@DorchLitFest @CloudAppSoc A real highlight in a day of sparkling events @DorchLitFest

‘Clouds are vehicles of the imagination’ says Founder of @CloudAppSoc @gavinpretorpinney Everyone loves a cumulus, light-hearted and the best for shape-finding. We get lots of elephants in the sky. It’s to do with the science - the thermal remnants become the trunk.

@DorchLitFest @mickulus It’s going to be a fascinating talk @DorchLitFest

Astonishing news story ahead of Michael Conefrey @mickulus's @dorchlitfest event. His book FALLEN explores the disappearance of George Mallory and the very man who wore this boot, Andrew 'Sandy' Irvine, on Everest in 1924. Tickets on our website. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

@helen_baggott Something from a lady’s manicure set ?

Anyone able to tell me what this is? It's small, as you can see, and blunt.

Tim Marshall @Itwitius calls for a new space treaty for the 21st Century. Laws must exist to prevent nations or even businesses claiming sovereignty in space (then warring over it) & sending up unlimited numbers of satellites that could outshine the stars. #TheFutureofGeography

Where am I today (programme)

@Hugh_Willmott @Helen_Gittos @ThomasMorcom This looks familiar…

@Hugh_Willmott I’m looking forward to stewarding and washing the finds..

@Rachelhore I did!🥰

Did anyone else have a Sindy as a girl in the 1960s? I much preferred her to the weirdly shaped Barbie, but also discovered, very sadly, that her head was not meant to come off. #Sindy is 60 this summer.

@SerhatAntiques Wow what a great object!

What about this rare Sèvres porcelain plaque from the Art Deco period, painted with a panel depicting a tennis match? Decorated and signed by Louis Trager and Jean Beaumont in 1929. Chic! #sevres #porcelain #artdeco #tennis #wimbledon
