Listening to my fluffy love songs playlist again, which has been slightly commandeered by my rpg round table knight & her knightly husband. It helps me be in the right headspace to write about them.

Well my round table knight has not been kicked off the quest for the grail, so that's nice. Also tricky, since she's not as kickass as the ones that have been! Oops! 😂😂

🧵Many first heard heard of Scarborough Fair through the famous English folk song, but it was once a major centre of medieval trade. Its origins lay in a royal charter granted by King Henry III in 1253, allowing Scarborough to hold a fair from the Feast of the Assumption to Michaelmas Day (today).

Might have ordered myself some cross-stitch stuff....but in my defense....I've not been well & need cheering up! Plus some stuff was in sale & 1 kit is 16 count aida, which I've not used before, so this is a learning thing. 😋

Something fun about someone in Hustle saying "Bob's your uncle" in a scene with Robert Vaughn! Especially when you know he was sometimes called 'Bob' or 'Bobby' by costars in other shows.

Ok - going to try to write a thing & not move my head about.

Catching up on Only Connect. Hoping that by the end of the ep, I'll be able to get on with something else with less issue.

Yay - had dinner & apart from almost pouring gravy down myself, no disasters. Result! Still dizzy though.

Eight Days in September 1066 - 5 The Battle of Stamford Bridge 🧵On 25 September 1066, Harold Godwinson’s army appeared at Stamford Bridge, catching Harald Hardrada and Tostig by surprise. The Norwegians had left much of their armour behind, believing they had time before the

This famous 13th-century manuscript painting illustrates the climax of the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Created around 1250–1260 and attributed to the chronicler Matthew Paris, it depicts the Norwegian King Harald Hardrada wielding a massive battleaxe. True to medieval artistic traditions, the figures wear anachronistic 13th-century chain mail and armour rather than accurate 11th-century equipment, reflecting the era of the artist rather than the event.

Eight Days in September 1066 - 6. Legacy The events of 1066 are often presented as the moment when England’s Scandinavian past came to an end. In Yorkshire, however, that is far too simple. The defeat of Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge ended the last great Scandinavian invasion, but

I am a believer that people, especially loved ones, aren't truly gone while they are remembered & their influence remains. Sir Terry Pratchett put it better of course - GNU STP. I remember trying to explain this to bloke who just couldn't accept that someone's impact on others can transcend death.
