Really enjoyed the Ed Burra exhibition at Tate Britain. He lived a life.
A wonderful couple of days in Hof for our Anglo-German project StoryMachine storymachine.iisys.de. All things folklore, hypertext and digital humanities!
The hostas in my garden will testify to it being a bad year for slugs.
Really looking forward to @nannathylstrup.bsky.social’s keynote for RESAW 25
The Library (Knowledge Centre) at the University of Luxembourg is stunning. Elements of the steel mill that stood on the site have been incorporated into the design.
A gorgeous evening in Oslo after a day of wonderful web archiving discussion at the IIPC annual conference
So looking forward to the first day of #BDCAM25 tomorrow. We have things to celebrate even in difficult times.
Gorgeous day to get out into the garden and do some spring tidying. The daffodils are out and the tulips are on the way.
First daffodils just starting to bloom and birds flying past with twigs in their beaks. The morning walk to the station is so much nicer in the spring.
Celebrating #SuperbOwl day with some lovely owls from the Victoria & Albert Museum. Details and links in the alt text.
However you celebrate (or don’t), may you have a joyful and peaceful Christmas.
