Christopher Robin was at home and so glad to see them that they stayed until very nearly tea-time, and then they had a Very Nearly tea, which is one you forget about afterwards, and hurried on to Pooh Corner before it was too late to have a Proper Tea. ~A.A.Milne

Today's #DailyArchaeology is about two of my favs: music & animals

Notice the musical instrument that Apollo's holding on this cup from Delphi

It's a tortoise-shell lyre, similar to this ceramic one, imitating a tortoise-shell in @britishmuseum (bought from the infamous Elgin)

[Dr Sophie Hay @pompei79]

The small holes for nails driven through the wall plaster that the Roman painters used to string up horizontal and diagonal guidelines to execute the geometric design of the fresco.
A detail I absolutely adore. #Pompeii #FrescoFriday

The Nelissen house is an Art Nouveau building from 1905 in Brussels built and designed by Belgian architect Arthur Nelissen. Although 118 yrs old it still looks very much like the original house. Left the house today, right a photo from 1911.
