Textiles and clothing history are of particular interest to me. A significant portion of my (actual physical
printed) books are related to this subject. Napping is of interest, as well, though I have never tried to duplicate
those skills. However, there are nappers in my immediate family. My own interest is more in keeping with
following cultural migrations.

Ancient artefacts found in melting snow
By Melissa Hogenboom Science reporter, BBC News
The well-worn tunic was incredibly well preserved and was made from woolAn Iron Age tunic is among the discoveries found under melting snow on Norwegian mountains.
Other findings include Neolithic arrows and bow fragments, thought to be about 6000 years old.
Snow on the Norwegian mountains, and elsewhere, is rapidly melting due to climate change, which is now unveiling a world of well preserved new discoveries.
Arrow heads were thought to be lost by Neolithic
hunters

Thank you for the photo of the ancient shirt. Actually it reminds me of a textile company called “Trigema” who wants to create biodergradable T-Shirts, because these T-Shirts look quite like that one out of the ice, after some weeks in humid soil.
In addition, I found lots of piano solos on your site, and I wish to thank you for these, too.
All good wishes,
Michel

Yes, on the right upside of your article, Valentina Lisitsa plays Chopin opus 10, N°4. When she finishes, quite some more piano solos can be heard 😀

Valentina says she likes best to play for an audience. We are the appreciative audience. She has a you tube channel where she uploads her performances, and some just for the YT.

She’s good… May be, for my feeling, a little bit too fast in the tempi, but it sounds interesting 😀

I like that approaching manic … when playing something that requires a more somber or pastoral pace she does it. —– When she plays with an orchestra, do you notice the conductor watches her, rather than the other way ’round. Hahaha
