Have I reached some kind of academic milestone by genuinely spending a few hours panicking over a deadline for a thing I'd already submitted and had forgotten I'd finished?

Latest rose to open, I utterly adore this one. It's called 'Gorgeous', and I think it definitely lives up to its name.

Had a blast at day 1 of #aheconference25, spoke about GenAI podcasts as formative feedback on draft assessments and as opportunity for dialogue, seemed to go down well. A sold out room, in any case!

Thoroughly enjoyed this session today!
Today I was in the esteem company of @profsallybrown.bsky.social and @kaysambell.bsky.social and we led a Master Class at #aheconference25

I've missed quite a few #RoseWednesday pictures so here's 'Churchill' to make up for it.

This is utterly hilarious, but it's also a brilliant example of how *everything* is now tacitly an advertisement, even if you already own the thing they're trying to sell. Your 'brushing experience' - it's like they can't help themselves.

I think my cat instinctively knows that I am going out all day today, and is acting up by throwing up in SEVEN (7) different places, and then staring at me insolently as if to say 'are you sure you got them all? Because I'm not.'

It's #RoseWednesday and, in a very happy coincidence, my first rose of the year has opened up today - Desdemona. It smells beautiful!
