It's been a while since I last used my external CD drive. Wondering if this is deliberately ironic.

Hello #Plymouth, can anyone tell me the current state of John Foulston's mad #Egyptian style Oddfellows Hall? I read the roof collapsed in 2021 - has it been repaired? This for an album update for the equally mad @LandmarkTrust #EgyptianHouse in Penzance! @HistoricEngland SW?

More Mrs #Coade - her Farnese Flora, this one usually tucked away in a college garden. #InternationalWomensDay
A female entrepreneur and pioneering craftswoman in Georgian London. For International Women's Day 2025, St John's celebrates Eleanor Coade, whose statue of the goddess Flora stands in the President's Garden. 🔗 https://t.co/TOtDGTpsAr

I wonder where else the redoubtable Mrs #Coade will pop up this #InternationalWomensDay, supreme example of female entrepreneurship in the 18th century. The great architect John Soane called her fired artificial stone 'Coade's marvel.'
Happy International Women's Day! To celebrate, we are making Caroline Stanford's talk on Eleanor Coade and her London manufactory available to watch here: https://t.co/ViJQOUX1SY
