Some terrible snaps I took today, but you get the idea.
Currently in the glass corridor gallery in the Sam Alex building, the biblical domestic. I love it. sites.google.com/view/encount...
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has announced he is mobilising the armed forces following an Iranian drone attack on Nakhchivan International Airport, adding that troops βmust be ready to carry out any operationβ.

Weβve done a whole lot at MERIP over the last year that helps explain how we got here.
As the USβIsraeli war against Iran entered its third day on Monday, drawing in at least 12 different countries in the region, the governments of Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan have continued to hedge their bets.

I am wondering what the situation at the border with Armenia is now - I havenβt seen any reports as yet.
So tired. Aiming to be more Cora this weekend.
Accidental radio 2 listening this morning. Iβm not sure why I find βthe piano roomβ so enraging, but I do.
Seems like all is not well at my high school. It was grim in the 90s, but i kind of hoped it had improved. www.itv.com/news/granada...
Important findings here (and sadly no surprise to disabled people or those of us who do casework).
Good to see a mention too of UCUβs event accessibility checklist. Our reasonable adjustment passport has also been helpful for members.

So sorry Katrina. Itβs rubbish always having to question what you do (caffeine, alcohol, food, etc.) just in case it causes a migraine. The triptans are now starting to make me feel nearly as bad as the migraine... I have started printing out everything I need to read, itβs a pain but seems to help.
The funny thing was much of it was about accent, I never had a Rochdale accent - iβd picked up my mums Harpurhey tones! But not Rochdale seemed to equal βposhβ! strange place.
Yep. I was supposedly βposhβ at school because I lived in Bamford and did my homework. When I got to university my suspicion that I was not posh at all, and barely even middle class, was confirmedβ¦
For the first time since I was seven I have a full set of teeth. Getting (fake) canines wasnβt just a vanity project, it was tied to all kinds of trouble with my jaw, so I guess it was worth the six year, painful process. Iβm needle phobic and generally not good with medical stuff so well done me.
Goodwin peddling his venom is the last thing we need round here - Iβm thankfully just over in the next constituency, but a grim prospect nonetheless.
Oops - apostrophe. Excellent editor skillsβ¦
I always try to do this. Sometimes the horribly clunky online portalβs we are forced to use now make doing this seemingly simple task harder!
Obviously about 5 sizes smaller!

CLAUDIA IS WEARING MY JUMPER! This is by far the most significant thing to happen on traitors. (Itβs from Cos).

What kind of idiot makes an appointment for a 3 hour dental procedure on January 2nd? On the bright side only one more to go until this five year long process comes to an end and I finally have a complete set of teeth!
2025 was a strange old year. Hereβs to a better 2026!
Twixtmas, though I only starting hearing this a few years back.
You have probably been round in circles with this already but high dose aspirin and switching triptans broke a similar kind of migraine for me. Hope it eases x
Oh grim, so horrible when they keep bouncing back like that. Hope you get relief soon x
Happy Christmas from the family still unable after 47 years to all look at the camera at once!
Roll on Friday.
This was an excellent way to spend a weekend. Now just four days to go until a week of sleeping as much as I want to.
