Incredible church- that arch would justify a 40-mile bike ride alone- but its sexpartite chancel vault is earlier than Canterbury. One wonders whether Alexander the Magnificent's lost inserted c.1130s vaulting of Lincoln Cathedral was the exemplar.

The Las Playas Intaglio, a giant fish carved into the Sonoran Desert in Arizona, is now considered the oldest example in the Americas of a geoglyphic, the ancient art form that is carved into or drawn on the ground. nbcnews.to/4j0Wyo9

St George's Chapel, Windsor- imagine designing this and not living to see it finished. Bad luck Henry Janyns- absolute masterpiece. Bravo.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

St Albans today- installation of Andrew Rumsey as 11th bishop- wonderfully archaic site and building, with the reconstructed shrine of England’s first martyr- and its C15 watching gallery. Murals and ceilings:👌

The extent of the programmes being cut at the University of Edinburgh (where I took part in an event with Raja Shehadeh a fortnight ago) is extraordinary (archive.is/tACqv) - Celtic & Scottish Lit (UG), Scottish Literature (UG) & BD Divinity (UG) among the 90, not to mention Arabic & Persian.

Trump: "We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many"
BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Wanted to see this for years- Wistman’s Wood, Dartmoor- a scant survival of native Atlantic rainforest. Sheep can’t get into its tumble of rocks. Timeless, true magic. More of this!
