I have to admit I am not really getting into that app... don't feel connected at all here... will keep the account, check once in a while, but not spending too much time here. Hardly any of my friends are here and if, not really active.

I was finally able to visit the British Museum again and have a look at all those beautiful Sutton Hoo finds :-)

🐙🌿🕷️ Ever see a spider yawn? Well, now you have. Okay, not yawn as in draw a big sleepy breath - spiders don't breathe with their face - but this one is stretching its chelicerae (mouthparts that end in the fangs) wide, making them look like a Yosemite Sam mustache. Also, it's grooming its eyes--

Hoo heard the news about Sutton Hoo?
We can now reveal that we found the entire base of the Bromeswell bucket intact during last year's Time Team excavation and following further investigation we now know it contained an early Anglo-Saxon cremation burial: buff.ly/91DezbT

His Grace, Duke Douglas of Sealand is now officially a senior citizen. I contemplated a more dignified photo for this occasion, but undressed under the Sealand flag instead. A birthday suit tradition that started In 2019 if you scroll back.

Sharing my childhood dream to be a horse has been revelatory and joyful! Lots of people have admitted a similar ambition; others wanted to be cars, fire engines or even a potato when they grew up!
