Nothing like getting out of the office to go see archaeologists excavating interesting sites. Found a quiet spot with a great view for lunch

I'll do that tomorrow. I've got a meeting in the afternoon and may need a follow up in Edinburgh.

So it's true that my book on Roman London is on sale at St Paul's Cathedral! Pretty gobsmacked. Thanks to @petesavin.bsky.social for noticing

I once organised a conference during the week for this very reason and got criticism for not doing it at the weekend! 🀯 academics can often be their own worst enemy

Collies are such good companions. Archie loves exploring old sites

Sort of. Looks like her in Dundee but she was never rigged so this is either someone who doesn't know her or done post-68 when there was some thought as to rigging her

Had a bit of a posh Asian-inspired dinner tonight. Philippine pork sigsig followed by chilli beef with jasmine rice and an Asian salad and finished with banana fritters. All washed down with a lovely Mosul valley white. Will be on such a diet after this trip.
