Brilliant. Love a tangential connection.
Can't help feeling people may be a tad disappointed when they see the state of this poor Anglo-Saxon sword.
Subbuteo prototype?
Ah, what a life.
@superteadrinker.bsky.social Hope you got your dissertation stuff in yesterday and are happier today.
An analogue for 'Don't start a land war in Asia' is 'Don't upset the Quakers.'

Happy World Book Day to me!
Made my lunch this morning; felt virtuous. Walked out the door without it (not for the first time, either). #Hungry
I love that you need this urgently. (I want some, too, but it's definitely not urgent for me.)
Very much looking forward to what will be a lovely way to tie up my time working so closely on such a fantastic MS. There will also be live chant performed by James Preston and Andrew Carwood, including a gorgeous farsed Christmas Epistle.

Cup of tea next to a Peppa Pig spoon.

• community collections and access
• the politics of place and colonial collecting
• repatriation and restitution

• the digital 'place'
A quick note to say that not all strokes present with one-sided weakness. Sudden loss of language with or without headache may be a sign. Important that you communicate what is baseline for the individual or they might ascribe it to other age-related issues.
That's brilliant! (And hello, Cantilupe!)
Why have I given myself so much to do? And more importantly, how will I do it all?
Very worried life is all style, no substance at the moment. Not a nice feeling.

Immensely cheered up by some good news today. And thank goodness, because February has really gotten to me this year.
This cheese is delicious.
Hmmm, I doubt very much that they are!
