I usually remove the sound is awful but I forgot on this occasion.

It’s just wind etc. the traffic is quite a way away and there wasn’t much of it when we visited. The microphone on my phone multiplies any noise a hundredfold. It’s awful.

It’s been really difficult to be honest. A real struggle! 😆

Anyone is free to use whatever recognised dating terms they like and CE is a recognised dating term. It’s just my personal preference...The same as you have your preference. Any dating term is fine by me, as long as it tells me when something occurred or when something was created.

🏛️ Beautiful mosaic floor of the Roman baths at the Sanctuary of Poseidon, Isthmia, Greece. The baths were built ca 150 CE and were used by the athletes who performed in the Isthmian Games. The mosaic depicts Triton and sea creatures. Video filmed a couple of days ago.

Children loved to play with toys in #Roman times too: some 1,800 years ago, a child in Cologne was buried with a terracotta horse with a rider on wheels. It was certainly a much-loved which the child was also supposed to play with in the afterlife.

The picture shows a terracotta horse with a rider on four wheels.

Haha! It was the first thing that sprung to mind. Mother-in-law jokes are as old as time.
