Since I've been retweeting #shiftingsands things for a while now, here's an explanation of it for anyone interested. I also set up my goodreads page today - goodreads.com/author/show/20…. What's everyone reading atm?

So the other me has published the first wave of the "unstable" e-book, Shifting Sands. That means a big chunk of my PhD is done! The author performance continues, but I'm excited to dive back in to the critical side. It's about time I sorted through my to-read pile

this eternal circle

I just made the most amazing halloumi fajitas. Legitimately may be the best thing I've ever cooked. Why don't I have more of them? 😭

Pro-tip: if you were not smart enough to layer up your factor 50 before sitting in the sun and have turned very red ahead of an event, mixing foundation into your after sun works fairly well. Layering a stick foundation on top is even better. TL:DR I am badly burnt.

Just rewatched everything again to try and narrow down the questions I want to ask. I can't wait for the discussions!

I know it's June but, since we're all loving this Kate Bush revival, can we agree 'December Will Be Magic Again' is one of the best winter songs ever? I *need* it to be available on itunes before the weather gets colder. Listen to this masterpiece: youtu.be/3SldDENZ_jU

Book people, check this out!

My primary responsibility as an auntie is to introduce my two year old nephew to Bohemian Rhapsody and rock around the living room, right? Nephew/auntie karaoke is delightful (for me... Maybe not so much for the neighbours 😂)

well well well if it isn’t me writing all the things from last week’s to-do list on this week’s to-do list

Asda, this is cruel! So many Skinny Whip varieties, but not a Skinny Whip Strawberry (the obvious best choice) in sight. Why did you get me hooked on them last year only to make them vanish?! 😭😭😭

Oh look, it's other me!

Is there some kind of beef with Norway going on that I didn't know about? I didn't expect her to win but definitely feel like the jury vote doesn't seem to match the show I watched! #Eurovision2023

So this is the GIF that comes up when I type in 'Dr Stuart'. I'll take it! Thanks to my amazing examiners yesterday for, from the little I can remember, was a lovely viva experience! I still haven't processed things yet, but is it weird that I'm excited to work on my corrections?

Hi megabusUK, any news on the M66? It should have arrived in Reading at 16.35 headed towards Birmingham, Manchester, and Leeds but is nowhere to be seen. Coach tracker is also not showing it. I want to go home!

Hi megabusUK, travelling Perth to Aviemore today (5.35pm). Where is the best place to stay updated? It'll be cold if we're stuck waiting at Broxden so want to be prepared! Thank you
