Was der Bauer nicht kennt, liest er nicht 😉

Had to queue outside my local record shop for nearly an hour to get my hands on this limited #RSD2026 release! Can’t wait to give it a spin! 🎸🇮🇪

I recently experienced the same with a famous medievalist blog (popular on BSky!) that basically copied and pasted a lot of one of my articles…

I saw that very advert just a few weeks ago and have been ranting to friends about it ever since. Glad it’s gone!

Prüm-time comedy!

Aiming for 200%, are they?

I can (re)imagine this 😏

Sint-Nicolaaskapel, Nijmegen, probably built around 1000 on the site of the Carolingian palace and inspired by the palatial chapel in Aachen. One of the Netherlands’ oldest extant buildings. Very cool!

Oh no! Legend is such a fantastic record!

Nice paw-laeography… (I’ll see myself out!)

Byzantine church crawling in the backstreets of central Athens—an appropriate pastime for Holy Saturday! Καλή Ανάσταση!

I’ve been to a fair few national libraries, but the National Library of Greece (Εθνική Βιβλιοθήκη της Ελλάδος) truly is something else! Architecturally stunning and designed with meticulous attention to detail. A masterpiece!

The Byzantine double church of SS Nicholas and Spyridon in Davelis Cave (Σπηλιά Νταβέλη), hewn into the marble-rich mountainside between the 10th and 12th century, with 13th-century wall paintings. What an amazing site!

The Byzantine monastery of Daphni (Δαφνί), founded in the late 6th and rebuilt in the 11th century, complete with a scriptorium, library room, early Komnenian mosaics, and antique spolia going back to the 4th century BC.

The Byzantine mountainside monastery of Kaisariani (Μονή Καισαριανής), founded around 1100 and eventually closed in 1833, with the largely original church (καθολικόν), the monks‘ cells, the refectory, and an olive press—the latter now home to thousands of wild bees, as I discovered to my surprise!

You call it a manuscript reading room, I call it a BOOK CASTLE!

Reminds me of the Medieval Latin proverb: Claustrum sine armario est quasi castrum sine armamentario! #bookhistory #medievalsky

Tomorrow! Still some space to register for anyone around in London.

Donald Trump post threatening Iran, saying “a whole civilisation will die tonight.”

After Trump's latest shocking threats, Keir Starmer faces a choice.

Withdraw US access now to UK air bases, or risk letting British soil be used to commit war crimes.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.

The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him.

Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

Unexpectedly got my hands on some fresh yeast and Finocchiona today, so this seemed like the right course of action…
