There was one year during my time at Keble (Oct 1973-June 1977) when we made a snowman on the Liddon Quad.
In June.

Finally snowing in Oxford - Queen's Lane.
A snowy lane with an ancient wooden gate set into the stone wall at its end. Peter is disappearing round the corner, snug in his heated gilet.

My niece in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen, has made a snow dalek that's featured in the Aberdeen Press and Journal. #proudaunt
A magnificently detailed dalek made of snow, complete with sink plunger.

Uniqlo's merino tops are a real godsend in this weather. I am completely encased in layers of wool.

Rising over the dunes behind Crosby beach, yesterday’s super moon, at first gold then silver as it rose higher above the shoulders of an iron man and a cold clear evening. #IronMenCrosby

Now in her alternate mode. If she's not sleepy, she's murderous.

Here's a #HigherEducationPostcard of @magdalenoxford.bsky.social

It was founded in 1458 by William of Waynflete, then Bishop of Winchester

"Mrs Cass asked me to send you this with her love - also the Cromer one"

An old monochrome picture postcard showing medieval college buildings with tower and ivy covered walls. Handwritten on the foot of the card is "Mrs Cass asked me to send you this with her love - also the Cromer one"

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.

That's Earth.
A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.

Approaching Kumano Hongu Taisha Grand Shrine. The tallest torii gate in Japan can be seen in the distance.
A winter view of blue mountains and blue sky. A distant torii gate stands in the middle of the valley.

Well, it’s Christmas Day, so it must be time to talk about Jesus – specifically, about how on this day 1,225 years ago, Charlemagne, who was in Rome to be crowned Carolingian Emperor, presented Pope Leo III with the very holiest of relics: the Foreskin of Our Lord 🧵
Illuminated manuscript illustration (from Legenda Aurea, in the British Library’s royal collection): some people gathered round an altar, some of them with haloes. In blue, on one side of the altar, Mary, holding a naked baby Jesus. On the right, a man in a red robe and a blue hat holding Jesus’ penis in one hand and a knife (by its blade) in the other. There appears to be some blood as he cuts Jesus’ foreskin off

And it's just ONE week to New Kitten Day, when we're joined by this little one.

She's busy unwrapping her presents now.
