Going through proofreader's queries and I can almost feel their relief when they have managed to read a whole page without finding anything wrong.

Slovenia might actually be the most beautiful place I've ever visited.
A crystal clear, wide but shallow river with a light blue hue curves from the foreground to the right and into a valley. The sides of the valley are mostly coniferous, a dark green, with some lighter green trees. The shore of the river is covered in white rock. In the background, a craggy mountain rises, grey and bare of trees along the top.

Peak folk horror season is loading 👏
Close up shot of pale ears of wheat in a field soon to be harvested. All creams and beige, some stooping over.

Nailing the book proposal is much harder than writing the actual book 🫠

By the time the whole thing has a proper shape it sort of writes itself (but this time next year I'll definitely whinge about having to finish another whole book, if anyone wants to publish this one 👀)

The independent researcher joy continues. How can I get access to bits of AM Digital without doing another PhD?

It rained today, lit the spooky season candles to celebrate 🙌

Must have been a good year for crop marks, right? Or was the dry too late?

Once again, may I suggest to my future self and anyone else who would benefit from this sage advice:

Don't leave adding in your references to the very end 🫠

Cocktails and one of the girls' Christmas presents, like DnD-lite!
A table of candles and printed maps, an open book with quest info on it. A man in the background is looking through a big book. An orange cocktail in a small glass sits in the foreground.

I know teens spending hours in the bathroom is a thing but also HOW?!

My home for the weekend is a late medieval manor with detached kitchen, set around a courtyard with a little-altered pentice 🥰 Happy birthday/Christmas to meeeeeee!

I've told my 10yo it's not haunted but it definitely is 😬👻
A very dark scene with an old house with windows glowing orange in the night, with a stone porch. A medieval dining room with long oak table and benches, looking down the table towards an unlit stone fireplace with wood floor joists above and a flagstone floor.

Why am I seeing so many people have finished their Christmas shopping? What is going on there?

My sister has hundreds and still watches them all. My parents have to be creative in sourcing new ones for her at Christmas nowadays 📼

It's Video VVednesday! Share a piece of obsolete physical media! VHS, Laserdisc, VCD, UMD, whatever you've got

Today it's a beta release of The Samurai, a 1986 or 1987 live action TV(?) movie based on the gag manga of the same name. Does not appear to be very easy to find.

It was a perfect day to view things through the ears of a big cob.
The photo is taken from on top of a horse. The camera looks down the horse's neck with very long white mane to between two black ears. Beyond is a grass and mud country track with hedges either side and bare twisty oak branches sticking out. It is sunny and the sky is a bright but pale blue.

Foundation of an oforu (Japanese bathhouse) from early 20th c Japanese settlement in Canada. Very cool site. No historical documents mention it. Very little arch visibility on surface. Excavations revealed evidence of about a 14 small houses, a garden, and a shrine. Sudden abandonment.

I'm giving the annual Clarendon lecture tonight and then I'm not really working at all between now and Christmas which is an absolute win after this year. Other than a chat with my agent about another book.. but that's not really work.

Spoilers! A series of small walls.
A black and white plan of the footprint of medieval buildings at Clarendon Palace. There are two courtyards evident as black spaces and a range of buildings. Superimposed are the outlines of two archaeological trenches and just visible are the outlines, in red, of some buried features that were uncovered. Some of these line up with the plan, indicating buildings that were previously unknown.

Tracing loads of things on a PowerPoint slide and animating them with nice colours will make it look like I know what I'm talking about, right?

ANOTHER ridiculously cool PhD opportunity in Oslo. A call for projects on glacial archaeology - the stuff the Secrets of the Ice team work with. Applicants need a masters in archaeology, to be fluent in English, and literate in a Scandinavian language. Go for it!

No trip to Bath is complete without visiting the Temple of Books that is Toppings 😍
Two children and a woman from behind approaching a 19th century building with columns that looks like a classical temple. There are blue rimmed black signs advertising events attached to black metal railings and a blue door is open.

There are so many massive birds of prey lining the fields filled with long barrows and battle dead that this long walk over the hills does feel a bit like I'm in the beginning of a horror film. ☠️
