Feeling anarchist today, so here is a free Norwegian article:
Med middelalderkunnskap mot en bærekraftig framtid: Om bygningsteknologien bak Stavanger domkirke. Frá haug ok heiðni 2021:3, pp. 3-9.
An English version with a full reference list is in the making (cap of 6 refs).
Just thawed out after using the @HESEngineShed App at Kinniel House last week. The glitch, which we will resolve is that there 7 different finishes on 22 elevations. Recoding these is vital for the future of the building and conservation in Scotland generally.

There was this tree in Wales that was 124 years old, it reached higher than a 20 storey building (63.7m
(209ft)
It was damaged in a storm and had to be

The glacial archaeologists in the Secrets of the Ice programme are witnessing the effects of climate change up close. "I had never imagined the ice would melt at such a rate", says Espen Finstad https://t.co/DlUOaVHBy4 @brearkeologi#archaeology#ClimateChange#glacialarchaeology
Putting these madder, walnut and hopi sunflower swatches together today. As usual the phone camera has flattened the colours but in natural light they are vibrant, especially the madder coral pink.
As the impact of global warning becomes more and more evident, we are being told that it’s up to us as individuals to withstand it AND that we are mentally ill for being concerned.

"Gender Criticism" in the last 7 days:
- Helen Joyce quoting the bible on a Right Wing TV show.
- Harry Miller appearing on the Youtube channel of an anti-gay marriage org.
- Posie Parker and most GC people supporting removing lesbian parental rights in Italy.
