Mainly taking photos of small things that catch my eye while walking with the dog. Was a physicist long ago. Sometimes play with threads and paints. Have a slight book habit.

Elizabethan playhouses were supplied by a network of tailors, merchants & craftswomen. Their names survive in records, but little is known about their lives. I’m working on new research that brings the stories of these makers & traders centre stage. Here is the project in biscuit (cookie) form. 🍪
A photograph of eight rectangular biscuits (cookies) arranged in two rows on a square white plate. The plate is framed on all sides by a trailing vine pattern in green with pops of red. The biscuits are mostly in shades of ivory, cream, yellow, and grey, with a burst of vivid red and blue in one corner of the arrangement. Moving across the top row of biscuits from left to right, the designs include: neat lines of handwritten names in an early modern parish register; a section of a hand-drawn map from 1561 featuring St Paul’s Cathedral, with street names like ‘Carter Lane’ visible in a tiny spiky font; an extract of text from a funerary monument printed in an early modern book, ending ‘So transitory is our glory’; a section of embroidery from a funeral pall featuring metallic silver armour, crossed gold keys, and two hands holding up a crown. The biscuit designs on the bottom row include: horses prancing past shopfronts on Cheapside in the mid-sixteenth century; a receipt written in early modern secretary hand, which is difficult to read; a portrait of a stern-looking women dressed in a ruff, pearls, and sober dark clothing; swirling calligraphy and dense secretary hand featuring on a will dating from 1638.

Four patches of fabric, painted with earth colours. They’re lying on a towel on the floor, and there’s a pair of socked feet visible in front of them.

This must be why I had a letter yesterday threatening to remove me from my GP’s list if I didn’t respond within 30 days. I last attended in person 3 months ago, and responded to a text a couple of weeks ago, so I don’t know why they think I’m a ghost. www.theguardian.com/society/2026/s…

Aargh. Yesterday Parcelforce said they tried to deliver a parcel but there was nobody there. There was somebody here, and they did not try to deliver it. I was planning to be out today, so scheduled (re)delivery for Thursday. My plans were cancelled, so I was at home today.

Does anyone know of anyone that would benefit from stitch embroidery, lacemaking text books? My dad is trying to re-home mums collection, some of which are rare and expensive very niche techniques like medieval plumping (dont ask me). If anyone's interested please DM me

A moth was flying around the dining room yesterday. I caught it in a yoghurt pot and took it outside. Apple says it’s a Large yellow Underwing. I snapped a phone photo before letting it go.
