#AcademicArchers That’s today at 10am.

If you’re in the UK and feel sleep-deprived, you are.

I was swithering between ordering #TheFrozenPeople or waiting until the price came down or I got it through the library.

Then I discovered it had arrived in my Audible library today! Grateful to past me for pre-ordering it and looking forward to this new series.

They do indeed. We have a fab 81yo warden who has stayed on at least two years longer than she planned but def plans to step down in April.

She also is an amazing baker - our congregation shared her Christmas cake this morning in addition to home made mince pies.

Enjoying the Bluesky Roaster website which analyses your Bluesky activity and produces a tongue in cheek summary. I am thrilled to be:

@cilip.bsky.social I was slightly distracted during the #CilipAGM as the greyhound is no longer used to me attending daytime Zoom meetings and alternated between nudging me at the laptop and sighing loudly!

Yay! The latest Rebus. Do I savour it after a two year wait to find out what happens or just listen as fast as possible? 1/2

It’s Friday - back in the day we had #FollowFriday on Twitter and daft email threads on lis-link. What might we do on here?

Here’s a #greyhound in a #cuddlepillar if you need something cute to get you through the last working hours of Friday:

It has been tough, but life happens. Fortunate in having support from husband, friends and family and church. Plus the best greyhound in the world.
