A younger and rounder Tanu (aka "Bruno") and his sister are the poster pups on the cover of the 2026 GB spinone club calendar! Do we get royalties?

New arrival Tanu, weighing in at 17 kg - he’s a big puppy! Our older dog Kenta is just about tolerating him.

8) into the smoker!

6) skip messy step of gutting, left to Bill for forgetting to gas up.

7) cure fish overnight, and dip into maple syrup (that’s Bill).

5) show Dave’s 8 lb coho just because it’s bigger (with adipose fin) - only allowed to be kept by First Nations until 1 October when it opens to all.
September 26, 2025 at 11:32 PM
4) catch fish, in this case a 4 lb hatchery coho (distinguished by removed adipose fin)

3) heading into Victoria harbour because “somebody” (Bill) forgot to put gas in the boat.
September 26, 2025 at 11:22 PM
2) heading to good fishing spot off Victoria harbour, on advice of Dave (First Nations, fishing all his life - i.e. we pay attention)

Documenting the entire process of making delicious smoked wild Pacific salmon.
1) on the boat at ungodly hour before sunrise.

Getting my sister into bonsai. Zen in theory. I must be on holiday.

Smoked coho salmon, 24 hours after caught. Not bad on Vancouver Island!

And introducing Tanuki (Tanu), new member of the household, arriving early October!

And on a more academic note, many congratulations to Teresa Fernández-Crespo and colleagues on the publication of their paper on the identities of victims of Neolithic violence in Science Advances.

Multi-isotope biographies and identities of victims of martial victory celebrations in Neolithic Europe
Isotopic data of people killed in Neolithic France suggest their attribution to nonlocal victims of war rituals of triumph.

Kenta's BBC début caught on Bargain Hunt today! Very photogenic. We on the other hand didn't get a look in. Well, except for my hand.

Beautiful setting of All Souls College, Oxford, for what was often a rather dark topic. Many thanks to my co-organisers Teresa Fernández-Crespo (the main driver!), Javier Ordoño and Andrew Wilson, and to all the speakers and contributors!

Thought long and hard (2 mins at least) about what my first bluesky post should be, and then thought *uck it, I'll just post a picture of Kenta (#spinone), being very attentive in the kitchen.
