I’ve sent that to the missus for the next time we get a shit air b&B and are asked to review. The reply she sent was fair too kind, she wouldn’t let me write it.

An amazing aerial view of the Roman ruins of Timgad in Algeria. Founded as a colony in the reign of Trajan.
Anybody visited them ? I’ve never heard of them until this afternoon what a plum.

Torpedo Fish by Henri Gaudier-Brzeska.
A Vorticist, IIRC he was killed very close to the WW1 armistice.
For context it’s about the same size a large key.

Sorry I didn’t watch that so no idea if it’s the same place.
