Utterly massive fork lightning over London 3-4am, not seen likes before, not for a very long time. The downpours are like solid water. And an urban fox running for its life. Birds will be happy tomoz. Seriously a busy storm. Met Office say "occasional light rain showers and light breeze". OFGS.

Love this. Brava.

Hurrah.

𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵, 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗬𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 Saturday 18th July 2026 (Pls re-post) Come and find out more about Thornborough’s remarkable Neolithic and Bronze Age landscape on Saturday 18th July 2026. West Tanfield, North Yorkshire, HG4 5JU. www.eventbrite.co.uk/.../festival....

An incredible, beautiful, tranquil prehistoric landscape in North Yorkshire, plus fish & chips

For anyone who has seen the latest news about Stonehenge, just saying...other Prehistoric Monuments are available...

Bollox. Come to Yorkshire. We do fish & chips too.

Infamous Met Office Weather (UK & via BBC). Light cloud and light winds. So it's raining of course. BAN THE MET OFFICE! Any age. It's a scam.

Hear hear.

I'm one, 6 years and 6 weeks, housebound. And there is ZERO help or support. Unless you want "talking therapy" via an app, medics go silent. The NHS is too fragmented to coordinate, let alone proper testing & coordination. There are no treatments. #LongCOVID is multi-systemic, disabling.

Today marks nine years since the Grenfell Tower fire. Nine years without justice. 72 people lost their lives in a tragedy that was entirely preventable. And yet not one person has faced criminal accountability. Not one prosecution. Not one conviction. Not one person behind bars.

While Putin bombed the art museum in Kharkiv

Dear gods... Putin is way beyond evil.

@durotrigesdig.bsky.social Tips for drying finds in wet weather...

There's something strangely comforting in washer-drier (UK) spin cycles at 3am. Loud. 1) machine still works. 2) laundering after yesterday's #LongCovid crash carnage (shat myself & vomiting). 3) End state of calm, clean, 6yrs+6wks Covid19 Post-viral is still killing me. Shower next. Terror. 😱

Yep.

I just KNOW this series is going to be so much fun. Meg @megsdigs.bsky.social, Rosanna and I are totally on the same wavelength. And it’s a VIBE

If I may offer a small taster example from the North York Moors where the historic (and very prehistoric) fragile environment is taken into account. Our Mesolithic #archaeology is unique in many ways. timevista.co.uk/about/resear...

'Anything to get that elevated perspective.....'

Or a ladder to heaven, North York Moors, Durham Uni, 1985

AI? Best denial. Passion. Being human. AI cannot have an original idea. This makes me emotional. www.reddit.com/r/Fauxmoi/co...

This an increasing and common story, dilemma. I'm only still in my home because I could pay off the mortgage with equity release (so a hidden hugely expensive 'lifetime' mortgage) and all my savings run out in 7rs at state pension age. It *is* terrifying. There is ZERO support. #LongCOVID

Since Blair and Mandy architected Starmer and the right-wing Labour we experience today, (and demonstrating their ineptitude in government) reacting against Corbyn et al, I find this and the timing bizarre. Nor is he ageing well in his immense wealth. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Apropos of nothing. This has to be my fave article title in some considerable time.

Hey, you take humanity, like sentient people, for fools. We see right through you. Enjoy your utterly stupid mind and money games. We're tired of you.

@durotrigesdig.bsky.social Concerning 2026 new season and my rude post on yr Fb page, involving austerity, Chelsea flower show & compost, I would like to remind of the importance of contextual "POINTING" as an ongoing career development path. Herein, the King, and a Pensioner (might be Boudica).

Totally and utterly surreal. The electorate are electing representatives who don't understand fundamantals of democracy, even basics. Colour me pale-blue shocked.

Extremely interesting. I'm pacing my reading with #LongCOVID but even a dip-in is fascinating, perceptive. (Lovely to see the late great Schada-Hall, good friend, ref'd too).

Welcome to a new pandemic in the forming. No vax until next year. Well done.

Hear hear. Convicted criminal, more than once prison. - Physical violence & mysogeny - Far-Right racist, anything-forrin-phobe - Corrupt up to his armpits for self preservation - Wiff of "medications" Mum says "not an altogether pleasant reflection of humanity, going back pre-Jurassic" Small willy.

Similar, the solicitor who visited me at home for signing all my equity release legal paperwork did the same. We talked for ages as I signed away my financial future.

Obviously, the Grenfell investigation was always going to be complex. But it's taken *9 years* for the police to reach this point, and the CPS doesn't expect to actually bring charges for another year! "Justice delayed is justice denied."

There are two presentations with #LongCOVID: Hyposomnia: getting too little sleep; hypersomnia describes excessive daytime sleepiness or sleeping for excessively long periods. Both disabling. Different systemic roots. Suggest to search (Fb) Robert Groysman MD I'm LC 6yrs, hypersomnia (mitochondria)

My shared post of the day. The UK is corrupt, inept, crying and dying.

"Serious negotiations" is basically serial-lying 5th-grade bullies out for profit, against theocratic terrorists also out for profit. Survival of the mentally unwell. Humanity is the currency. Or is it just golf?

>after< SARS2 Covid19??? IT IS STILL HERE! and its growing millions of crippled, disabled victims, all ages, ignored by incapable health systems, and politicians. Get f*cking real. Lost your home, job, relationship, family, friends, basic functioning, future? Welcome. #LongCovid

Add #LONGCovid, across the spectrum of our fragmented health systems, broken. We've been around now 6yrs. Whether hospital or housebound, nothing is joined up. Seems to be ZERO upskilling, primary care to specialists. Research has revealed the complexity. "But Covid ended yrs ago" (my blood nurse) 😱

Tiny fingers. Disturbing heritage. That's all.

@vodafonegroup.bsky.social Hey, the latest SW update for Galaxy android used up my entire month's quota for internet/data access. And so failed. I won't pay a premium to complete the update, I have no more £s. This feels like a mistake, or even an upsell trick. Pls explain.

STONE WARRIORS is the sequel to STONE ARROWS (2023), adventure stories set in Mesolithic Britain around 8000 BCE. Targeted at younger readers, they're great for any age, weaving what we know archaeologically with what we can imagine. Both available through usual online ordering outlets.

I have had to watch this several times. Is it real??? Somewhere between brilliance and real-life medical experience. Would suggest a colonoscopy next, which is quite funny & educational by virtue of nitrous oxide.

#MesolithicMonday #Archaeology because you missed #FlintFriday Upland wetland peat bog site, flints almost uniquely within stratified peat. 14C results indicate 3900-3800-3700 cal BC overlapping w/earliest Neolithic on coast (Street House Farm) by generations. Westerdale, North York Moors, England.

My cheaper suggestion is to tile them all with cermic tiles from the Flemmish 1700s to dystopian bathrooms of our neighborhoods kitsch 1970s. That would be art and very interesting. And balanced with the BRILLIANT yarn-bombing knitting culture that adorns our neighborhoods. We're more than concrete.

Slightly diminish a book: 1983

Spot on. And the true motives behind Netanyahu's regime are the elephant in the global room.
