Done. After weeks of rewriting, I finally realised what was bothering me about Provincia 61 AD—so I started again. It was gruelling, and I nearly burned out, but I saw it through. I overshot my 15-page target by one. As Peter Jackson said: “One more for luck.” Camulodunun burns. 🔥

#MosaicMonday Lullingstone villa #mosaics - The mosaic shows famous scenes from #Greek and #Roman #mythology: the hero Bellerophon riding the winged horse Pegasus to defeat the Chimera. A scene of Europa cleverly depicted in a simple, yet effective linear style. #History #art #RomanBritain

Has been quite the year for wildlife appearing in my garden at the right time for me to notice. I remembered to check my memory card was in my Nikon this time. Taken this morning. 📸🦊

If this is the general intelligence of AI, I think we're safe from Skynet for a little while longer. However, someone might want to tell @theduncanmackay.bsky.social to get on his coracle the next time he wanders on Boudica's journey. Stay in school, kids. Read books. #RomanBritain #BoudicaRevolt

What a view that is though. Cant wait to go there next year and do the stretch from Housesteads.

A massive thank you to potted-history.co.uk for making these for me. Cooking pot and bowl. The two month wait was worth it. Looking forward to using these towards my next production #RomanPottery #History

Slowly yet surely getting things on track for my next short film.

Has anyone else found that just before their broadband plan is up for renewal/cancellation, the connection starts becoming absolute bollocks and drops out frequently? Beginning to think it's deliberately done to try and entice a more secure deal.

Finally got myself a Gallic 'G' Helmet this weekend that fits my stupid fat head. Even spruced it with a crest. Looks pretty. An added bonus: Started work on a new Roman themed film short with my storyboarder Etienne filling in as an impromptu screenwriter who delivered a solid first draft today.

Having fun making my own wax tablets. Worked out very well in the end.

Season 3 of Alice in Borderlands was just as epic. Not sold on a potential American spin-off in LA, but definitely wouldn't say no to more Ken Wattanabe in a Season 4... so long as it's still in Japan.

Well, I wasn't allowed to take my birthday off work today, but at least I got a cupcake with a hat on it. It truly has been a day ofself rreflection, not least because turning 37 I need to start living my best life soon.

The thing that surprised me was Rovers made an account on here only to get rid of it after a day of creating it. Seemed a pointless decision IMO, and what irks me even more is the 'fan base' on X who think they are the voice of the people or ITK about everything. 😐

Wilko @chriswilko.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Had a nosy on X to see if the toxicity levels had dropped amongst the user-base since the skies turned blue... Annnnd no. It's still very much a cesspit.

Life in the Roman World of Nero and St Paul T.G. Tucker - 1910 For a book 115years old, it's in bloody good condition. Covers lots of ground, from the like of Adminstration and Taxation - Life in the Middle and Lower Classes - Children and Education (to name a few).

I wasn't even aware of the existence of the Hawkdon helmet until you just mentioned it, so that's still a massive help. Thank you. Hope the rest of your holiday and adventuring go well.

Wilko @chriswilko.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

@theduncanmackay.bsky.social Morning to you Duncan, 🖐️😄 Quick Camulodunum question. Do you think in all likelihood there would have been some form of gladiatorial entertainment in the city at all other than the theatre? I'm trying to do a bit more research on the capitol at the time of the Revolt.🤔

Wrapped on filming for Day 2. Will need to go back to the site to film another as we ran out of time, but yeah, fun times. Long like the Iceni Queen

Even making jewellery for deities. Whatever happens, at least I can't say I haven't been putting the effort into getting things done. I need to finish the second scutum paint job and fit the boss, and pray the backup costumes turn up by Friday.

Wilko @chriswilko.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

I originally planned to have Boudica use a sword in my film short '61AD', but TKS supplied such a dreadful replica I returned it. With time short I opted she used a spear instead. Thanks GDFB (shaft) and BattleMerchant (tip). 5 days to go till filming🎬🎥🫩 I am so damn knackered from this production.

Made some changes to the original scutum for the sake of the film. Only one week to go. 🫩 So knackered. 🎬🎥

Why have one scutum when you could have two? Filming is three weeks away. Nerveeeeees!

Finally cast 2 of 3 roles for my film short '61AD'. I have the Legionary (Casca) being performed by a former performing arts college classmate(now a fire-fighter) and I have Boudica being performed by the only person I wanted for it... Just Gaia/Terra to go. www.starnow.com/casting/61ad...

Yeah, why not. Still have no idea how to best get there from Bournemouth but that's a worry for a little later. Fingers crossed for getting picked. 🤞

Wilko @chriswilko.bsky.social · 01/04/2025

Coming along very nicely. Needs some touching up details but there's no need to rush.
