In that case a) how fantastic and b) sounds exhausting, good planning with the nap.

Undefined timescale makes it a bit tricky to make a call about this list of achievements. I mean, if it’s 2026 so far…

I think it’s actually the rules. Donated items must be replaced by immediate shopping.

Well that was nice to be woken up at 7.30am by the chanting from the queue waiting for the ‘spoons to open. I know it’s an early kick off, but seriously?

Thank you :) we’re Uni side of town. Got snacked up at 8th Day as soon as we arrived yesterday evening.

Any tips for finding good not-chain coffee and maybe a vegan pastry in Manchester please? #britsoc26 (I wish we were in Edinburgh as originally planned)

Screenshot of BBC Sport story about the Hundred auction reading “The Welsh Fire have splashed the cash at The Hundred men's auction. They beat off five other franchises to get the England wicketkeeper-batter Jordan Cox for £300,000 and also secure the services of Joe Root for £240,000.”

BBC Sport having an almighty smut-off about the Hundred auction.

That’s some brass neck there, Clegg.

Sugary wisdom

Quality teaching materials.

It’s Protest Kitchen week on my vegan studies module 💪 @caroljadams.bsky.social

A load of snowdrops and daffodils on the University of East Anglia campus.

Yes campus, that’s the idea

Well at least all that booing is probably helping Liam Manning feel at home #htafc

That’s a big no to an early night then. Noisy Carrow Road. But happy noisy so far, so that’s nice #ncfc

I grew up in Huddersfield. It’s nice that my brothers have got to see a home win for Liam Manning even if my partner didn’t here in Norwich.

Other half did a thing for the @openuniversity.bsky.social last night and they whacked it online already.

Impressive

But…how? The house kinda shook.

I reckon

What I really want after a long drive back from Yorkshire is a massive sonic boom over my house while I’m resting my eyes. Jeeez.

I’m baffled as to why anyone’s still there (yes, I’m familiar with the excuses. I don’t accept them).

Never ceases to amaze me how utterly wrong telly dramas do Universities. Ep 4 of Lynley just had ‘Norfolk University’ ‘elect’ a Psychology lecturer as their new VC 🤣

It’s a good way of signalling that it’s time for them to leave.

And so to the most satisfying of all post festive rituals: vac-bagging the spare bedding. Suck baby suck.

Quite a bit of Human Geography

As with many corners of sociology, it’s often about finding something to get you rolling and then suddenly there’s a ton of stuff.

Cudworth’s ‘Animal Entanglements’ would be the place to start.

We hadn’t even started drinking at this point either.

I know folk say don’t stick photos of your kids on t’internet but, meh, he’s 35.
Crucially, he’s here ❤️
