Juno wants everyone (but most of all Artemis, Cassiopeia, Penelope and Persephone) to know that she holds the rank of senior and First Lady in her herd of #GuineaPigs.

Unsere Küche war während der #Sonnenfinsternis eine #CameraObscura. Die Lücken zwischen den Weinblättern vor dem Balkon fungierten als Lochblenden.

As you can see in this picture, #GuineaPigs are highly social creatures who enjoy the company of their kind.

Protecting the piggies from airborne and feline predators while they enjoy their lunch on the lawn. I should be at my desk, revising an article after peer-review, but this is much more satisfying. Short #AcademicBreak with #GuineaPig support.

The #GuineaPigs had a lunch of freshly cut grass. Artemis ("Temmi") sat on the food so nobody could steal from her. Cassiopeia ("Kessi"), seen only by her butt in the top right corner of the image, had to periodically check something in the cardboard box. Then they all took a nap in the shade.

Returning home from a fantastic conference on #Technostalgia in Luxembourg 🇱🇺 hosted by Valérie Schafer and her colleagues. Great talks, great discussions! Met old friends and made new ones. Stayed at a hotel befitting #media #archaeology and #nostalgia.

This is Minerva ("Mimi"), one week ago, out on the lawn in our backyard. She will probably not make it through the night. Her health has deteriorated lately. But she is comfortable now and surrounded by the little herd of #GuineaPigs she has led for the last five years. Godspeed, Mimi.
