    Interesting (If a tad excitable!) chap:

    Youtube - Alec Steele.

    The belt-sanding inside the grips here is astonishing:
    Also... 'Putter Togetherers.'



    I went to their website all fired up.
    May have to save up for a while...

    Etc.

    As it happens, our kitchen scissors broke at the weekend, so, full of beans, I went straight to Wright’s website - when I came round I got a pair from John Lewis instead.

    Yup.
    Though... Two sew-y mates are now considering them as birthday presents.
    I love the ordering info on each style. 'Maybe 12 weeks, batch currently on' etc.

    Member on the Medal Forum posted this t’other day.

    Crimean War photos brought to “life”:



    As someone at the BMF pointed out, it didn’t quite work with the guy at 32 seconds in, drinking and smoking at the same time. Fascinating nonetheless, whether you love or hate AI.

    Slightly surprised myself by enjoying the new digital Time Team 3-part Sutton Hoo dig on Yewchoob.
    I suspect actually better than the old normal TV version. A touch more raw, but seemed far more informative with time to do detail over TV nonsense. (Lead lady archaeologist a first-rate explainer of things & stuff too.)
    Sort of fascinated by the marketing/brand ownership behind it all too, though most significant in this house is that's the first time I've seen the Fishwife streaming Yewchoob to the living room TV.
    The times are changing, quite a lot.
    (Also - modern repro pattern-welded swords, helmets, shields, that crop up there - couple of my mates built them... The talented bastards.)

    Tony Robinson is 78...

    Forgot about Mr Boden.
    Somewhat peculiar chap, felon, top tier swearer, autist science populariser.
    I thoroughly enjoy his work, though. The shorts in particular.
    I have learnt much stuff, in a slightly odd way.
    Sometimes... even doomscrolling creates value.

    Just watched this.
    Hockey playing brothers , one with an awesome mullet do a USA Birding Big Year.
    You don't have to be into birding to enjoy it.
    Think of it like a road trip/travel/adventure film.
