#oldthings — Public Fediverse posts

thank you fedi hive for the advice! We had a wonderful time exploring Leeds, eating pies, drinking coffee and looking at art. Definitely high spot was the bookish type bookshop. Original post: my spouse and I were holidaying with our daughter in a remote cottage in the peak district. none of us in a good mental state. We went to #Leeds for the day, and asked fedi "Where's good for us to go?" We wanted places LGBTQI+ welcoming, diverse, interesting and not too expensive. We like #coffee, #coffeshops #books #bookshops #oldthings and #art we had some excellent suggestions for nice places to go. We parked near the #Brudenhall and walked into the centre... Thank you fedi hive. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Mein altes #50erJahre #PTT #Wählscheibentelefon aus der #Schweiz durfte nach über 10 Jahren wieder aus seiner Kiste raus ans Netz.
Dank einer alten #fritzbox7490 die ich heute als Repeater angeschlossen habe, klingelt es nicht nur, sondern wählt auch wieder!

Vad gör man med gamla barn- och ungdomsböcker från 70- och 80-talet som är i ganska bra skick?

Och vad gör man med andra, blandade, böcker från 40- (!), 50- (!), 60-, 70- och 80-talet som är i varierande skick? 🤔

I'm not that into Neolithic stuff. I mean I'll go and visit sites if they're nearby, or I can get there with an easy bus trip, or take a plane over to another island and walk up a muddy farm track in the rain, and across a wet paddock...

The Knap of Howar is a farm house and accompanying building on Papa Westray, one of the islands of Orkney. It's believed to have been built about 3800 BCE and, everything says, its the oldest extant stone house in NW Europe. Really, if you look at the oldest "buildings" in the world, most of them are tombs or burial mounds. As actual old building(site)s go, this little up in the top 3 or 4. Which is rather cool.

Also cool is that you can go inside and, when I was there, there was no one else there. Not even any birds. Just me* and the wind. Definitely one on the best sites I visited. (Sorry other wonderful places.)

*After leaving the airport, I saw only three people all day: a guy doing some welding, the lovely lady who offered a wet visitor a ride and a truck that turned off before it reached me. If you're not keen on crowds, Papa Westray is a good place to visit.

Day 17 #ArtAdventCalendar is another close up. I liked the textures and colours on this a lot. The wagon served it's purpose for many years, and is now retired and slowly reverting back to nature. I find images from these old pieces are always changing.

Found this old film camera while cleaning the basement. What will I find when I develop the film? Wrong answers only.
