Today is my 'Mega Monday' - five hours teaching with three dashes from the top to the bottom of the campus hill scattered in between. Tudor National Identity, cheap print, and an EEBO workshop.

'Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage...'

Puffing my ches out after completing my cycle in despite the dark, cold, lashing rain and high winds.

Sun's out now, naturally

The cover of Dominie Hooper's debut album, In This Body Lives. It shows the artist stanging knee high in bracken, agaisnt a dark sky, with a gauzy light fabric? Smoke? floating above her head.

A classic Devon weekend: Friday talk in ancient stannary town Tavistock to the Devonshire Association; following by an outstanding Saturday gig by Chagford's own Dominie Hooper at the brillant community pub The Drewe Arms. Very special songwriting and absolutely electrifying live.

'In this magnificent book, the first scholarly biography of Holbein in more than 100 years, art historian Elizabeth Goldring characterises the Cleves affair as a “debacle” but...points out that it was a rare misstep for Holbein, whose portraits...struck contemporaries as uncannily lifelike.'

Sunrise on Exeter canal, dark buildings and shapes of boats are silohetted against a yellow and light blue sky with little fluffy clouds in pink and grey. The colourful sky is reflected in the very still water below.

From on this day last year - Exeter uni

A view from a second floor window over Exeter university campus - a light layer of snow covers the ground making it look lovely, some pine trees on the left and right provide dark contrast.

View across a valley to a line of trees. It is snowing heavily and the scene looks blurry as a result.

A red brick building with horizontal lines of windows in the snow.

A road with parked cars covered in snow.

cold snap in Devon this time last year as well
