Archaeologists have unearthed a Bronze Age metropolis in the heart of the Eurasian steppe: an early form of city as complex as those of contemporary, more traditionally 'urban' civilisations, showing how steppe polities were just as sophisticated.

People who dismiss e-books or audiobooks as being somehow less worthy or less meaningful than physical books are missing the point of books. Books are not ink and paper, just as human beings are not defined by their physicality. Books are connections; emotions; ideas; just like their creators.

Been rereading Ardath by Marie Corelli which features lines from Endymion by Keats at the beginning. One thing led to another and ended up reading aloud all of Endymion last night. Actually really loved it. Now I’m on a Keats/mythology related mission…

When we cross into a stone circle, we not only journey into the Long Neolithic, we walk into ritual, into a continuing sense of sacred. We mustn't look at it as a completed story. It is ongoing. Our being there only adds a new chapter to it. – Dr. K. Brophy #StandingStoneSunday

Back in work today for a super short week & had to kick my morning off with this, & now a repeat..because yes, yes I was singing this to the cake in the hope it would make it less bumpy. Can’t say it worked too well but given my singing is understandable 😃

I see life as a shared gift, received from others and passed on to others, living and dying as one process, in which lies both our suffering and our reward. Without mortality to purchase it, how can we have the consciousness of eternity? I think the price is worth paying.

On leave and in my infinite wisdom decided to start, (emphasis on start), to learn full buttercream cake covering today. Fucking hell it is not a natural skill for me!
This is just the practice cake too (for a friend), working on the actual cake I’ve got planned for Friday tomorrow 😵💫😵💫
