Had a trip to Sheffield today, lovely weather, food festival on around the town hall and the way they are greening up the city is very impressive

Been here. Only replace 'sick' with 'magpie'. Possibly my dearly departed Layla's greatest achievement

This is my kind of content

My sister just got engaged, thought my wedding guest days were over

This makes me quite ashamed of the UK, we threw away our EU membership for a load of amorphous promises, while others are suffering so much, in part, to have what we seemed not to value

Just realised it's 85yrs ago today that the personnel of 24 Casualty Clearing Station (CCS) made it back from Greece to Alexandria via Suda Bay. They lost all their medical & other equipment

Found these maps on my last archive visit, I've seen lots of maps showing the back and forth of the fighting in North Africa but never seen any like this before, I think they're pretty effective, from WO 201/2889 if you want a look yourself.

After a pretty successful morning I'm now sat here waiting for my phone to charge up enough so I can finish photographing, not massively helpful but my own fault

Saw this and thought of you @lydiajane13.bsky.social

This catalogue of army regulation medical and surgical field equipment by Savory and Moore dates from the late 19th century.

Heading to London for some more archive time, train delayed but hopefully the rest of the trip will be straightforward

Sending one back today, pass it on

@ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social thanks for the recommendation on DJ Ahmet, what a lovely way to spend an hour and a half

This is a great list of techniques for getting real information out of a Google search and avoiding AI slop and paid results. (One thing not included is that if you add "-ai" to a search, you block the AI summary) cardcatalogforlife.substack.com/p/google-has...

Another brilliant instalment in the series 'where the f*ck is that quote I can remember almost word for word but can't remember what file its in'.

One book I read for my lit review said something along the lines of 'I haven't provided a list of references because that would be tedious' 😵‍💫

Send this to a dog owner! They need their pooch portrait!

It’s been a remarkable few weeks and this morning we’ve just hit 300 pledges 👏🏼 We wanted to share some of the messages we’ve received along the way. They’ve meant a huge amount.

New bike lanes. Big investment. Serious questions 🚴 Our latest newsletter explores Leeds’ new cycling infrastructure - who it’s for, what it costs, and whether it will work. We cycled from Bradford to Leeds to work out what’s going on. Click the link below and have a read 👇

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Just signed up for this, hopefully it gets off the ground

All this stuff about Mandelson is not what I thought would come out of the Epstein files, makes you wonder what else might be in there.

pca.st/episode/dc23... Given what's going on in Iran think I'm going to listen to this one again

Is there a Twitter/X exodus happening again (if so, good)? I've gained some new followers (hello 👋🏼), assume via starter packs, but not sure why so many at once!

I really enjoy OGWN, well worth the cost of the subscription

Nice to come home to this delivery from @jambookshopuk.bsky.social

Just bought this for my other half for Christmas. He saw it at the Airborne Museum in Oosterbeek back in 2017 and he's been regretting not buying it ever since 😂 #histbookchat

Please join me in raising funds for medical cargo buses and trucks with electric jamming for brigades of Ukraine's Khartiia Corps. These automobiles make the difference between whether people survive or not. We can do something very specific and meaningful to help. www.help99.co/patches/timo...

Sad news www.theguardian.com/music/2025/o...

Reading about a Field Ambulance in Palestine in FWW and just come across this gem: "Previous experience of supply difficulties during a cavalry advance caused the inclusion in the loads of large quantities of medical comforts such as champagne, milk, cocoa etc" (warm) champagne 🍾?!?!

This, all day everyday

Seem to have picked a brilliant evening to head out

God finally got a draft chapter done, been like pulling teeth getting it to a reasonable standard. Onwards and upwards!
