Drat, I’ve slipped back into Summer Time, would happily sleep at 9pm.
Cause: my wife was away for a week, so woken by our cat, Mochi at 6am every day. Not helped by getting dark at 4.

Two more iconic grassroots music venues, The Joiners and The Croft, are now OFFICIALLY community owned buildings. Thanks to the herculean efforts of all involved, these institutions are saved - and with that, the opportunities for bands, music fans, and many more are secure for the next generation.

Exquisite.
I’ve been researching owls in Japanese art recently, and find their representation rather ordinary, unlike their depictions of anything from the sea which in my mind are unparalleled in art. Perhaps it’s because their appreciation of sea creatures starts on the plate.

It's time for a timeline cleanse!

Such an interesting thread
I was intrigued to see which two of the Vatican’s ten Raphael tapestries were chosen for today’s unprecedented service in the Sistine Chapel. The tapestries are very rarely shown - was Pope Leo XIV conveying any message in the choice?
