I love your photos of Wayland's Smithy in autumn. Such gorgeous colours!
You posted one on The Other Place a few years ago where you described it as looking like a Christmas wreath.

Where the veil between seasons and legends is thin. Wayland's Smithy is cradled by a blazing ring of fall foliage. The very definition of a timeless landscape. 🍁 #History #Mythology

Superb session presented by archivists managing the aftermath of the 2024 Valencia floods at #ICABarcelona2025

Without a doubt, one of the best sessions of the whole conference

Claudia: Athene, goddess of strategy, planning and the occasional defensive war. Could anyone look at her collection of knitwear and doubt her weaving skills? They could not. Plus, in series one she had an owl. The prosecution rests.

Welcome to #TraitorsGreekMyth Part 1!

Alan Carr: Odysseus. He could betray his closest friend without hesitation. He’s clever, plausible, entertaining and ruthless. His greatest liability? Running his mouth off and getting himself into trouble...

I bought one of those self-assembly bird tables a while back. The lazy bastards haven't even opened the box, all they've done is shit on it.

Soggy, autumnal 6k run for #UnconfinedWalks this morning. Plus spotted one of the new decorative benches that have been dotted around town - bonus fact in the alt text!

Feet in turquoise and blue trainers next to yellow, orange and red fallen leaves

A decorative wooden park bench. The back section has been carved and painted in tones of brown and red. I think the shapes are supposed to be a mix of seashells and fossils as a nod to the geology of the local area... we're on oolitic limestone, don'tcha know

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Exciting news! Our colleagues are looking to fund creative commissions inspired by papyrus fragments of two lost plays by Euripides, which were discovered by Egyptian archaeological team in 2024... are you an artist who likes to work with academic ideas? torch.ox.ac.uk/event/storie...
