Only just met this poem by Raymond Carver, and I'm quite blown away
And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.
The Cyclamen I planted a couple of years ago has finally settled enough to produce some lovely blooms this year 🩷
Signs of Spring 🌱
Penrose paving outside Maths and the sunlight catching the water on the fountain was something truly beautiful to behold in the sunshine on Wednesday this week 🥰
First Marsh Marigold bloom has opened in the pond 💛 a very clear sign of Spring!
The white violets are back 🤍 I love these delicate little flowers
Good grief the sunshine was glorious today - it really did feel like Spring 🐞
Excellent choice! Same for me with both!
Solidarity wrt lack of headspace! Hope you find some soon. I'm re-visiting trusty Vampire Diaries currently.
I was equally impressed by her reading ability you recently posted about 🤣 but I really do think this artwork is *outstanding*
Tiny Dragon is so talented! That is a stunning piece of art! Bravo to her👏👏👏
On yet another dull, grey, rainy day I took the time to appreciate this garden snowdrop 🤍 #glimmers
Gorgeous moss and a very full River Cherwell 💚
An abundance of Snowdrops seen today! 🤍 Top notch #glimmers
A #platypus waddles her way upstream, constantly foraging. As well as using touch to find food, platypus bills can detect the electrical impulses given off by their prey's muscular contractions.

Yesterday was the midway point between the winter solstice & the vernal equinox & today is Imbolc, the pagan celebration of the return of the light. We’re climbing out of winter & the whole botanical calendar (save snowdrops & aconites) is ahead. A very good thought in case you need it today 🌿:
How exciting! Huge congratulations @rossbrooks.co.uk I am 100% confident it is going to be a magnificent read!
Had the enormous privilege of hearing Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe speak at St Hilda's over the weekend. A truly wonderful, moving evening I will never forget.
Excellent news! Delighted to hear this 🦌
He is magnificent! That expression though - I fear your lack of deer snacks resulted in you being quite severely judged 😆
Ugh. Just. No. I can think of so many other places who really do need donations!
Pre-work nature snacks! Flooded fields and puddles make for some gorgeous reflections ❤️
A powerpoint slide with an introduction to EDI as its title, followed by my name Hannah Ravenswood and my job title - EDI Facilitator - Training and Development.
EDI workshop today featured great participant engagement through some thoughtful contributions. Another #LoveMyJob kinda day 😊
Oh @soverybritish.bsky.social I am ridiculously proud of this one! Also. Genius re-naming! Top Biscuiteer is so much better than Top Fan 🤣
Gradient turquoise and green background with two sets of black text, two images of a crow named Rye, and two sets of the great grey owl named Bagel, elf owl named Peanut, great horned owl named Kiwi, and pygmy owl named Coffee. The owls and crow hold spoons in various ways. The first set of the graphic has Rye staying, "EQUALITY IS EVERYONE GETTING THE SAME SPOON, ASSUMING ONE SIZE FITS ALL." All of the owls have the same silver spoon as Rye and aren't satisfied. The second set of the graphic has Rye saying, "EQUITY IS EVERYONE GETTING THE SPOON THAT WORKS BEST FOR THEM AND THEIR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS." All the owls are happy with their unique spoon, Bagel holding a bigger wooden spoon, Peanut holding a smaller sparkly purple spoon, Kiwi holding a bigger mauve spoon, and Coffee holding a little spoon with a light green handle. There is a rainbow infinity sign logo with a black and brown eye in each of the two centers. Under the eyes in pastel brown text reads "Actually" and "Owltistic".
Equity will always benefit disabled people over equality. Equality's default is a society built for non disabled folks only. Equity listens to specific needs and accommodations. 🥄🥄🥄

Oh goodness yes indeed! 😊
So relatable!
Sending you much love and continued healing xx
I think all of The Inklings would have hated it, but yes esp Tolkien!
A magnificently detailed dalek made of snow, complete with sink plunger.
My niece in Stonehaven, near Aberdeen, has made a snow dalek that's featured in the Aberdeen Press and Journal. #proudaunt
