I have GREAT news: digitalpreservation-blog.lib.cam.ac.uk/knitting-thr...

Puzzle Binding! Tricky! These are almost as rare as hen's teeth, and we just... Had One??? And, it includes HOW Many Books? (Five from Germany c. 1601 and a blank one at last count...) #Vexierbuch #DosADos @newberrylibrary.bsky.social (Case C 823 .966)

We can safely say the frogs have been having *quite* the fun time over the last few days 😳 @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social

Made a special trip to Cherry Hinton Hall park to check on the stinking hellebore 🥰 @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Update: 2 weeks later, despite this being reported multiple times on the council's reporting website it has got much, much worse. @acarpen.bsky.social @camcycle.bsky.social

That was LIQUID #CURLING !! #WinterOlympics

The Scottish chaps seem to be eating Rice Crispie bars for their half time snacks. Fair play to them 😁

Saying "Oooh Canada have the hammer" as I have any idea what that means. 🥌

Reposting to tag @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social 👋

First sighting of #frogspawn at the #MediumSizedPond, within a few days of the last 2 years. So pleasing to see them returning every year 🥰 🐸 2026 21 Feb 2025 20 Feb 2024 17 Feb 2023 3 Mar 2022 17 Feb 2021 7 Mar #SpawnSurvey #amphibians #wildlife @arc-trust.bsky.social

Church crawling friends out there: any medieval wall paintings of God the Father you can share? #SkyStorians #MedievalSky

Word to the wise: when assembling a new garden parasol, be very careful not to allow one of the 25kg granite base weights to slip and land on your finger. <bids a sad farewell to future career as concert pianist>

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Happy St Cyril and Methodius Day! May you all invent lots of lovely alphabets today.

Luge is an utterly bonkers sport. Lie on this sled and fling yourself down an icy track at 120kph. Oh and you can't really see where you're going as it's feet first. #WinterOlympics

Did you know, its not all words and letters in Charles Darwin's Archive! Here's a few of our favourite things for #DarwinDay! cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/... (1/10)

Cheery stuff from duolingo

Looks about right.

First pair of frogs spotted this morning. #SpawnWatch is go! @arc-trust.bsky.social

Who said romance is dead?

17yo's thoughts on seeing Matteo Rizzo stepping onto the ice: He looks like a supply teacher.

Unsure whether this skull on a 1715 ledger stone in Fulbourn church is hardcore goth, or cheerily fun.

You can see the "repairs" where some of the worst holes have been filled up with uneven tarmac, but the edges just carry on crumbling and spreading gravel across the pavement and piling up in the bike lane. I go along this every day, very familiar with how it's got worse day by day over the winter.

Love watching the women's snowboard big air and learning a whole new vocab. Switch front side 1080. Backside corked 1080. Scrubbed takeoff on that cab ten.

For anyone who needs cheering up... here's Britain's smallest bird having a bath today in a woodland puddle. 😁😍🐦❤️ #birds 🪶

Air fryer, yes or no - would it change our culinary life? Is it any good for cooking from scratch, or just heating up ready made stuff? Mainly vegetarian, if that makes any difference.

I have to admit I'm not quite sure I see the connection to the GBBS, but we respect a geopolitically-informed queen

Last year, despite the cold snap it was 20 Feb. Time to get out there for evening checks at the #mediumsizedpond. Yes I am a bit of an obsessive. #SpawnWatch #spawnmap,

Did my duty as #Reformazing lecturer and introduced the First Years to the Luther Insult Generator. So making sure you remember to get your dose of insults in for the day as well, #Skystorians: ergofabulous.org/luther/

Trying to be charitable and assume that the person booking my daughter's eye test was using a long S rather than just an egregious mis-spelling of our surname.

Someone came into our front garden in the early hours and nicked not only 4 bottles of milk but also the vintage wooden-handled metal holder we had kindly provided for them to carry it away in. 😣

Gorgeous anonymous donation received this morning at @theulspeccoll.bsky.social . Cheese from Henry Marshall of Peas Hill, Cambridge, being sent amongst other places to Earls Colne - by phenomenal coincidence, the village 40 miles away where I grew up 💕 - ready for Christmas 1829.

I know that I'm the only one that cares, but it just really impresses me that Circumdederunt from our Requiem album has been streamed more than 20,000 times. Move over, Madonna.

R. And make thy chosen people joyful.

17yo made 'tiktok chocolate mousse' from avocado, honey and cocoa. Dear lord it is horrendous. Starts off OK then basically tastes like burnt avocado. "Try it then have a sip of tea STRAIGHT AWAY" Erm OK, you're not really selling this.

The use of portable musical instruments is suitable.

Professional grade logistics, or doing the Biblical thing of using your riches to provide for others in times of need... 🤔 #TimelineSynchronicity @bcpminuscontext.bsky.social @naomikritzer.bsky.social

Let's talk about the Aylesbury tunnels.

Timeline cleanse. A video of one of my favorite New York moments: two cardinals, male and female, eating out of my hand on a cold, snowy day, back in February 2022—Central Park, New York. @birdcpk.bsky.social

Mis-typed MacMillan into Spotify (looking for a piece by James) and was offered an AC Milan playlist. Have to approve since they're rossoneri like @jesuscollegecam.bsky.social

Slightly delayed watching because teenagers but goodness me. #TheTraitors
