Here

Lately this is mostly a feed of no, I have had it with feeds, let’s make this site actually have the things I get up to, and find interesting, amusing or timewasting in other places.

There

You can find me on goodreads, flickr, twitter, facebook, ravelry and pinterest among others, but I’m more at home here in my own space than in those other places.

Quick Clips

See saws on the US-Mexico border. 20210114

Simulated Traffic Junctions, trying to keep traffic flowing is hard! 20210108

Reading about Japanese manhole covers and needed to go looking for pictures. 20210107

It took me a while to work out what the problem with this Tripod coin was! (I was thinking of John Christopher tbh.) 20210107

Sillitoe Tartans and Battenberg Markings 20201225

“a book which began as a scourge of the establishment had become, in the end, a totem of national pride.” – it’s fascinating how culture spins like this. 20201221

“Humanity’s history is a continuous battle between us and the microbes.” 20201217

Crochet postbox toppers! Fab. (Apart from the bit where they recognise it as crochet, then call the creator a “knitter” ?) 20201213

Maps of alternate histories. I want to explore them all! 20201212

Good news for future pandemics, I hope. Though I agree this will all be forgotten too soon and the funding will dry up. 20201208

I’m not right convinced that those are my top 9 I’m not right convinced that those are my top 9 Instagram posts of 2020 but they do cover what might be my top three things of 2020 in no particular order: 1. Knitting my mystery blanket (which is now almost finished), B. Riding my bike, iii. My family and friends (embracing being sensible & staying safe at home). I think we’re all ready for 2021 to come at us, hopefully with actual hugs involved 🤗 #bestnine #happynewyear (I’m hoping the comment about hugs doesn’t look as weird this time next year as last year’s comment for 2020 to “bring it on” does now! But we will see. 🤞)
