I unearthed this recently. Taken by a talented photographer friend of mine in the 80s, it's of a stone circle near Nannerch in Flintshire. It's an oddity because it's not mentioned by local expert Ellis Davies in a work of 1949 and Aubrey Burl dismisses it as a folly. [Cont:

Unwell and unsure if we have COVID-19?
Avoid contact with vulnerable people, stay home if possible. 
Wear a well-fitting face covering.
Avoid crowded places + anywhere enclosed or poorly ventilated.
Vaccines remain our best defence.

Should we be worried about the current COVID-19 variants?
As we enter autumn, rates of respiratory illnesses start to rise and people ask how the most common current lineages - or groups of genetically similar viruses - compare to previous COVID-19 variants.

Hey Musk,

If it's allowed that an American citizen like you can use X to call for the overthrow of the British government, then you won't object if I, a Dutch citizen, use X to call for the overthrow of the Trump administration, because you're a free speech absolutist.

Or did I misunderstand you?

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.
