A visit to Winchester to finally say hi to Austen 🤍 of course had to buy the overly touristy Austen scarf, because I fear I'm the main target audience 🫡

My grandad's favourite tea being in the cupboard of the flat is cute because I know he'd have been SO excited for me to be here...
Today's Chawton snippets (I'll stop doing this soon I promise but I still can't believe I'm here 🤣)

Had such fun sharing my spooky research today at the Spooky History conference! There is nothing spookier, after all, than being chronically ill 🤣
Also a fantastic paper from @ornamh.bsky.social too on the Paris Catacombs, so fascinating! ☠️

My research into a review or advert for John Hartley's book Seets i' Blackpool has so far been fruitless, but I have found 3 seperate adverts of him talking about Veno's cough medicine... This might end up being the topic of my flash talk with @ehunineteen.bsky.social in December if all else fails 😂

My first BARS @bars.bsky.social conference at Trinity Hall College was absolutely wonderful! A lovely couple of days getting know other postgraduate and early career researchers, and listening to a variety of fascinating papers/panels
A huge thank you to the organisers ☺️ @bars-ecrs-pgrs.bsky.social

Despite the pain in my shoulder from the gas and the pain of the incisions, I've had no leg/hip/sciatic pain for the first time in two years (only talking 2 days here and on lots of pain meds so...) but normally nothing really helps much. If it's been a cyst all along that would explain a lot!

Laparoscopy was rough yesterday. Very grateful to a specialist who excised all endometriosis found (and found a cyst on my right side!) Felt (and was) very sick afterwards and had very low blood pressure, so ended up spending nearly 12 hours in the hospital in total.

Vampires & chronic illness/endometriosis is my niche at this point (other than Austen) so this feels very me in one picture ✨️
Given my second laparoscopy is a week on Monday, I'm even more excited to read Endometriosis 💗

My paper went SO well I think (I hope, I haven't been told otherwise 🤣)
It's been fun wearing some very snazzy outfits too, today's being a cosplay of Mr Knightley's strawberries

Reading Jane Austen on the way to Southampton for the Global Jane Austen conference feels very fitting (a bit annoyed at my project gutenberg epub for having the wrong Austen spelling but...) #globaljaneaustenconference #janeaustenjuly

Sat and read my kindle in the garden today - with factor 30 suncream on, under an parasol, listening to the neighbour's grandson screaming...
It looks nice anyway!

Happy Pride Month! Here's a sonnet from Wordsworth being a (questionable?) ally - about the Ladies of Llangollen, Lady Eleanor Butler and Sarah Ponsonby who were clearly just very 'good friends'...

Can officially add 'women's health advocate' to my CV now ✨️ (but endometriosis doesn't just affect women - includes all who were assigned female at birth, and also (cis) men need to know about it too!!) Happy early international women's day 💛
