The City of Arts and Sciences. Valencia - Santiago Calatrava's white science-city rose from the drained bed of the river that once destroyed Valencia, and became both the city's proudest icon and its most expensive argument. Eleven years of construction, a €1.2 billion bill, a roof that fell off, a lawsuit against the architect, and a second life as Hollywood's favourite future city. Part of the story told in The Evolution of Valencia. Sources: Wikimedia Commons.
The Booster Catch — SpaceX Starship Flight 5 - October 13, 2024: SpaceX catches a 232-foot Super Heavy booster out of the sky with the launch tower's "chopstick" arms — a first in rocketry, tracked minute by minute from liftoff to splashdown.
D-Day: Operation Overlord - The largest seaborne invasion in history, told hour by hour — the airborne drops before dawn, the five beaches, and the single day that opened the road to liberating Western Europe. All photographs are public-domain (US National Archives / Imperial War Museum). Times shown are local.

The Odyssey - Homer's epic of Odysseus and his ten-year struggle to sail home to Ithaca after the fall of Troy: Cyclopes and sorceresses, the land of the dead, sea-monsters and shipwreck, and a final bloody reckoning with the men who seized his house. Told in the order the story happens, mapped across his legendary Mediterranean wanderings. The years count the decade-long journey home, and images are public-domain classical art. What became of the losing side is told in the companion thread, Troy. Legacy.
Troy. Legacy - Troy lost the war, then spent the next two and a half thousand years quietly conquering Europe. This is the story of the Trojans after the defeat: the refugees who sailed west, the Roman epic that made Aeneas the ancestor of the Caesars, and the medieval fashion in which Franks, Britons, Normans, Welsh, Icelanders and Venetians all claimed the blood of Priam, because Troy was older, and therefore nobler, than Rome itself. One strand is ancient myth. Almost all the rest is political invention, and each card says which. Companion piece to The Odyssey: the same war, told from the losing side. Sources: Wikimedia Commons. Events before the Christian era are compressed at the head of the thread, and the true date is given in every card title.
The History of Football (Soccer) - How a chaotic village brawl became the biggest game on earth. From Han-dynasty cuju and Florentine street battles, through the London tavern where eleven men wrote the rules in a single evening, to a game watched by half the planet. The closing chapter is about why football, of all the games ever invented, is the one that spread. Sources: Wikimedia Commons. See also the World Cup 2026 timeline.

Sardinia, two weeks - Two weeks driving Sardinia: Cagliari, Su Nuraxi, Bosa, Alghero, La Maddalena and the Gulf of Orosei. Ferry times, what things cost in 2025, and the Cala Goloritzé booking rules, which catch people out.
World Cup 2026 - The first 48-team World Cup, played across 16 cities in the USA, Canada and Mexico. It opened at Mexico City's Estadio Azteca and ended with Spain beating Argentina 1–0 in extra time at MetLife Stadium. Group-stage shocks, all three host nations knocked out, Paraguay dumping Germany out on penalties, and a ten-goal third-place play-off. For the game's whole history, see The History of Football (Soccer).

Vacation in Egypt - Ten days on the Red Sea in April — two of us from home, an all-inclusive bracelet, water the colour of glass, and the best mangoes either of us has ever tasted.
