Fascinating world of ancient #glass!
This marvellous blue #Roman glass vessel with a white base and white handles dates back to the 3rd/4th century AD. It was found in an early medieval burial from the 6th century AD. in Hüfingen - already an antique piece at the time.

✨The enigmatic Penbryn ‘spoons’ whisper secrets of long-lost rituals of the British Iron Age 2,000 years ago! ✨

Made for knowing rather than eating, these rare ‘spoons’ are thought to be magic objects of divination, used in ceremonies to seek knowledge and foretell events.

Oh, that would make me very happy!
I liked the first episode I've seen. Now if I can remember to watch it again...
I've never seen FBI -- sounds like I should give it a try. I still watch repeats of CI quite often.
It's showing on the CW channel.
It seems to be new -- at least the description says 2025. CI was my favorite too.
Hey, there's a Canadian version of "Law and Order: Criminal Intent!" Gonna give this a watch.
In another episode he showed off his Halloween costumes, including "Invisible Pedestrian."

Feel sorry for realtor Jonathan Harker who is having to deal with the property transaction
Ah well, foxes gotta eat! 🦊
I doodle drawings of animals (if I'm in a meeting, I entertain my office mate with them).
Oh, just making up "Get Back" on the fly.

This made me laugh anyway!
We learned this as a song in elementary school and I can still sing it.
Heard a lecture today about the "Poison Book" project, which is identifying 19th century library books containing arsenic. Fascinating! And, happily, they are not as dangerous as I feared. They can still be handled with a few precautions (gloves and washing your hands after). #books #libraries
I've tried but no luck so far.
Hard to choose between the Beatles and the Who. Abbey Road probably just edges out Who's Next.
