And here is day 3 of #Jamuary featuring vocals by @tinelinen.bsky.social
It all started with a vocal improv that took 2 minutes to record. I then built a track around it. Hope you enjoy.

Decided to reawaken my old blog on the value of #archaeology in today's society.
Why am I picking it up again after 10 years? Hint: health issues, career changes and leaning in to old skills.

Health, video games and new beginnings
You know when life just happens? Yes, that feeling. You want so much. You want to do well, change a few elements of the world, and get places. And then your body just stops you in your tracks. That. It happened. So much so that I had to stop writing. I have had a neurological headache condition for decades. It got worse.

The year is coming to a close, so how about some #feelgood reflection?
What's one thing you did this year that you're proud of having done?
Mine is that I have almost beaten #LongCovid after 5 years, through gruelling pacing and slow progress.
