So Cliff Richard is going to release a "reggae" version of the 23rd Psalm. I wonder if he will use Coxsone's "In Cold Blood" rhythm as done by Harold "Peacemaker" Gilzene in the mid-Seventies youtu.be/CGTLwZ2IPBE?...

#StandingStoneSunday A few hundred metres off a single track road crossing Sheriffmuir and through thick heather stands the Wallace Stone. Tradition is that this was where the Scots army mustered in 1296 but it's 2000 years older than that. It's the only one of a row of five that's still upright.

A late entry for #MosaicMonday from Diocletian's Palace in Split, Croatia

Paul McCartney would have been 84 years old today.... youtu.be/daIokpu5Lg8?...

Something different for #MosaicMonday. One of the facades in Rennes created by Isidore Odorico junior (1893-1945)

Another from Pafos Archaeological Park for #MosaicMonday. I think this is in the Villa of Theseus but I wasn't taking notes

Part of the bath complex at Kourion, Cyprus for #RomansiteSaturday

Another shot of Choirokoitia for #HillfortsWednesday. This is the massive outer wall towards the apex of the site

The Gladiator mosaic from Kourion, Cyprus for #MosaicMonday

Well, it's on the side of a hill, and surrounded by a stone wall. Does Choirokoitia in Cyprus count for #HillfortsWednesday?

The Peacock mosaic from the House of Dionysus at Palaepafos, Cyprus for #mosaicmonday

For #StandingStoneSunday : This unremarkable marble upright is, according to legend, the stone to which St Paul was strapped when the residents of Pafos decided that he deserved a good whipping for trying to preach this Christianity nonsense

The Villa of Theseus, Paphos, for #MosaicMonday

For his hundredth birthday here are the Sonny Bradshaw Seven with "It must be", which I think owes a bit to a well known Phil Ackrill tune share.google/fzsAr0SKm77v...

A mystery for #Standingstonesunday. According to g***le maps this is the site of the Neolithic Talaiot stone de s'Hort des Poves outside Alcudia, Mallorca. I certainly couldn't find it and I'm not the first to say there's nothing Neolithic there. Where is it?

The studio of Joan Miro, Palma de Mallorca
