i'm posting right now because i am just too tired to work. i'm writing this then i shall have another cup of tea, and press on.

i'm tired today, because i finally went to sleep at about 12:30 last night, and i got up at 2:45 to drive to stonehenge for a private viewing (you get to walk among the stones unlike on a normal visit).

the thing that got me (as i wandered around with rampant archaeologists!) is the size of the thing. never mind anything else, and i've seen a few stone circles/henges in my time (brodgar and stenness at easter were new to me) but stonehenge really is massive. it also feels very far removed from avebury, which is just up the road, the landscape and scale are so different. without being all pseudospiritual there really was something special about arriving at 5am and watching the sun rise.

the bacon sarnie on the way back was pretty good too. right tea and then work . ..
