Peter N. sent this amazing project to me, and it’s absolutely fascinating!
In Amsterdam there’s a public works project going on which has involved draining a river. Archaeologists have been able to search through many feet of sediment for artifacts – which date back 800 years. There’s a wonderful website which describes the project in detail here: https://belowthesurface.amsterdam/en/pagina/de-opgravingen-index
… and one of the pages is a catalog of over 11,000 finds, with beautiful photos and descriptions, arranged in chronological order: https://belowthesurface.amsterdam/en/vondsten
It just thrills me to think that every single one of those objects comes with a story, which, unfortunately, is lost forever – a lovers’ quarrel, a picnic, a flood, a missed arrow shot…
I feel the same way as Peter. Seeing small pieces of history always makes me wonder about all the people and their lives. Peter chose one particular piece for me, and was spot on, I love it!
I’m going to be spending some time gawking at all the amazing things found in this streambed archaeology!

The 72 year old Tiny Tyrant finally went there: “Get offa my lawn!” Just for the record, if there were desperate, frightened people standing on my lawn, I would do whatever I could to help them.

The 12 maps above are a tongue-in-cheek look at the various ways the UK is divided besides Brexit or how to pronounce scone.
And before anyone complains, they are meant to be humorous and should not be taken too seriously.

Taking An Emetic. Isaac Cruikshank, Laid, 1800. Subject: Emetics, Vomiting.
One of my favourite Walter Sorrells’ videos. I like the idea of recycling old stuff into new, beautiful things. In fact I like that much more than making things from new materials.
It was Walter Sorrell’s videos what inspired me to try and build my own belt grinder.
