IStrutE evening talk on Scottish Parliament building - I wasn't going to go, since it's most about structures (though it'd be nice to refresh memory), but seeing it talks about handling listed buildings and especially now that Arup was forced to close the building after a strut swung free in the debating hall... excuse me, but I have to be there to watch people make fun of Arup. I just have to. (I'm so bad)

BUT - sent out a "reply all" to ask who's going, but just looked at the list and Edward C. is there. If he replies to say he's going, I might not go... XD;;;; or drag the man with me even if he goes kicking and screaming. XD;;;;

Wales tomorrow! So excited. Turns out one of the man's friends can't make it this weekend, so they called it off, so now I don't feel as guilty. Of course, must learn to check the calendar more carefully from now on.



[edit] ...........isn't it sort of weird (and rude) that, when a few people gather around to talk, one of them has to write something on a note to give to another person? If there's something private you want to talk about, you could always do it later...

Ah well. *shrug* Guess some people just don't know constitute to being "socially rude".

Just a lot of recording of listed buildings... brick by brick... drawing it all on permatrace... trying to work out the dating and phasing of the building... XD Archaeology of standing buildings is an evil thing which I have no intention of doing again if I can help it. ;)

Listed buildings = nobody's friends XD

better than being told there might be a Roman settlement next to where you're about to dig out for a new road, though ^^"""" (not that we ever did the digging in the end, the council couldn't afford it!)

Oh, yes. PPG16. Rescue archaeology and the funding for it/practicalities of it is a subject which has an almost endless ability to piss people off.
