A seated couple statue, unfinished with chisel marks.

Check out this unfinished statue from the tomb of Tia. Chisel marks cover the surface. I absolutely love pieces like this that show the creation process. This would have become a a seated couple. #Archaeology #Egyptology

In the middle, a carved wooden Tarot card box sits, I’ve been using it as a phone stand. To the right of that is a carved trivet, an heirloom from my grandma, on top of which is my cup of coffee in a bright blue, orange and yellow mug. Behind the coffee is a hot pink plastic ‘keep cup’ full of water. In the left is a vintage ceramic pot with a green Phildendron. in the background is a vintage chair painted turquoise and behind that is a gigantic old TV which is too heavy for me to move - and thus it sits.

It’s my weekend. This is how ‘Sunday’ is shaping up

Tell me something magnificent

When I moved in nearly a year ago, there were NO birds . After much gardening and enticements, the birds have discovered the teeny tiny birdfeeder I got as a gift, and they have demolished the seed in a few days
I am beyond thrilled.

Papyrus plant segment found in Acrotiti, Thera, a Greek island, buried under the ash of a volcanic eruption that took place in the 17th century AC. Fine, vivid colors!

The real punk rock is kindness.

Be kind to someone today.

Being kind to people never means being a doormat or punching bag though.

At the left of the photo is a casement window. The top half is a deep golden yellow glass, the bottom is a purple mauve glass. At the right hand holds a small piece of lead light. The colours echo the window colors with some extra green. It is a stylised floral design.

I got this piece of lead light at an op shop probably 15 years ago and it’s been sitting in a box ever since. Today I unpacked it - and it’s like it was made to go with my kitchen casements

Most histories of hoodies go with 12th century monks as the originator, but I like to show my students this one from 5th-7th century Egypt.
