My pet hate (one amongst soo many) is 'back in the day'. Hear it more and more. As if that day was some golden age and it was good enough for us. The least I demand is a footnote telling me when exactly that day was.

Just been east of the M40. OMG. That’s a hard drive. 😩 Coming back different way to avoid M1 and HS2 works north of Leamington. Never been so glad to see signs for Oxford. In familiar territory at last at Cherwell Valley Services.😊

Photo looking through very dirty window panes towards eighteenth century buildings on the market square at Olney in Buckinghamshire.
Watching sun rise over Cowper & Newton Museum in Olney through very dirty windows of my hotel. Not been on research trip for aeons. I have overpacked. And there are stairs. Steep stairs.

Linguists and Arms and Armour specialists: can I ask your advice? This is an object in the Aberystwyth School of Art museum collection; a clasp knife of 412mm when opened. Made of bone (ivory?) and an unidentified metal. Does anyone out there recognise the script? We know next to nothing!

Gah. At my sister’s this summer neighbour lit fire pit and god knows what he was burning but her house filled with acrid smoke which took hours to clear.☹️
