  2. Blog post: today it's on ideas of sound as mediator between individual and environment, drawing on Stratoudakis and Papadimitriou (2007), and looking at that 1614 Thalbach snowball fight as an example

  3. blogged today, on a convent sister at Thalbach who becomes Maisterin. She kept a diary, much of which was incorporated into the Convent Chronicle -- and she gives us a lot of details about the world around her. Have a read if you like!

  6. On my recent trip to the City of Bath I saw this painting. It was found in the stores of the Holburne Museum in Bath and was identified as being by the Flemish artist Pieter Brueghel the Younger.

    The painting, titled ‘Wedding Dance in the Open Air’ was previously thought to be the work of a copyist or follower, but it has been dated to 1607-14 and is now on permanent display.

  10. @workingclasshistory there’s a couple of great songs about the Diggers too. Lots of people will know Billy Bragg’s “The world turned upside down” youtu.be/SWRpl2S9iwk but I also really love Chumbawamba’s (yes, that Chumbawamba) rendition of “The Diggers Song” which is an original from the 1600s youtu.be/OA4FTIz2Zrw
