The Rover and Winter Camp
Backtracking continues for now - I thought I’d started a post about two 17th century-related events from July and early August, but I can’t find the wip file now *sadface*. Starting from scratch instead ( Read more... ) -
Pompeii and the Roman Navy
Almost the end of August and the first signs of spring have arrived. On Saturday we shook off the drab days and the banal stupidity of current events with a trip to the ANMM at Darling Harbour for the "Escape from Pompeii" exhibition. It was small but interesting, although the title was a little misleading. The conceit was that it was all about ( Read more... ) -
An Antipodean tradition: being interested in Other Countries’ Elections
It was all very exciting until the Guardian switched the DUP numbers from Opposition to the Conservative side, and then I remembered Sinn Fein hasn’t gone to Westminster since (looked it up) 1917.

Unnamed, so if you would like to try guessing the titles/authors ( Read more... ) -

I was looking for pictures of either of the Lads taking notes, after byslantedlight commented on the one of Bodie in Backtrack. I didn't get very far, but I did find this (thanks to Lisa's Frame Capture Library for the pic). It's the scene from KWALA where Bodie appears with a towel on his head, looking nicely refreshed, and Doyle tells him they have thousands ( Read more... ) -
Pros Every Day for a Week - Day 2/7 - Writing Meme: 7-7-7
We're hosting a Working Bee tomorrow and I had dreams last night about trying to buy sausages for forty people. Hah! If more than four turn up I will be marvellously happy ( Read more... ) -
Not the post you're looking for (Star Wars Ep VII)
Basically this is my "I saw it when on holiday and if I don't talk about it now I never will" post.
I think I can say, unspoilery-like, that the original cast are ALL totally watchable in this.
