The Ness Time Capsule….…Skaill Farm, Rousay……They Can’t Clone You!....

The Ness Time Capsule….….
I’ve been thinking of what I’d like to see go into the Time Capsule when the Ness of Brodgar is in-filled. I have absolutely no say in the matter – this is just me – rambling on.
As well as the cards with messages from folk who are interested in The Ness – I’d like to see……
A copy of the EOASSK …

Ours was made by Joan Rodwell…
One of Chris Gee’s carved stones..
One of Jeanne’s small Ness paintings….
A small thermos flask – all those Digger’s lunch-breaks! Maybe filled with bits of paper with Digger’s names on? Where would the dig have been without them?
I’ll interject my Digger’s Prayer….
The Digger’s Prayer
Lord grant that it may not be wet,
Oh, please, Lord, keep it dry.
And may the wind be of the kind,
That gently whispers by.
Let Nick, and Martin, Dan, and Mick,
All be in a good mood.
And let some friendly person,
Turn up with yummy food.
Oh, let me be the one to find,
The ‘find’ that’s Number One,
And let me come back to the Ness,
Each year, ’til digging’s done.
Amen.

And finally – Nick Card’s ‘Indiana Jones’ hat – an icon of the dig – but I don’t have a pic!

Skaill Farm, Rousay….

There has been a lot going on there, for a long time….

I’m thinking of the Vikings over there on Rousay – just across the water from our neighbour Sweyn Asleifsson on Gairsay…

Did they go visiting?

They Can’t Clone You!....
Apparently, Facebook profiles are being ‘cloned’ – polite term for stolen.
I’ve experienced this particular kind of scam. A Facebook ‘friend’ sent me a Message – but it didn’t ring true – the tone wasn’t right - for one thing, it was very short - she doesn’t write short messages! But – if someone was impersonating her, they might think that keeping it short would mean they were less likely to give themselves away.
I contacted a mutual friend and asked if he knew what was going on. He’d had exactly the same message, and told me that her FB profile had been ’stolen’ by someone who was sending out those messages. He advised deleting it and changing my Password, which I did.
Beats me what they get out of doing that – not well people.
My point is – they can clone a person’s page, but they can’t clone their personality. So, if you get a message of any kind that doesn’t ring true – don’t respond until you’ve checked it out.
They can clone your page
But they can’t clone you
Be on your guard
If it don’t ring true.
