#S_T_Gill project bug fix (links to maps). Artworks with ampersand in the title were not linking to #uMap (object name). Replaced ampersand with "and" in webpage html and in uMap content.
Fixed example on 1840s #Adelaide map, "Capt. Frome's & Engineer Barracks": https://coombe.id.au/S_T_Gill/S_T_Gill's_Series_of_Adelaide_Views.htm#47

Weather is a curious prompter of memory, I find. This morning’s weather a reminder of another place and time … Or maybe it’s just unusual weather that does it.

“Frog. The Secret Diary of a Paramedic” by Sally Gould (2025)

Ambos. “Life as a paramedic … can be traumatic, gross, dull, hilarious and magical.” A great Australian read. Just finished (from #LibrariesACT)

I've noticed #TroveAU has recently cut over to using #StateLibraryNSW *new* catalogue. The new catalogue is great. (I transitioned my project.) #ozGLAM

They should heritage list the Belconnen mall carpark. #Canberra

Like, Belco mall is basically as old as I am. It’s been through a lot of changes. The two concrete multi-story carparks attached to the original building are still essentially the same as they always

The Wikipedia page for Belco mall has some critical information. “2009 - Construction begins on the replacement of the mall's original Travelators.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westfield_Belconnen #
