@fortrenn.bsky.social thankyou for the reply anyway! I'm researching the 3 battles between the Britons and the Dalriadans in the early c.8th - some bluesky thinking that there may be something in the similarities of the two 'minui...' words. Ah, well!

Apologies! Of course, I mean 'Blueskiers'! Old habits...

Would love to hear more about how you made your career change. Asking for a friend...
