Ivy, a tortoiseshell cat of very little intellect, gazes intently at a computer screen with a python script on it. Her tail is tucked around her and it's fair to assume her mind is vacant.

Wahoo, QUARTETnary is here! Thanks @irisvanzelst.bsky.social @drlperezdiaz.bsky.social, it's so beautiful, can't wait to play this geological board game 😎

Although maybe I'll be too busy admiring the cards...

A handful of the beautiful cards from QUARTETnary. The bright colours (purple, blue, brown, yellow, green) correspond to the geological periods and show events happening at that time Nothing like opening a new board game! This is the box for QUARTETnary, with the geological timescale from the insert and four blue Jurassic cards laid out - breakup of Pangea, formation of the Andes, Dinosaurs and Birds A couple of my favourite cards. The brown Paleogene card shows the formation of the Himalaya and the green Cretaceous shows a cute lil Triceratops

'What in this box, rocks?!'

After a good sort-out, I am reacquainted with some fabulous rocks from my mapping project 😍

From the Chenaillet ophiolite, Montgenèvre, in the Franco–Italian Alps
Maroon-red radiolarite, with some beautiful folding Foliated gabbro, with lovely wings on the amphiboles Rock folded as though it were paper! Into a perfect 's' ... or '~', depending on how you look at it Lime-green serpentinite - a relic of the peridotite mantle, now found at the top of a mountain

Okay, so I set up a geodesy Feed to make it easier to find geodesy material. Go to Feeds and search geodesy. Pin and like.

Your home will contain all content including the words 'geodesy' or 'geodetic' also #geodesy #geodetic.

'I hope this email finds you well'

How this email finds me:
Ivy, a tortoiseshell cat who's only concern in life is when her bowl will magically refill with food, curls up tightly in a ball on a blue blanket. Her paw and tail cover her eyes as she attempts to hide from her non-existent responsibilities
