Haha, back in the days when you had to learn html to do it! Kids these days don't know how easy they have it 😄

Yes! A good cake should be moist enough that it doesn't need help by adding a load of icing or buttercream.
Wait, what's that, you can add awful background music to MS Forms?
I could annoy So. Many. People.
Everybody who wants to sign up for data training sessions. Everybody providing feedback on our dashboards. I could strike fear into the heart of anybody contemplating opening up a form I've created.
Ouch ☹️
My jaw gave out a mighty crack last week and I thought I'd broken something. Turns out it had just unclenched and I finally found out what it feels like for the other 99% of people. (It was a lovely 15 minutes of 'normal').
Hope you're feeling better soon.
Oh my goodness she’s beautiful!
Also, universities should look at differences in student performance outcomes for different types of students. If there are performance gaps, it’s likely that there is insufficient support in place. #AutChat
Oh yes, fully agree on tuition. We have funded higher education in Scotland but as a part time student I wasn’t eligible. I only got my second chance because my department at work funded it for me.
(It was a very good investment as I’m now one of their experts in student data over 10 years later).
A5: Big lectures can prove difficult with hundreds of students in the same class. If a class can be delivered online, do it. Make sure that disability support services are easily accessible and that their recommendations are implemented. #AutChat
I found the ‘quiet space’ wasn’t enforced very well but there were little pockets of the campus which tended to be quiet.
A4: I didn’t enjoy my first university experience but came out with some very good friends. The second university was very full on (working full time, studying part time). The lecturers made it worth the effort - I had the privilege of studying under an amazing feminist economics lecturer. #AutChat
Oh definitely. I worked in the student admin office at the same time I was studying. The lecturers often commented that they enjoyed teaching evening classes because the students wanted to be there, and many appreciated that they were getting a second chance at higher education.
A3: Quiet space to decompress.
I love what’s happened to my university since after I finished my degree - they do a lot of widening access work and became the first in the UK to be accredited as ‘autism friendly’. I feel very proud to now work there. #AutChat
Same here - the campus was practically deserted at 6pm, it tended to be mature students in the classes who were easier to communicate with, and only 20 people in a lecture instead of hundreds. #AutChat
I should also mention that I now work at the university in professional services (business intelligence/data analytics).
A2: Getting in was fine as I had good grades from high school. Staying in was the challenge. Everywhere was busy and noisy, and the expectation to listen to lectures without asking questions was difficult. Attempt number 4 at university went much better as it was quieter evening classes. #AutChat
A1: Yes, I tried four times before finally achieving a degree. The first university was terrible - no support and VERY bad advice from my advisor of studies. The next two were the wrong course choice but at the right university, and helped me to find the right course eventually. #AutChat

Quite right. It’s chucky egg and soldiers.
Oh I agree - I’ve had Vegemite once and loved it! Very difficult to get hold of here though 🙁
The ‘Dinner Time (Where’s Our Dinner?)’ EP.
Two dogs sitting on the floor staring intensely at the camera. In front is a black, grey and white Husky, behind is a Dalmatian. Behind them is a desk with synths and speakers and headphones.
That reminds me of when by dogs formed a synth pop duo.
Image of Courtney Cox in the film Scream 3. She has notoriously terrible bangs/fringe in this film.
NB: Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recordings
Oh Mrs Peacock, the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
(Clue: 1 + 2 + 2 + 1)
Bar please!
I always recommend no more than five slices on a donut as they can become difficult to interpret.
Two dogs on a sofa - a Dalmatian and a Weimaraner. The Weim is staring at the television (out of shot in the photo) while the Dal is snuggled into a duvet because she’s seen Clue nearly as many times as I have.
OMG THE PUPPY IS WATCHING ‘CLUE’!!!
(The scene with the dogs at the start of the film).
Get yer tree up where? 😆
(Sorry, not sorry).
It's obviously the day for it today.
This morning we had an all-staff email out for annual leave planning for next year, then this afternoon my sister WhatsApped me to make plans for NEXT BLOODY EASTER!!!
