Brown Rice and Lentils

A groundbreaking initiative here tonight in Athens -#SilentFireworks to keep our pets and wildlife undisturbed. The technology uses chemical compositions that minimize noise while maintaining the brightness and colors. I love my city. 🥰🇬🇷🎇

Bluesky is definitely a kinder place..

However, having weighed everything up I've decided to continue posting here, too

Unfortunately it's a challenge to be seen these days. So, if you see this, please may I ask you to repost, so I can re-find my tribe?

Thank you! 🐝

@createstreets Where is this?

[Brown Rice and Lentils @vincekaralius]

Husbandman.

[Brown Rice and Lentils @vincekaralius]

It does!

[Ane Appelt @cancerphysicist]

@vincekaralius Water temperature looks about right, though

[Brown Rice and Lentils @vincekaralius]

Nah, too much sky for @cancerphysicist

Preservation in action.

(One of our big summer jobs was moving over 3,000 boxes of records with multiple digital and physical surrogates off to secure offsite storage - you can still see the originals, we just need a bit of notice!)

Just a gentle reminder from York that not all Regional Mayors are metro mayors.

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Starmer's tour of the UK a reminder of how much of British politics Labour now controls.

An enormous parliamentary majority at Westminster.
Nearly all of the metro mayoralties.
Biggest party in local government.
The Senedd in Wales.
And a realistic shot at taking Holyrood in 2026.

A complete transformation compared to just a few years ago. Also means there's nowhere to hide.

@HistoricEngland For Pace's archive see https://t.co/N4Rq2aHPcY
Pace was astonishingly good at creating atmosphere whether the small project of restoring St Martin le Grand in York after it was bombed or his larger works.

@YorkMansionHse @YorkGeorgianSoc Are you not counting the Georgian Ball held as part of York Festival in 1951? The one where some people arrived in sedan chairs, and police had to hold back crowds?

[Brown Rice and Lentils @vincekaralius]

@guyshrubsole @ChrisGPackham @MarkAvery @RuthTingay @WildJustice_org @TonyJuniper @BenGoldsmith @CarolineLucas @SteveReedMP @timfarron @SteveBarclay Is it possible to ask a further particular question of the data you have about pheasantries, via DM to you or other private means?

Is inflicting deliberate injury on clocks the horological equivalent of bleeding for people?

[Fairfax House @fairfax_house]

It's January, and that means it's winter clean time!

So far we've:

🐭 Rounded up 340 mice
🕰 Wounded our clocks
🍽 Started condition checking our pottery

And much more! Follow along to see how we care and clean our collection 🙌

That looks like the contemporaneous probate register, so the scribe is that of the probate court (PCC?), not one employed by Sir Edward.

[Brigitte Webster @tudorfoodrecipe]

Sir Edward's will from 1541 is a pure treasure trove of information & most valuable for social history, material culture & food history! I'm also much indebted to him for the employment of a professional scribe which is making my research that much easier. @UkNatArchives

Congratulations to all! This is a step-change in caring for the University's art works, gathered since its foundation.

[Helena Cox 🇬🇧🇨🇿 @HelenaCurator]

Last day of moving art from an old store! The artworks will now be photographed & condition-checked before they settle into their new home at @UoYBorthwick!
With over 900 artworks on campus, there’s a lot yet to be done but today marks a big step on this exciting ongoing journey!
