A #Roman glass bowl in cobalt blue with white irregular swirls; it was made about 2000 years ago, probably in Italy, but ended up in a C1st AD grave in Roman Britain

Early stroll. The cold breeze tries to infiltrate my hair. A leafless tree ponders on the idea of spring. A man runs by, hoping the bus is late. I wear the morning like a coat. That motorbike speaks fluent roar.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.

But did you look at the judge's order?

It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."

Dramatic rock formations between West Bay and Burton Bradstock which have probably disappeared in the five years since the photograph was taken due to cliff collapses.

Thank you

Early stroll. The moon is a ball thrown at a cloud. A long thin puddle in the shape of Chile. Birdsong turning morning’s page. Bright lights upstairs at the betting shop. A horse stands beside four traffic cones.

It is the first #SundayMorning of February already: my mind is in a spin: where does the time go?! Here's our "usual" start to the day: "Sunday Morning, Farringdon Road" by Cecil Osborne from 1929. It is in the collection at Brighton & Hove Museums where it is currently on display. #CecilOsborne

Decided not to risk my almost healed ankle on a muddy Catford #parkrun. Ran there and back but volunteered - artistic cone arrangement before, marshalling during. #JogDivision #GreenRunners #RunningPunks

Catford #parkrun 334 saw 213 finishers & 4 dogs in muddy, slippery conditions - there were 44 1st timers, with five doing their very 1st parkrun. Despite the conditions 11 managed PBs! As always, a massive thank you to the 29 volunteers who made it all happen!
