It's coffee years until it's coffin years. ☕⚰️ I like ghosts, ETs, archaeology, snack foods and naps. Other stuff too, but those are pretty good. Mother to a toddler, fiancee to an exceptionally tolerant man.

Ernest Hemingway once said, “In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.” What we truly need is the power of human connection: a quiet presence, a gentle touch, or the smallest gesture that reminds us we’re not alone.

I guess I'm definitely in my 30s because I'm losing my mind over the joke in this magician's handout pamphlet.

Something wonderful for the weekend! About 40,000 years ago, during the #IceAge, an ancient artist skilfully sculpted this tiny head of a cave lion from mammoth ivory. It is one of the World’s oldest known works of figurative art. 📷 by me #Archaeology

That's it. I will not stay at a hotel that doesn't offer a breakfast owl and bed dolphin ever again.* *I was going to add in the 'comfortable sheep' but then decided, as a NZer that wasn't the best idea.

My 3YO after insisting we watch a cartoon episode w/ a ghost that we've seen 1000 times and he loves: No! I don't like ghost! Me, whose brain and mouth aren't connected: You don't like ghosts? Are you even my child? 3YO: No.

A pair of beautiful #Roman glass cups, in a bluey-green glass with white & gold 'snaking' decoration. Found near Köln (Germany), they're a lovely example of the glassware made by skilled craftsmen on the Rhine - and absolutely do not look their 1700+ years of age! AncientBlueSky

A 7th century carved Pictish symbol stone which was discovered in 1936 during excavations at the Knowe of Burrian - a broch at Netherbrough, Harray, in the Orkney Isles. Now part of the collections at Orkney Museum in Kirkwall. 📸 My own. #FindsFriday #Archaeology #Orkney

Yesterday, I had a chance to revisit the rune stone of Växjö Cathedral. It is dated to c.1000, & the translation on the nearby information plaque runs accordingly: "Tyke - Tyke Viking - erected this stone in memory of Gunnar, Grim's son. May God help his soul".

These are the (incredible) contents of a burial on the island of Aegina. The jewellery dates to between 1850-1550 BC & is Minoan craftsmanship. It is of the finest quality - dazzling, delicate & breathtaking in equal measure. 🏛️BM 📷mine 🏺 #AncientBlueSky

#FindsFriday and it’s a straight up classic: the Sutton Hoo ship burial. Dating from the first quarter of the 7th century, it’s thought to be the grave of Raedwald, an East Anglian king. Here, the world famous helmet, shoulder clasps, belt buckle & purse lid. 🏛️BM 📷mine

Anyway. An archaeology break with a thread ! I want you to look at this lovely photo which belongs to the National Museums Northern Ireland. It's a turf travois up in 19th c Glendun. Now zoom on the harness ( welcome to my life ). Notice anything ? It's all straw

If archaeology was radio, the Tollund Man would be Radio Classic. One of the best preserved natural mummies in the world, the Tollund Man died around 405–384 BC during the pre-Roman Iron Age. His body was buried under 2 m of peat and arranged in the fetal position.

Thinking about that time my coworker exclaimed, from the other side of the building, "Magicians are real!?"... Wizards. She was thinking of wizards. #workwoes

Imagine waking up to this every morning... Resist the fallacy that life in the past was miserable! There's a lot that's tough about today too, and our ancient ancestors lives were filled with just as much beauty, magic, and joy as our own. Prehistoric ≠ primitive ✊
