My doctor told me that my body has run out of magnesium. My reaction: 0mg!!! -
Just seen a misplaced apostrophe in a shop sign! How hard is it to learn where to put them ffs?!! "Watson's Barber's"... what possession of the barber of your acquaintance, Watson, are you referring to? What possession of Watson's barber is so important that you need to put a sign up?? Try completing your sentences!!

Imagine the scene. I am sat in Hull Interchange waiting for my bus to my caretaking job. I am wearing a Hull FC hoody and I've just been talking to a KR fan about the proposed development around Craven Park. I am drinking a bottle of cheap water from a discount supermarket and eating two steak and ale pies from the local Bakery. I am a true working-class, northern Goose! 🪿

Don't get me wrong, I love Medieval and Early Modern architecture, it's just that if I was travelling to Eastern European countries, Communist era architecture is something I would be taking note of. Over the last couple of years, I've been travelling round England, visiting all of the Medieval Cathedrals, and a few years before that I visited all of the major Welsh castles. When I've travelled in Western Europe, I've visited places based on Medieval architecture. That period is just not a period of Eastern European history I've particularly focused on, reading a lot of books on the Cold War. I've just been looking into Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania recently and was wondering what people could tell me about those countries.

I've always been interested in visiting the Baltic States and recently I've been doing a bit more research into them, particularly smaller cities away from the capitals. They are quite simply beautiful! I love architecture and am a real fan of brutalism, and quite frankly could spend days just wandering round these cities admiring the buildings. Who needs a Mrs. Goose when you've got a Stalinist tower block? I was just wondering if anyone on here has ever explored these intriguing little countries and could share their tales?

Let me know how it goes! I'm due to visit Salisbury for the first time next year and am very excited for it! I'll be spending at least a couple of days exploring the extraordinary cathedral and a couple more walking in the area, before heading to Winchester and then down to Portsmouth and Chichester to visit the Naval museums and cathedral respectively. Gonna be a fantastic trip!

Coming up on 700 pages now, despite having a week of not reading any. We're now into the Middle Ages and the building of New Sarum, or Salisbury. We are following the story of Master Mason Osmund and the building of the cathedral, while also keeping pace with he life of Peter, a merchant who becomes caught up in Simon de Montfort rebellion against Henry III. The Middle Ages is my favourite part of history and I'm loving this section in particular. I'm past halfway now and only have approximately 650 pages to go.
