A walk in the woods - follow me along a sunlit path through the bluebells at Chempshill Coppice, Worfield. #Shropshire
Oh my, that SW tip of the county is so confusing
I think the Clun / Kington elephants were later @shroppiemon.bsky.social will know

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying
Photo of yellow crepuscular rays stretching down onto a puddle of yellow light on dark blue sea in front of the outline of a small humped island silhouetted against an orange stripe of sunset sky. In the foreground, bare trees are silhouetted against those pastel blue sea nearer the shore.
Sunset over Ynys Enlli / Bardsey Island just now.
The Fraud's Prayer:
Our Father, who art in the White House,
hallowed be thy combover;
thy blingdom come;
thy will be dumb;
In Washington as you are in Florida.
Give us this day our daily round of golf.
And forgive us our insider trading,
as we refuse to forgive those who investigate against us...

A comic strip showing the “Omino coi baffi” (little guy with a mustache) making coffee in a moka pot
In 1953, cartoonist and animator Paul Campani invented the iconic “Omino coi baffi” (little guy with a mustache) for the equally iconic Bialetti Moka pot. The character is a caricature of Renato Bialetti, son of founder Alfredo Bialetti
Leaves and flowers are also yummy, full of peppery flavour
A must-see at March Library

Cycled into Keswick this morning so I called in at Derwentwater to see the reflections.

They're coming fast and furious. Here's another. Recording mentioned, but detecting at the corner of graveyards is never a good idea. Too many potentials to disturb human remains.

Of course the tree is a dare for local children. Can you walk it to the end and throw a stone into the pool? The fear comes not from falling off as such, but the fear of falling off into waters that are home to Stay Belows. After all, they are so hungry in mating season. – Joanna Vickers, 1982 #VOH
