In My WalletIn My Wallet

Membership to a gay club in Sheffield. It has a rainbow on the back. Equivocal memories. Someone would always cry. I think I still have it because I like people to see how liberal and open-minded I am. How contrived.

A debit card. A Tesco club card. £10 note.

Blood donor card. Why is that there? Perhaps I forgot to take it out.

Eight pints down, eight pints down with a new girl,
Think we left there shouting,
Left there in a whirl,
Eight pints down; oh, if only I hadn’t stopped counting!

Went for a curry, went for a curry with a bottle of bubbly,
Think we paid? It was well hot.
Forty quid! But the wine was lovely,
Went for a curry, think we paid? Perhaps not…

She gave me a spliff, gave me a spliff but no light,
Had to use the cooker to spark the grass,
An electric hob…took twenty minutes alright,
She gave me a spliff; oh, if only I’d used the gas!

How utterly un-shocking that it should come not from screaming orgasm,
but tender kiss.
How mind-numbingly obvious that it should be born not from lust,
but from conversation.

Iron Age Amber Beadsby *thefuguestate

Photography / Still Life / Other

Iron Age amber beads (~150BC) from a temple near Kings Lynn, UK.

The temple contained more amber than the rest of the British iron age combined, a long with glass beads, bronze jewelry and 1.5 tonnes of pottery, presumably all as votive offerings. It was the most exciting site I have ever had a chance to work on. Also from this site:

What is shown above is only the complete beads, many more had been damaged or were fragmentary. They almost certainly would not have made a single necklace since most of the beads are carved very differently. The passage of time has not been kind to them - they have become extremely brittle and developed a dull brown patina that hides their lustre. However, in the inset you can see where one has fracture and get an idea of the bright, warm, translucent orange these beads would have originally been.

Ooooh nice Incredibly jealous now

I worked at Hungate in york for a spell and all I seemed to find were pins, which were amazing at first... then annoying as we were digging where pins had been manufactured and every blighter had to be small found in the box at the top of the hill :\
