I love my Island of Strangers. Strangers care for my mother. Strangers taught my children. Strangers cured my cancer. A Stranger shares my bed. Strangers show me a better world. Because of them, our lives are richer and more vivid. What kind of impoverished and tiny spirit wants to keep them out?

I don't know, but possibly a keyhole cover to be attached to an escutcheon (keyhole surround plate)?

Had the most thrilling encounter yesterday. I spent 40 minutes following this otter up and down the river in Wyndham park, Grantham

All the best, Ulla. We are all poorer for Phil's death. And it's hard when people are mourning the loss of public figures, and forgetting that your life is changed forever by a personal one, x

Gosh. Hadn't thought this. I like them - creative and funny, though the pollution aspect is something to think about. Also, I'm disturbed that some of the responses seem to be saying that the expressions of middle class women of a certain age are not as authentic or valid as urban youth.

Druid's Temple, near Masham, Yorkshire, is one of my favourite places. Constructed around 1800, a product of the vogue for all things 'druidic', it is full of its own idiosyncratic symbolism

Very proud of my PhD student @jrosantos.bsky.social who has published a brilliant paper on the archaeology of loneliness in the Journal of Social Archaeology. All the lonely people: where do they all come from? journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

YES! I bought a slanket ( electric blanket with sleeves) last year, and it is life-changing. But never let any potential or actual romantic partner see you in it

Really excellent, considered guide to this issue.
I am esp interested in mental health contexts, re: legitimate concerns over Canada situation, but also the striking benefit that simply having access to AD can have for terminally ill people, apparently acting as a form of palliative relief.
