Last year, at Brymbo Open Day, we heard about the sad unfathomable closure of a steelworks when everything was lost. And tonight, at SciBar, we heard about another earlier Brymbo with gigantic mosses & dragonflies. The best steel and the best fossils - & the hope of new life. TY Dr Tim Astrop!

Both!

And congratulations!

Just the cartoon, as far as I can see.

Uncanny, wouldn’t you agree @endofthepier.bsky.social?😁

Yoni Live Once on X: "A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has got us over £3k so far! The clinic just called to say their neuro-radiologist wants more pics of LSG’s head but thanks to you we’ve already covered scans. Please share and donate if you can. Thank you! https://t.co/DZlAgHDpFM" / X A huge and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has got us over £3k so far!

Not sure if this will work but here is a GoFundMe project to help a Chester man get essential surgery. Please chip in if you can.

My celebration of #WorldBookDay

Excellent talk to the @chesterarchsoc.bsky.social by @drtobydriver.bsky.social tonight. Brought those hillforts vividly to life. Can’t wait to read the book now, and maybe explore a few of them myself in the summer. Thank you, @drtobydriver.bsky.social

Every evening this week, we’ve been treated to a murmuration. This was Friday’s edition over Upton, Chester

Got more stuff done too.

Packed out hall tonight for a totally absorbing talk by Stewart Ainsworth on ‘Mapping the Past: From Ordnance Survey to Time Team’.
Stewart’s message was that archeology needn’t involve digging - which is excellent news as far as I’m concerned👍@HistArchChester

Eh, you lot! Food! Soon as you like. (@chesterzoo.bsky.social today)

There’s panels like this dotted all over the place in Chester - Booth’s Mansion, Brewery Tap, maybe Watergates, maybe the Boot, the Pied Bull, I think too.

Keep meaning to read this one - sounds pretty good.

Two archaeologists in hi vis clothing, crouching excavating in a pit stepped down to 3m below ground level. Small white flags mark the position of artefacts. Beyond is metal fencing and field of green maize leaves.

Playing live blues, funk and jazz in Jax, Northgate St. tonight.

Just me, a box of harmonicas and an ipad - singing and playing the blues.

Feel free to drop in after the processions.

Half eight out of the traps.
11pm curfew.

Very interesting! I’d no idea so much was linked to having Neanderthal genes.

😯 I hadn’t heard that! I had heard that It could indicate Viking lineage though.

Chester’s Saturnalia parade welcomes the Romans For Chester’s final festive parade on Thursday 12 December, Chester’s Deva Victrix 20th Legion take back control of their city as Chester Roman Tours celebrate Saturnalia

Hoping the ‘Lord of Misrule’ shows up at this event again tomorrow night, because I’d like to give him a few words regarding 2024.
