Sundays are for rediscovering the joy of bouncing a tennis ball off your bedroom wall. When’s the last time you bounced a ball? I recommend it. Sometimes I play a game with myself where I say “if I bounce and catch this ball 10 times in a row, I will win a million pounds”. Then I get to five and hit myself in the face. Every time. If you are able to accomplish this seemingly impossible feat, please let me know your secret after reading the below collection of interesting articles and fiction.
Somewhere south of Paris, a bunch of carpenters, painters, blacksmiths, basket weavers, historians, and archaeologists have spent almost 30 years building a castle, the way people built castles in Olden Times. Ben O’Donnell has written it all up for Archaeology Magazine, with some sexy fortification photography. I know there are medieval masonry nerds in the RPS readership. Get in there and set ’em straight. I’m sure you could have had that castle up in six months, with enough cash left over to declare war on Belgium.
