If you're at Rye Harbour Nature Reserve this autumn, have a look for our five new visitors 👀 Huge thanks to local artist Beverley Drury for the sculptures, each of which has been made from a mix of new and up-cycled materials 🐦 #Sculpture #WildlifeArt 📷© Gesine Garz
Sunday. Update: 10 hours in bed and I still feel washed out. Trix in attendance.
Trix wishes everyone a very happy #Caturday, and the kind of deep contentment that comes only from the bliss of a warm lap after a week spent in a cattery.
On learning that I may have Covid, OH has rediscovered the art of washing up. I may feign illness for the next month.
Three thousand years ago, a Greek potter looked at a bowl and thought: ‘You know what this needs? A leg!’ Clay bowl with leg-shaped handle!🦵😆 Early Geometric period 850 BC. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology
On the last w/end of our holiday, I came down with the sniffles. Didn't get in the way of enjoying things but I felt a bit 'off'. I put down my subsequent tiredness to travel/ a busy week. But a pal on the trip just tested pos+ for you-know-what and I now fear I have passed on the dreaded C to fam.☹️
Trix is home and has smelled all the new scents in the garden, checked every stick of furniture, and chosen my lap to settle on for sleep. We are forgiven.
Farewell*, land of Alexander. Home again. 😔 * waves, praying mantis-style
Even more quality C6th *BC* bits and bobs.
Julia 🐈⬛@juliaann.bsky.social · last wk.Spectacular bits and bobs at Pella.
Just the small matter of an entire Roman road in the way of building the metro.
Hellenistic and Roman remains, Pella. Very clever arrangement of baths next to the pottery workshops and kilns : you get your hot water free!
Just a nudge to let you know my gold stars are back in stock … link here claremaryangreen.co.uk/products/vin...
Day 5 - the Macedonian hills. Greek orthodox churches and a monastery, followed by the return trip to Thessaloniki and some retail therapy. Two Greek kitties for the price of one : Caturday bonus feline.
