While we're all waiting to see how things pan out - both the development of the elections in the US of A, and the development of the pandemical numbers now that restrictions are in place about everywhere in Europe - here are a few things to keep you amused, occupied, or distracted:

I've recently discovered that Eventbrite offers a lot of events (oh thank you Captain Obvious), including quite a lot of free ones where you can join and enjoy a show, or listen to an academic talk, or take part in a course to learn something. Some universities run their course bookings via Eventbrite, too. You can check out the portal here; a search for "archaeology", for instance, gave me 14 pages of hits with events from a flintknapping demonstration to info about aerial archaology.

Alex Makin has a new installment on her blog "Early Medieval (Mostly) Textiles - Christina Petty talks weaving 2/1 twill on a warp-weighted loom here.

If all that is not enough, there's more: The Being Human Festival is also offering a number of events online, with all kinds of different things from quizzes to films, from many different disciplines within the humanities.

Enjoy!
