Spotted this misleading bench today. I was sceptical. The use of the word “near” makes it technically correct, but Boudicca is said to have died on a different bit of Watling Street to where this bench is placed, about 60 miles south east of this location… And it was most likely AD60 or 61…

Christmas cake is finished. Just got to wait a few more days to eat it. Went square this year for a change…

This week I had a 2 1/2 hour meeting. I thought those days were over but apparently not. Hooray for Friday…

Given that a few of my friends have already got their Christmas decorations up, it must be time to open a Christmas beer.

Bit of culture tonight, nice cask pint followed by a film festival of short independent films.

In the “reducing the cost” session today, our group spoke of equipment sharing. A reminder for you all of the existence of Kit Catalogue. In March 2011, Loughborough University received JISC funding to develop an equipment database as an open source system. www.kit-catalogue.com #ALTc25

Last change of trains for my #ALTc25 journey. I’ve not been to Crewe since early 1992 but walking underneath the platforms brought back a vivid memory of that…
