While they were up there I hope they thought about flushing toilets, gravity and sewers as discussed in a chapter of one of Boydell and Brewer's latest books "Gravity: Life's Ups and Downs". It's a very interesting read, really 😊

@metoffice.gov.uk Here is a picture of the rainfall radar map that at 11.55am has Norwich covered in blue radar rain. BUT not a drop has fallen here in Norwich all morning! Dear Met Office, what's going on? Rain on the radar, none on the ground.

"Very flat, Norfolk" (Noel Coward's 1930 play 'Private Lives'). Well not true of Norfolk as a whole but certainly true of the Wherryman's Way between Reedham and Great Yarmouth along the banks of the River Yare, perfect weather for walking yesterday.

Ah, Tracy as a low income author of non-fiction pop science books a shot in the head feels a bit extreme to deal with my sorrows, but if I could have been in one your named cities a photo would have lovely. I still live in hope of a sales boost but not posthumously.

Things I did during the first covid lockdown and just discovered buried beneath a pile of things to be filed or thrown away: painting I did of a schematic topographic map of Norwich. OMG, I've just found several more! I must have been desperate for things to do.

And while we're here why not treat yourself to reading "Science and Sensibilty" with its chapter on geology's pioneers including the remarkable Mary Anning! 😀

Well, vanity compels me to mention the 5 short chapters in my 2025 book "Science and Sensibility" (Lutterworth Press, Cambridge) that consider the origins and development of modern chemical theory. 😀

Rydal Mount saved. Excellent news and a big thank you to the Save Rydal Mount team who write:"After many months of thought and discussion we are thrilled to confirm that Rydal Mount has been acquired by the Wordsworth Trust in partnership with The Julia Rausing Trust and the Charlotte Aitken Trust."

Ah ha! So it's World Book Day I see. So it has to be done. All modesty held firmly in check. Here are 3 of my recent must reads! Treat yourself. Go on, you know you want to 😉 @saraband-books.bsky.social #Lutterworth Press.

David Howe @davidprf.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Quite true Javiera! Well said.Also see my book "Extraction to Extinction" @saraband-books.bsky.social which explores how we transmute rocks into our modern material and the heavy environmental price we pay for our hubris.

So true. And true of so many of our key materials that we ultimately extract from the ground. 'If you can't eat it, a geologist probably found it'. "Extraction to Extinction" A must read! 😊@saraband-books.bsky.social

And here's a carving in Chapel Fields Garden, Norwich of Will Kemp morris dancing his "9 days wonder". Mind you, I'm not sure anyone ever reads my posts as I get so few likes. But it keeps me amused. Hey ho.

David Howe @davidprf.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

George Borrow (1801-1881) was a travel writer and novelist who walked from Norwich to London in 27 hours for a job interview. The Elizabethan actor Will Kemp claimed to have morris danced from London to Norwich in 9 days saying it was a "nine daies wonder". It actually took him weeks.
