Today is the 145th deathday of Rufus the guinea pig, one of Anna Kingsford's animal companions. In my thesis, I argue that her grief over his death contributed to her growing turn towards an esoteric mysticism and her belief in the immortality of animal souls.

Fig. 1 illustrates a novel approach to research supervision focussed on practical space-based methodologies in history, drawing on insights from peripatetic philosophy.

Good find this morning in Bakewell at Hawkridge Books. It's funny, the owner said, sometimes you have books for years and sometimes you only have them for a week. He had only had this one for a week. I told him I was writing about Carpenter in my PhD. Best of luck, he said.
