And a bonus olive oysterling (Sarcomyxa serotina), still going strong, in frozen Perthshire! #FungiFriday #FungiFriends #fungi #mushroom #nature #Scotland

* this said, it is a VERY long time since I did the classical elements of my degree...!

I think "hymen" does mean "membrane" in that case; classical myth is a much more complex and diffuse construct than either Fry or Robert Graves would have it in their retellings, and I think there's even some uncertainty about whether the god's name and the membrane are etymological cognates.*

This wasn't Dockenfield, was it? I was there just last week after the first frost!

Thank you! It's been a while since I needed cleats and an ice ax! Perfect amount of snow, though! :)

And most of all, how wonderful to be able to play such an underratedly talented, lovely man as Hugh Paddick! I will miss all of these characters! #theatre #play #RoundtheHorne

Thank you too to all the people that kept me company on the way, and how amazing to be surrounded by #theatre history from Shaw, #Olivier, Barrie and #Christie, to Jean Alexander, Su Pollard, Felice Arena, and Herr Flick of the Gestapo. #Corrie #CoronationStreet #play #tour #RoundtheHorne
