Cardiff's planned 50-floor tower to be tallest building in Wales The tower would host 500 apartments, meeting rooms, an atrium, a bike hub and cafe.

Some people will do anything for a view of the bowls club.

Interesting gathering of new troops at the Roman Legionary Museum in Caerleon today. Should we be worried?

We took it to Colchester a few weeks ago and trooped around the Museum gift shop using it to work out where events happened! (And also complaining about lack of Boudicca souvenirs.)

Its a classic East / West split.

In the East we have The Chartists seeking revol from inside, whilst in the West the ghost of Rebecca stirs ...

Where will it end? Certainly not on the field of play!

Oh the Lions squad is being named today for the Swelling Aussie Coffers Tou.

Frankly, if Liam Belcher isn't named AND named as Captain it is doomed adventure. Notwithstanding, the 27hr Sky fly-on-the-wall / access-most-areas super slo-mo documentary, "Residing with a Roar", will be somewhat duller.

Absolute scenes at CAP. A crowd of nearly 12,000 and a gutsy performance to secure the BP win. Top 8 still not secure, but this was one of those great nights when you remember why you love the game as much as you ever have.

RECREATED: Assyrian Bronze Age Cake
YouTube video by Table of Gods RECREATED: Assyrian Bronze Age Cake

If you don't already have this channel on your radar, it's fascinating and fun! Arim, who is Assyrian, recreates recipes from cuneiform tablets.

Here, he makes an ancient Assyrian cake with the help of a scholar, food scientist, and baker. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qdps...

Ken Follett and… Stonehenge You may have heard that Ken Follett’s next novel is about Stonehenge. When a writer of Follett’s profile and reach tackles this subject, we have to take notice: he claims to have sold 195 million c…

Did you know that Ken Follett’s next book is about #Stonehenge? And that it was inspired by How to Build Stonehenge? I’ve blogged about it below, and the ideas behind 2 Stonehenge novels written by best-selling authors. Circle of Days is out in September.

It wasn't pretty, it had had bags of calon, four points were earned, a job done.

Wales is the land of song. Now it’s being silenced by cuts that threaten our culture | Will Hayward Language, history and arts are what make us a nation – and they’re at risk when funding is slashed to levels among the lowest in Europe, says Guardian columnist Will Hayward

'When you erode Welsh culture you erode Wales. The arts are not a β€œnice to have”; they are vital. Urgent change is needed or else the land of song risks being finally silenced.'

First we saw Lampeter gutted & now the humanities at Cardiff. The Archaeology department was my undergrad Alma Mater & I've always been so proud of that and every opportunity they gave me. Solidarity with them & their colleagues as they face what's coming from above.

I just finished reading an advanced copy of your book and LOVED it. It inspired me to visit the British Museum just to see some cuneiform!

A very Happy New Year from everyone here at CF10 Towers to you and yours!

It's game day, and despite our western neighbours bringing their weather with them, let's hope its a fantastic game at a sold-out CAP!
