Watching Long Way Home reminiscing about being in Peru last year and realising that this is the longest I have stayed in the country since 2013 😩

This is so sad. Erasmus changed my life and I know so many people who would say the same 😭

On this weekend last year, I went to a friend’s birthday lunch and then a charity poker night. The following day I went out for a pub lunch with my in-laws. Then we went into lockdown and I think I probably saw more people that weekend than I have in the whole year since 🤷‍♀️

I know everyone is excited about pubs but this weekend I hugged my (fully vaccinated) mum and read my nephew a bedtime story for the first time in over a year 🥰 It’s the little things!

The PGT task group are all ready to present at #AGCASAC21 Looking forward to our workshop!

Thanks Julie Blant 🥰 It has been great to be part of such a lovely group of Graduate Futures Institute members over the years and you’ve done a wonderful job of leading the group. Will miss you all!

The aforementioned tiny human arrived on 23rd September 🥰 so grateful for the staff at Leicester's Hospitals who looked after us so well.

Sure, I’ll put my mask on when I arrive at the hospital having contractions and when waddling from my hospital bed to the toilet having just had major surgery to give birth but Boris can just tuck his tie in 🙄

Today’s parenting first: I have vomit on my calf

For anyone panicking about queues at Birmingham airport Birmingham Airport it’s really not bad! Half an hour to check in, drop bags and clear security today.

Great historical question from Anna Flatt: ‘Is this the first time we’ve had a new Monarch and PM in the same week?’ #QueenElizabeth

Lovely to be on campus for Welcome Week 😍 It’s my 3rd September at UoB but my first on-campus welcome due to the pandemic and the fact that this time last year I was in labour… not sure how I have an almost 1 year old!

This 👇 Nursery costs almost as much as our mortgage, and that’s with me working part time.

Great part-time job opportunity for a current PGR student at UoB, supporting other students with their employability as part of the @careerspg team: edzz.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat….

Really inspiring day at UK Council for Graduate Education conference on PGT education today at Uni of Nottingham #WeAreUoN Couldn’t help but notice the regularity and timeliness of the Trent building clock tower though - I’m looking at you Old Joe 👀

Hey CrossCountry Trains think you need more carriages on the 7.42 Hinckley to New Street. No apology/explanation for the overcrowding or the fact that we arrived 10 mins late. Overheard member of staff ‘if you keep pushing, at what point does it become unsafe?’ 😳
