  1. #AdventCalendar Day 3: water. As part of a scheme of improvements to #Dunster Castle made by (then) owner George Fownes Luttrell, in 1870 an underground reservoir was built which held 40,000 gallons (182,000 litres) of water #OnePlaceStudy #OnePlaceAdvent #OnePlaceWednesday

  2. Day 2 of the #OnePlaceStudy #AdventCalendar is landmark. I’ve chosen Conygar Tower. It was built as a folly to improve the view from #Dunster Castle but I didn’t know until I researched it for my blog that there were other features on the hill too dunsterancestors.co.uk/2021/01 #OnePlaceAdvent

  3. I’ve decided to do a #OnePlaceStudies #AdventCalendar - feel free to join in! Home: cottage on the top was my 3x great grandparents’ home, I was told it was the cottage below but 1910 Valuation Act & censuses proved otherwise. #OnePlaceAdvent #OnePlaceWednesday #Dunster

    "He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart." - Aeschylus the tragedian, known for his festive cheer, quoted by Burnham as the mystery of the Red Angel unfolds #MemoryAlpha roulette

  5. #StarTrek #AdventCalendar 23.

    For just one day, the Earth forgets it's squabbles & strifes and cloaks itself in joy & harmony. 'Terra Incognita' indeed! Can Troi convince the Vulcans & Cardassians of the true meaning of Christmas though? #MemoryAlpha roulette #Trekcomics

    Here appears a pear of... oh... Not a pair of Turtledoves... simply a pear - The mealy and bland fruit Rutherford despises. 'Fuck pears' he shouts merrily! #MemoryAlpha roulette

    Behind door 21. is that friendly snow-dog the Alaskan 'Malamute'. Christine Chapel had a pet malamute named Milo and recalls that Milo once bit a girl who had called her a rude name. Play nice Milo! #MemoryAlpha roulette

    At Christmas, the spirit of giving stretches all the way to the Sector 949 in the Delta Quadrant. In VOY's 'Imperfection', Icheb gifts his Cortical Node to Seven. Alas, Bjayzl also has an eye on Icheb's wonderful gifts... #MemoryAlpha roulette

  9. #StarTrek #AdventCalendar 19.

    Trip Tucker writes to Father Christmas and asks for a Laser Micrometer, so he can repair Enterprise's engines. He lent his old Micrometer to Reed, who broke it while measuring to see who had the longest phaser #MemoryAlpha roulette

  10. #StarTrek #AdventCalendar 18.

    In #VOY 'Once Upon a Time', Naomi Wildman described Mitochondria as 'The warp core of the cell.' These tiny organelles are an essential part of the larger structure. The smallest things often have the biggest impact #MemoryAlpha roulette

  11. #StarTrek #AdventCalendar 17.

    Today is 'Day' - the length of time it takes a planet to spin on it's axis! Garak says Father Christmas is an enemy of the Obsidian Order who spends the extra hours of the Bajoran 26 hour day as covert operative 'Secret Santa.'

    Christmas is a time for unexpected visits by estranged family members. Juliana Tainer drops by the Enterprise-D to visit her son Data in TNG's 'Inheritance'. Data has more in common with Ma than he initially realises! #MemoryAlpha Roulette

    Tuvok has a festive vision of an OT (Original Trek) character and requires an encephalographic profile to rule out neurological viruses! Alas, Sulu is a Ghost of Christmas Past and acts as a warning for the Security Officer! #MemoryAlpha roulette

  14. #StarTrek #AdventCalendar 13.

    Christmas toys bring joy to millions of children. Perhaps this is why Jacqueline Susann, author of 'Valley of the Dolls' is on Spock's mind? Or maybe it's her use of colourful metaphor? #MemoryAlpha roulette

  15. #StarTrek #AdventCalendar 12.

    Christmas is a time to be with family. It was distressing for Harry Bernhard Sr., Oceanographer aboard the Enterprise-D, to be parted from his beloved son Harry by the Aldeans. TNG S1E17 'When the Bough Breaks' #MemoryAlpha Roulette

  17. Day 7 #AdventCalendar The bright red Cardinal Flower is the Hummingbird's favorite nectar and the red is hard to miss. The vivid red Lobelia is growing in my backyard pond and the Ruby Throated Hummingbird is zooming in for some sweet nectar.

  18. #FossilAdventCalendar Day 4

    The oddest and - at over 560 million years in age - oldest #fossil featured in this #AdventCalendar is Fractofusus misrai from #Newfoundland 🇨🇦. This specimen in the #RoyalOntarioMuseum is from #MistakenPoint, one of the sites preserving the #Ediacaran #biota, the term for some of our planet's oldest #multicellular #fossils. Lots of questions remain about these ancient enigmas, among them, were #Ediacarans #animals or members of a different branch of the tree of life?
