A cloudy night here in Somerset but the sky delivered 🥰

I love tiktok history creators... You didn't casually 'discover' the train at Wadi Rum 😂 it's one of the biggest tourist traps in Jordan. I just casually discovered leftover Christmas chocolate in my cupboard which I also knew was there

Y'all, ICE isn't some Special Forces death squad. They're basically mall cops who got picked on in high school. We don't need to use THIS nonsense as an excuse not to get rid of them.

Best lil sticker anyone could have ever bought me 😂

Glorious

It's been almost a year since I left to do some lecturing around Antarctica and South Georgia, and it still doesn't feel real that I got to be there. Not sure if I will ever make it back but I hope so...

I did promise Gunner content now I'm here... 🐾

Making the jump from X as it becomes more of a cesspit. Keeping it active as I get requests for talks / history work there but time to start posting here and Threads (more likely there as I remember it exists and love it 😂)

I know I have a lot of people on here who have completed PhDs so I would appreciate the input from you if I may. A lil thread... When I started there was an understanding with work that if I worked duty weekends I would get days back in lieu from my day job. These would be PhD days but

Finished my lil goblin. Looks like a rainbow vomited on it 🌈 😂 The biggest thing I've painted so a bit of a learning curve 🎨 @roguehobbies.bsky.social

To the innermost heart of their own land they are known as the stars are known to the night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, moving in marches upon the heavenly plain, as the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness To the end, to the end, they remain...

Autumn walks with my best boy 🍂🍁🍃🐾

the National Trust said it’s an unprecedented year for acorns and I love this for him

After the 220th anniversary of Trafalgar, I'm thinking of the little girl taken to see HMS Victory & bought a book on Nelson. 27ish years later I've lectured internationally, including Antarctica & the Falkland Islands. I've delivered talks for the Royal Navy & taught at the US Naval Academy 🧵

Okay I'm finally watching Master & Commander 4K UHD and my heart is happy.

9 years ago today. Time doth fly.

The sighs emitted by this dog. Surrounded by toys, 3-4 walks a day, all the snacks, has claimed most of the household furniture as his own, and contributes nothing to the mortgage or bills... What ails you, my little freeloader? Cruelly dragged from Greece as a stray to live a life of hardship 🙄

Popped down to see Trafalgar being played by the Naval Wargames Society ⚓️ All figures by @warlordgames.com bar 2 on the table. I should probably finish painting and rigging mine at some point...

Watery environments don't usually mix well with libraries, but we've found a way to make it work! "Decks and Wrecks: a Voyage through Maritime Art and Archaeology" is now available for you to peruse on the ground floor.

Every time you use stupid ChatGPT, a thing that I once saw get a long multiplication sum wrong, it uses ten times as much electricity as searching the same thing on Google and the server cooling systems mean each use consumes half a litre of water.

Happy #WorldAnimalDay! There were a few animals on the Mary Rose, some invited, others no so much... maryrose.org/blog/the-ani...

Find yourself someone who knows you're having a chaotic awful work day already and deliveroos you snacks 😂💕🥰

Considering dropping out of my PhD to do a law conversion. I've been thinking about it for quite a few years but after speaking to solicitors this week, I think I've reached the point where my career is no longer a challenge / I need it to be. Have any of you have done a conversion / SQEs recently?

Feels a bit early in the day to be posting this, but if I'm spending the morning with 18th-century sex therapist & supposed 'Prince of the Quacks' Dr James Graham then so can you 🍆

Listening to happy sappy romantic Taylor Swift when you're happy and sappy is a vibe 🥰🫠💕

Someone suggested perhaps the cat I saw earlier is a gingeranium 🌸

@kejamieson.bsky.social explained you should never leave a debutante unaccompanied near this fella coz he'll have his way in no time at all.* You should definitely book onto a tour from KJ and @alexchurchill.bsky.social if you like history, boats & shit-talking bout Henry 8. *I have Paraphrased.

Off to Pompey to see @alexchurchill.bsky.social and @kejamieson.bsky.social talk about Lady Hamilton's lover (and possibly a ship or two). Huzzah!

Tuesday night baking sesh

Pre gym snack of pickled onion monster munch and some smarties. Follow me for more healthy living tips

Having an emotional roller coaster of a day because my uncle has died, which I'm incredibly sad about, but I also just won a holiday to Antigua. In addition, work is incredibly stressful today so my brain is a mess. I am mostly just venting at the internet because I need to get it out somewhere

I love my part of the world @kejamieson.bsky.social

Gift label done correctly ✔️ 😂

Boy offered up the suggestion of British tapas for dinner tomorrow night. What are we including in British tapas nowadays, beyond turkey dinosaurs obvs 🦕😂

Tried to paint a dinosaur today and my friends all reached the same conclusion 🙃😂

I've had so much coffee today that I'm shaking 😂

I have a parcel being delivered between 1345 and 1445, and I need it to arrive today but I also need to find a way to sneak it into the cupboard so that *somebody* does not see it arriving today in the GIANT BRANDED BOX 📦 (can we pls not brand boxes) 😂

I like tall ships and I cannot lie! You other sailors can't deny! That when a swab climbs the rigging with a mallet in his hand You don't wanna hear that he's sighted land, you wanna stay On the ocean on your ship...

Had the realisation this evening that all of my problems with food over the last however many years have basically come from one family member 😂 "You've lost weight Kate!" "Yep, almost 4 stone" "Oh! well done, keep going" I was actually almost done but thanks 🙃😂

It's 0810 and this is the sole piece of area specific content. Thus far. Poor show.

The best day yesterday with my favourite human 🥰💕 Fossil forest (tree stump) in the 2nd photo and obligatory Lulworth Cove shot in the 3rd 🥰🌊

Anyway, don't desert your ship, I guess is the moral of this one

The beverage goblin-ing is strong today.

Is... is Denmark okay? 🇩🇰

Felt like these needed sharing 😍🌊

Lil shanty afternoon at Shaftesbury Fringe ⚓️🎶
