After a week of a bad head cold and tummy bug, today I’m finally feel like I’m coming back to normal. I basically slept through what I could and had to take 2 Days off work. Hopefully the dry bark cough will go away soon.

Rena would often send me this Dolly Parton song…. And it’s so true. I needed to hear it a lot in recent years. And will continue to do so going forward. youtu.be/MKeulwZ3sGE?...

She touched so many lives, human and animal, ancient and present day. Her passion for teaching and dissemination of all her knowledge knew no bounds. She was so good and caring. I could say so much about how she lived & enjoyed life. Mentor to so many. She really did live her life to the fullest.

Yes, poor Finbar and Bainne and the newly acquired Aenghus. Also Jack her usual cob she used to horse ride weekly at the stables - her piece of heaven. They loved their human, as did all of us. It’s not fair at all. She had so much more to give on so many different levels - in life and research.

Thank you for your kind words. Seeing dawn this morning without Rena in the world is very hard. I know she loved the early mornings & greeted every day with eagerness. I’m still can’t believe she’s gone. She shone so bright. We were working on a few collabs together, they will come out.

Thanks, Terry. We’ve lost Rena @justrena.bsky.social she has passed to the realm of our ancestors to join them. She contributed significantly to our prehistory in Ireland and beyond. I’m going to miss our daily chats about everything and archaeology. I’m thinking of her daughter & Mum. Just so sad

I’ve been with them 30 years and I can get similar deal but far CHEAPER and I fet phone coverage elsewhere!!!! Time for loyalty to break as they have gone very expensive. I’ve had enough, my contract is up tomorrow. At last. The website always has been nightmare to deal with.

Oh yeah & I know this well-my own TV declaration & then Covid hit & my research got delayed. then tv doc came out. I refused all interviews as paper not pub. Now so close to sharing the ‘real’ research (with extensive forensic analysis) & also building on this research for more is to come in 2027!

Even though I’ve been with @vodafonegroup.bsky.social Ireland since 1996 when I first got a mobile phone. Due to coverage issues and high pricing, as my 24 mth contract nears its end, I’m going to switch to better coverage & pricing for my needs. SIM card only. Vodafone gone too expensive, byebyebye

Yes it is, unfortunately. Not only no papers but no analysis so no data, to support their statements. If analysis and data do emerge it will be interesting to see what academic peer review makes of it. It’s all hype and hot air now, until that happens. Self publishing doesn’t count.

We have our own cave art team in our group. Working in various Irish caves since 2022.

Ruth Carden 🦴 🐾 🐚🦪 | 🦣🏺 @ruthfcarden.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I’m not working with that cave art group to make that clear. We tried to talk to them but let’s just say they weren’t conducive from their side

Ruth Carden 🦴 🐾 🐚🦪 | 🦣🏺 @ruthfcarden.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Oh that … that cave art research had no results yet or analysis and they made huge broad sweeping statements with many inaccuracies. If any analysis & results do come to light it will be interesting to see but until such time I’m not focusing on it. Plus own work to focus on.More to come from us :)

If anyone interested in joining in, I’ll post during the first 2-3 weeks of October & arrange preferred evening with a poll, then a second poll for preferred time. Majority day& evening time for the third/last week in October. Will figure out best platform in the interim. #nightowlchats

I hear you! I’m getting a adhd assessment on Friday, at last. At least I’ll know if I just basically shit, a prof procrasinator or all the self talk & inability to start or freeze with overwhelm/dysfunction is the way my brain is wired. And I should stop bad self talking & dev new ways of working.
