Today I brought the second graders their finished data weaving, with the words of their class pledge laser cut on bark, and yarn representing which parts of the pledge kids said they did well when we collected data for a week in November. Now on the wall with the kids' own weaving projects! #DHmakes

Oh golly I just laughed so hard I scared the cat.

I love the netted carriers for your carefully selected rocks!

A 1970's era Monopoly set, showing the board and the open box, showing all tokens, houses, and hotels in their original, unopened plastic bags. The currency and cards have their original rubber bands.

I bought this Monopoly set in the mid 1970s and have been lugging it around ever since. Somehow, I've never convinced my friends that spending a weekend on a board game would be fun. Never opened!

This is in fact Spinster's Rock, a Neolithic dolmen on the north east edge of Dartmoor.

Stressful day yesterday. One of the smaller, shyer parts of Stonehenge drank too much and got “lost”. We finally found it, looking rather disorientated in this random field 100+ miles away. Now finally been loaded into van ready to be transported home. Everyone tired and emotional but v relieved.

Yeah, my brain is trying to resolve this into the initials for some now obscure Latin phrase related to age, but I’m not coming up with anything

I tell you, the rant I had about this was satisfying even if it doesn’t accomplish anything. (I do think that “feature” is not only stupid but dangerous)

We stopped at a lay-by on the mountains today and one of the mountain sheep came and visited us. Dad was feeding him with chocolate so if you get a chocolate tasting lamb chop, you'll know why.

We had a dog years ago who demonstrated this conclusively

I solved the Thursday 3/12/2026 New York Times Daily Crossword in 16:46! There is a fun visual trick with this one

I was thinking about this film a few days ago, as I was thinking (as one does) about pathogens and computer systems.

I too saw it in the cinema and it was pretty intense

Sad to hear Michael Hague has died! 🕯️

His edition of Wind in the Willows was my definitive childhood version, and I pored over his large pictures for hours, especially the trees, Badger’s House and Toad Hall. His Piper at the Gates of Dawn is exquisite 💛

A Michael Hague illustration of two tan sea monsters standing in the surf, looking adoringly at one another. One monster holds a red heart shaped box and offers the other monster a slightly wilted bunch of daisies. In the distance their tails are entwined in a heart shape.

I bought this Valentines card of his back in the ‘80s and had it on display just last month

A skewbald donkey resting his head on the back of another donkey with ears pricked, looking to camera.

Take a break from the scroll with Charlie. 🤗

Screenshot of a weather app showing Downpours for Wednesday night, chilly with periods of rain and breezy for Thursday and rain with a breezy morning on Friday

This seems like prime cookie making weather EXCEPT I’ve done so much stress baking recently that I already have about six dozen cookies in the freezer.

But brownies…well…🤔

Okay PNW folks, let Scott know you’re out and about

An Artist Renounced His Family. They Sued to Acquire His Life’s Work.

I’d like Disfarmer’s photographs to be better known, so I’m not sure what to make of this. If he hadn’t explicitly separated himself from his family I think I’d feel more sympathy for the descendants

Token, 1649-1672 of Robert Lifford of Abbington [Abingdon] Milliner (British Museum)

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

This is a great piece and incidentally explains that if you do finally find ready-to-wear that fits today why a piece you buy in the same size a year later may not fit

A difficult time of day/evening for the camera looking into the fading sunlight but the Spec Ops HP5 Ultra did great. You can see the detail in 1440p video, but had to be 720p to share. You just know what it would feel like to touch the texture on the antler, but we all know, NO touchy the wildlife

I had a hard time finding the ON switch the last time I bought a television

Terrified.

The Pennsylvania Journal, or, Weekly Advertiser Philadelphia, Pennsylvania · Thursday, April 16, 1772, p. 3 "...on the 1st ult. a flash of lightning went through the mainsail, split the fore part of the mainmast and set some tow on fire in the steerage, which was immediately extinguished by the second mate, who was near it..."

Really think that "Captain Sparks" is tempting fate. Details in alt text. #MaritimeHistory #inaptonym

I like that perspective. I also remember fondly a Pete’s print ad that ran (roughly) “After the first hour you’re sort of sorry you asked about dry hopping”
