Sign in an office in our shared workspace. Maybe it's motivational for some people, but I don't think it would kickstart my best efforts on a damp Monday morning in February.

The Tree in Muckross Abbey

When you visit Muckross Abbey in Killarney, one thing that immediately catches your eye is the magnificent tree that grows right in the middle of the building. The tree is so large that it almost looks like it’s part of the abbey, as if the building had grown around it over time.

Gordon Moore was not only the co-founder of Intel and the namesake for Moore's law, the claim that every two years the number of components on a chip double, he was also, together with his wife Betty Moore, one of the donors who made Wikidata possible. Gordon and Betty Moore were known for their philanthropy. Gordon Moore died today at the age of 94.

Thank you for enabling us to make Wikidata happen.

Seen in our small Berkshire village. So say we all.

A colour photo of our village taken yesterday morning. All that snow is turning to slush now and is nowhere near as pretty.

The town of Calleva was originally a Celtic Iron Age settlement. Still, it was settled by the Romans until the 5th century, when the town was abandoned, possibly due to attacks by the population of nearby Dorchester-upon-Thames. After the wells were filled in, the town was abandoned and forgotten for centuries.

Visited Calleva, near Silchester in Hampshire. The old Roman walls are visible around what remains of the town, still very high in some places. A good tow to three metres in height, combined with what would have been a trench on the far side would have been daunting to try to climb. 100 acres of town, buried under the soil, waiting to be excavated again.

Walking around the south wall, we found this spectacular old yew tree growing out of the top of the wall.

If the sky is right, Málaga harbour has some stunning sunsets. The colours of the sky are reflected in the waters of the harbour. The industrial and urban buildings on the far shore make for pleasing silhouettes defined by the setting sun.

The chapel of the port of Málaga sits right in the middle of a now busy tourist area. It's flanked by expensive restaurants, with towering apartment blocks behind it for tourists.

Apparently, it was built in 1531, but moved, brick by brick, to its current location in 1719.

Signs of Spring. I'm always glad to see the back of winter and the approach of spring. I'm no fan of the colder, darker months so seeing the day lengthen and life returning always improves my mood.
