Accidentally neepless through my own poor planning, I’m fully in on the mash ‘n’ haggis.

Going through some old photos from the archives today. I am grateful to Past Me who developed a system of hand signals to mark photos during research trips.

thumbs up means "this is important"

pointing finger means "notable/quotable detail"

palm up means "WTF"
