The tyranny of the blank page as I start a new thesis chapter. At last a start has been made!

My University is planning to cram 130 humanities/arts PGRs with their own desks into this office which has desks for 30 and which has multiple outstanding H&S defects. We are told it’s all about building community. Yeah right!

These had been tough days. Just as they would be when your basic rights have been stripped away and the legal protections you had are made worthless.
Many people have reached out and stood up. Thank you everyone for your love and support. Dark days but you bring light and human decency.

Special to be able to share my research with the Thornley Local History Group on Tuesday evening. I was a little nervy as I was talking about their township and the audience's ancestors!

No need, the reception was warm and I was amazed by the size of the audience and their interest in my work.
