One of the Binham Bracteates - a decorated gold disk worn as a pendant which was discovered as part of hoard in 2004 at Binham in Norfolk. Dating to 475–525, the pendant is part of the collections at Norwich Castle. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #NorwichCastle

The Norse goddess,Frigg, is believed to know the fate of all things, but is secretive about it. Herons are sacred to her, and their quiet, solitary nature in the water serves as a symbolic parallel to her reserved, silent knowledge.

Actually feel like something tried to beat me up in my sleep, woke up with a fucked up knee, stomach cramps & solar plexus feeling like it was punched and now a nosebleed.
Luckily I’m in a fab mood so more curious than anything else, but fuck man was trying to be a lover not a fighter right now! 🥴

For a chilly 🥶 #HillfortsWednesday I thought everyone could warm their toes on this Iron Age fire, crackling & smoking inside the Bryn Eryr roundhouse at St Fagans Museum yesterday 🥰🔥
Despite having only one fire this double roundhouse was warm & cosy, a pretty good place to live!

Yikes was not entirely expecting to start the day with a conversation that involved the line ‘yep spiritual fuckboys desperately trying to justify their ongoing unresolved madonna-whore complex’ but here we are. That was ..invigorating 😁😁

Haha yea. As I said on this.. I named my final MA dissertation ‘the draft to rule them all’. It was ‘final, no really, final’ version about fifteen I think 😁
People always ask me, “how do I know my manuscript is done?”
There’s only one way, my friends.
If your file name looks something like this:
Manuscript - Final Draft 3.7 FINAL FINAL - FINAL (5).docx
Then, and only then, is it time.

Some cake making I’ve been up to lately. This one is one I made for Samhain, a carrot cake with edible moss, roses, cauldron & figure made out of fondant. Never made anything like this before & it took HOURS over 2 days. I had a blister when I was finished on my foot! Loved every second 😍

Well, it finally happened…first time ever listening to The Emerald when I did not react well to a good deal of the episode. At all. probably not for some of the reasons others might feel challenged, but it was there. But then some days went by, and not a little crying & a whole ton of realisations
