my mum once sent me a postcard to ask if I'd seen the WhatsApp message she'd sent. That I had answered. Also - I love how specific she was with date *and* time 😂

We are launching a new Winter Coat Swap at Orkney Library & Archive. If you have any winter coats you no longer need we'd be delighted to have them. We're looking for coats to fit any age and size, adult or child, as long as they are in good, clean condition ready for wearing. 🧥

When admiring the letterforms of a neon sign, it is easy to overlook the practical logistics of its construction … but look at how much effort goes into the illusion of a continuous line of cursive text.

not entirely sure what Hyperbolic Geometry is (does it just exaggerate how hard it is?) This looks like a huge version of a shower scrunchie that my mum once crocheted.

The Japanese brand Concetto seems interesting. They have a romantic mid-century vibe like Coherence (another great outerwear maker). Range includes raglan Tielocken coats with one-piece sleeves and French Army motorcycle coats with deep inverted pleats like Loden outerwear

We got chatting to a guy in a cafe a few years ago and he said he lives in Schwabenland but was originally from Dresden, and moved in 1979. My husband said 'Huh? 10 years before the Wende?' 'Yes', said the man, 'My family escaped from the DDR in a small airplane'.

Today, Germany remembers the November pogroms of 1938. 87 years ago, Jews were targeted in a wave of orchestrated violence in Germany. Jewish shops and synagogues were destroyed. Many Jews were murdered. These acts of terror paved the way for the Holocaust.
