After 10 hours' sleep last night and a mug of tea at the daring time of 7.30pm, I am unaccountably wide awake.

In IKEA Oxford Circus and can't decide whether to go East or West. I particularly need Primark and M&S but this doesn't help.

Just seen my supervisor who thinks it's OK but we're looking into a short extension (basically to the end of the year, which was when I thought I was handing in by until I double checked and discovered it was September)

Then she called my mum in to have a go at her for giving me overly complex books, which I couldn't possibly understand. My mum was also very confused.

Teacher was convinced I'd just watched the TV version (which I didn't know existed). For some reason she didn't ask Snow White if she'd read it in the original German or just seen the Disney film.

I got into trouble at my school book week in 1987 (wbd hadn't been invented) for dressing as Laura Ingalls because I 'couldn't have read it' but no-one queried the presence of Superman. Still fummin

I cannot explain "short presentation from special guests" after dinner. I'm hoping for a song and dance routine from the staff at Wycliffe Hall, but fear I am setting myself up for disappointment.

Free day place for a student at the theology libraries conference. If you want it I thunk it's there for the taking (sudden readvertisement 20 days before conference suggests lack of applications...)

I was following advice/nagging from a friend. Believe me she has received a strongly-worded WhatsApp.

Good morning from your local flasher*

*decided to go swimming before work, joggers had poor grip on shiny swimsuit material, long story short my trousers fell down** outside the local primary school at kiddy-drop-off-time***

**to hip level, and I was wearing swimwear underneath

***Exercise is bad

No, I mean it's better hidden. Most architecture that won awards in the 60s is better hidden.

It won awards in the 60s. So yes.

As a librarian I have to disagree. Citations, grammar correcting, pedantry. Top 5 best!

She is definitely not ready to hear about people hiding drugs and guns in the long grass (tbf that's not the problem it used to be)

Yes, person who lives in the posh houses on the adjoining street, they were pretty, but usually common folk do actually have to use that path to get to the road, and we prefer to dodge the smallest number of rats. Sorry if that's a downer.

And someone is trying to fight with me on a community WhatsApp because they asked why the council mowed down some wild flowers last year but didn't like my answer (it's where the rats live)
