A delightful break from Bank Holiday decorating with a takeaway and BBC Snooker 😊 next year we may treat me to a chair too! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Ended up with Covid, thought I’d use the day to start watching Inside No. 9 and cheer myself up a bit. Eeeeerm! 😬

Just asked my husband if I can have one at the end my my PhD. He thinks a letter opener is safer, making me wonder if all my murder books have him paranoid…?

Timeless

“So who are you going on holiday* with?” “Julian Barnes, George Orwell and three girls I met at Uni” “Right…” *friendly reminder to fellow PhD students: you’re allowed to take annual leave and spend time with loved ones/doing awesome things/doing nothing/eating cake

#PlatinumPartyatthePalace viewing party is mainly “who is that?” And googling the ages of the acts

They’re here 😍 Order your Commonwealth Games 2022 coin now➡️ museum.west-midlands.police.uk/product/challe… @CG2022_WMP

Midlands-based people listen up! I cannot recommend this highly enough, you *will* be treated to an insightful and fascinating evening, in one of Brum’s best buildings! What’s not to love?! 🤩

Reading through and doing fairly well until Qu VI.10. On reflection, ‘____ & Judy’ is unlikely to be ‘Richard’ 🤦🏻‍♀️

Always exciting to spot a physical copy of Lore Olympus in the wild! These are in Waterstones Wolverhampton (Wolverhampton, UK). You’ve reached far and wide RachelSmythe @ Lore Olympus! #loreolympus #NewRelease #hotoffthepress

Spotted a #CWG2022 sculpture in Brum today! 🤩 A few familiar features… Old Joe Uni of Birmingham #CommonwealthGames2022

Not really feeling Proclamation trumpets at this time of the morning… #caturday

2006 doc on the 3 day week, with Philip-Glenister-sort-of-as-Gene-Hunt narrating. Inflation, strikes, power cuts and suggestions like newspaper beneath bed sheets for warmth are presented as an absurd nightmare lived through by an unlucky generation. Hmmm. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

A fabulous end to a day in Birmingham, with a beautiful carol service from @UoB_Chaplaincy - Old Joe still looking like #coldjoe !

#AcademicTwitter Some assistance with terminology needed please! The following types of page appear in sequence in a number of text. I think B is a 'frontispiece' and C is a 'title page' but then, what is A called? (source: archive.org/details/dli.gr…)

If any crime academics are still roaming the ether on here (christopherpittard.bsky.social, Victoria Stewart, @samfordsaunders?) are you aware of a collection holding the magazines in the image below & may allow a friendly PhD researcher to view them? They are all 'destroyed' at the BL...!😱 thank you!
