That's another one dropped off at Uni and my second son moved up to Scotland. Astrophysics at Edinburgh University

Ok, now this is a wild request! I am working on a community newsletter for North Banbury, it's the best one around (honest). We are looking for recipes to add and as Gordon Ramsey lived down the road and went to the local school it would be amazing if he would contribute to the Christmas edition.

Thanks to @avatarofsleep.bsky.social I looked up and read this great @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com essay:

Having just returned to Atlanta from 9 days in London. It hits hard.

Hi all. This may seem like a daft post but here goes. I am looking for extra work, not the get rich quick kind, proper work that I can do from home. A bit about me: I am a 51 year old mother of 4. I currently run a community centre with a friend where we rent out rooms for events and run our own....

Buying books; does anyone else a problem with buying books? I mean like buying too many books. I am running out of shelf space. They (the books) have gone from vertical to horizontal to squeeze as many in as I can. But, post point is: Is it bad to purchase so many books from charity shops? .......

Happy Exciting News; We have decided to move from Oxfordshire to Bonnie Scotland next year. It will be bitter sweet leaving my community centre behind where my friend and I have set up the Banbury Baby Bank, Banbury School Uniform Exchange, Mental Health groups, Newsletters, Fun Events.....

I have been lucky to get a ticket to see @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com in Oxford on June 12th but one of my friends hasn't so if anyone with a ticket is unable to go please let me know. Thanks.

I got a bit bored at work this week. While the cats away etc, etc.

My daughter in law went on search of the Aurora in Helensburgh and found her over the Clyde.

I've not had much luck with the Aurora this evening.

A little walk around my local area in North Oxfordshire.

Popped into Oxford today to my favourite #Oxfam #bookshop.
I'm currently studying Classical Studies with Creative writing with the #OpenUniversity but deferred my creative writing to next year. I struggled with the life writing bit before so bought This Boy which is set where I grew up.

Thought I'd share this. My cousin contacted me yesterday with this info (in link). I have worked with two women who are descendants of Admiral Collingwood and I'm a Gilliland. We do community work, setting up baby banks etc naheritage.co.uk/stories/bryc...

I was really hoping to see @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com next month in Oxford but all the tickets were gone within 15 minutes of being released. If anyone has two tickets and decides they can't go please let me know: Tolkien Lecture on Fantasy Literature 2024: Neil Gaiman | Pembroke college (ox.ac.uk)
