We decorated the Greenhouse Christmas tree at our weekly open lunch today. It’s a plastic tree, to signify our deep entanglements with petroculture in the Anthropocene. Also, it was really cheap at the IKEA January sale a few years ago.

Today I'm at the National Archives in Kew! There are a small number of court rolls stored here instead of the British Library. As I'm only in London for a few weeks, I will be taking photos of the rolls so I'm able to analyse them in more detail later.

This week I am on a research trip in London where I will be going to the British Library and National Archives! Currently I am looking at some account rolls from Ramsey Abbey to see if the Abbey was funding the construction/repair of sewers, gutters, or latrines.
