She has been studying her enemies.

The maintenance men came to my office and have constructed for me a kind of marvellous altar to tea-making.

Doing this printing course has been one of the best things I have ever done.

We are just so astoundingly fortunate to have the Historical Printing Room at Cambridge University Library. I have enjoyed doing the course so, so, much and learned so much. This morning, I took delivery of a second-hand Adana press.....

Much of my life at the moment involves applying copious amounts of WD-40 to the rusty bits of the press in between meetings.

Some nice news!

Back in the print room making some flyers for the Selwyn College open days next week.

Every day I get a little closer to successfully fitting these rollers to the press. Yesterday, I also shut my own fingers in the press and stabbed myself in the hand with a screwdriver. Progress?

Open Day at Selwyn College, and I am distributing the flyers I hand-printed.

Beautiful Min in a reflective mood.

Read too much Wolf Hall before bed and dreamed that my sister was harbouring heretics in our spare bedroom.

I was careless with the gold printing ink and have burnished myself

I love printing and I love my office print shop.

I really like teaching and getting quite emotional about how much I love the rhyme royal stanza.

Well it is a very grey and Mondayish sort of Monday, but I do have some very shiny new type.
