Very happy to have finished the delightful train book I've been translating for the past 5 mths, just in time for my Christmas deadline :-) @QuercusBooks Loved the research rabbit holes and looking forward to ticking lots of new trips off my bucket list! #xl8

You have to love a translation with a roadrunner in it - géocoucou in French apparently. Who knew?! #xl8 #lovemyjob

I’ve always heard it as snurgling - NW England 🥰

When the book you're translating mentions a tiny bakery in Chicago that you happen to have visited - the Doughnut Vault - best doughnuts ever! #xl8 Now I want one...

Sadly not as I’m hoping to go to the ATA Conference in Boston - but hopefully the following year! I seem to be in a 2-year cycle for MET…

I've finally found time to write about the excellent #METM24 conference in Carcassonne: clairecoxtranslations.wordpress.com/2024/11/10/sto… #xl8 #cpd

As I contemplate scattering my parents’ ashes this weekend, this post really struck a chord. Thank you 💕

Me too, I couldn’t bear to live somewhere the same all the year round!

Good for the soul!

Garden still looking good from my bedroom window this morning! Rudbeckias and asters going strong but the grasses and autumn foliage are starting to come into their own #inmygarden

I noticed the cat content - shhh, don't tell Leo (my springador)! He already spends far too much time trying to peer into next door's garden to spy on their four cats 🙄

Taking my first tentative steps here after 10 years on the other place - can other translators suggest who I should follow?! #xl8 #translators

Thank you - early days, but so sick of the algorithms on the other place!

Baby steps! Still trying to work out who's on here and who to follow! Doggie pictures to follow when I know what I'm doing😀
