I seem to have picked up quite a few new followers this weekend, hi! I'm trying to use this place more than the other, so I hope we interact.
From me you'll mainly see posts and shared content about museums, books (especially science fiction), and science.

Pride and Prejudice is my mum's favourite novel, she used to re-read it every summer holiday from the year she studied it at O-level until sometime in my early teens (c.25 years?). I've never read it but I've decided this year to remedy that situation.

"If music be the food of love, play on, give me excess of it". Tonight I'm at the Barbican to see the RSC Twelfth Night. A Christmas treat to myself.

Spent New Years Eve day at Tate Britain seeing "Lee Miller" and "Turner & Constable" exhibitions. Both contain treasures, a very enriching afternoon.

When people say NYE is always an anti-climax, they are clearly not referring to having dinner inside the Crystal Palace iguanodon, which is obvs the best thing ever
Well, if it’s 31 December, it’s... yes, of course: 172nd anniversary of the dinner Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins, creator of the Crystal Palace dinosaurs, gave for 21 leading academics and other VIPs inside the Iguanodon

Guys guys guys, I found the archive of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures (it's not an achievement, they've not hidden them) - you can watch every single one since they started televising them in the 60s:

I love watching them every year, now I can see them all!

Watch all the Royal Institution CHRISTMAS LECTURES back to 1966, when the lectures were first televised.

Some Christmas Eve Lego building. Lego Ro and the shuttlepod Onizuka ♥️. The shuttle is named after Ellison Onizuka, the first Asian American into space, he died in the Challenger disaster. The pod appears in a few episodes of TNG including The Minds Eye (S04E24) where it is captured by Romulans.

it's Christmas Eve but it's also the 16 year anniversary of the time an art historian for the Hungarian National Gallery spotted a long lost painting while watching Stuart Little with his 3-year-old daughter, recognizing it in the movie set
