Dr. G! When this post began I decided to share a thought I've entertained for a year now about... the triclinium. You might recall how, some years back, we conversed here about how cold Mediterranean winters can be? Well, here in Canada they are very cold and I tend to sprawl on my sofa to watch TV, propped up on one arm. This winter I bought four much longer tapered wooden sofa legs and switched them with the short ones I had. Why? To raise me even higher from the cold region of the floor. Then I thought, here I am lying on my side, a 'throw' over my legs, picking at some olives in a dish on the coffee table in front of me, a glass of wine in hand, watching Toldinstone and there it was... the antique way of spending an evening!

If I remember rightly, it was found buried under the stairs in a temple. Clearly a mark of disrespect to a hated foreign ruler. Others (without stuck-on eyes) have been found in an English river-bed: possibly a donation to the gods from a British or Saxon raider.

Imagine playing "cheerleader" for a war where both sides are horrible and evil. Imagine diluting yourself in to believing that one side is "good" and the other 'bad' as if you were a child playing cops and robbers. But the government, a notoriously untrustworthy entity, told you that Ukraine were good guys? I remember in the 1980s when that same government said that the Saudi freedom fighter Osama bin Laden was a good guy too.

A fantastic video! Big fan of your work, though I believe this is my first time watching a video from you 'Scenic Routes' channel. If I may give a small critique, however, if you have more plans on doing sort of "guided walkthrough tours" like this, would be to invest in a cheap lavalier microphone. It would improve the levels between your voice and the sound around you greatly. I am not sure of your camera setup, but many have a wireless receiver that can clip to the camera, with the transceiver and microphone proper being worn on your belt and lapel/shirt neck hole respectively. If your current setup doesn't support that, than a separate recording device with a lavalier mic would also work wonders on audio quality, though for higher cost since its two pieces of kit instead of one. Sorry if you already know this, I just hope this would help if you did not!
