When working on a Sunday, it helps to be in a nice library.
Entrance to a circular building, its double doors flanked by columns, in the sunshine.

Lovely cards and flowers from some of our finalists earlier today. It has been a pleasure teaching them over the last 3-4 years!
Blue hydrangeas, white roses, chocolates, and cards saying 'warm wishes' and 'thank you!'

Yesterday I gave a lecture at Portsmouth Grammar School. It was lovely to speak to the students and their teachers. This morning I made a quick visit to the seaside. Θάλαττα! Also, meet Steven the naughty seagull...

In the last few days, we have been based in Veroia, with its rich history. We visited the wonderful sites of Dion and Aigai (Vergina). It was interesting to see the palace, now open to visitors. We needed some shade after that! @nicholsone99.bsky.social #AntigonidNetwork #AncientMacedonia
Memorial wall of ancient gravestones, outside the Archaeological Museum of Veroia. Distant view of an ancient theatre with modern wooden seating (Hellenistic theatre of Dion), against a background of mountains (Mt Olympus). View of a row of columns, seen through two columns in the foreground, at the site of the ancient palace of Aigai (Vergina). Two smiling individuals in the shade of a tree.

It is a great pleasure to be back in Greece with @nicholsone99.bsky.social #AntigonidNetwork. We started with a fruitful meeting at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, located the street and square of the Antigonids (a roundabout really), and visited the amazing Agios Athanasios tomb.
Statue of Alexander the Great on horseback, on top of a large base, by the seaside. Street sign for Antigonidon Street, in the city of Thessaloniki, explaining that it is named after 'a dynasty of descendants of Antigonus'. View down a metal staircase leading to the façade of an ancient Macedonian tomb. Painted façade of an ancient Macedonian tomb.

It has taken some time, but here is my first post. Thanks for your patience! Whether or not it is a requirement to open with a cat picture, I am happy to oblige. It is my ambition to take this cat's state of sunny relaxation (photo taken in Volissos on Chios, July 2022) into the new academic year...
