These woollen chitons (or long tunics) have - incredibly - survived from Roman Egypt due to the dry climate. Amazing finds showing a wonderful insight into past fashions. 🕰️5th-7th century AD 🏛️📷Museum of Byzantine Culture, Thessaloniki

Our favourite sitcom. So beautifully made. It is gentle timeless comedy perfectly written and performed. A must watch. Frank Middlemass and Joan Sims are two unforgettable side characters.

Folio Society has arrived. They make such beautiful books. I just feel obliged to support the art of bookmaking. Neuromancer is especially sumptuous. Welcome new friends.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Byzantium, the early centuries by John Julius Norwich. A very fine read. It ends with the coronation of Charlemagne and the overthrow of the empress Irene. A new handsome emperor of the West after all this time. I quite like Constantius IV 668-685 this time.
