So another weekend studying for me - the OU system tells me I'm 94% through Year 2 of my Prof Doc. After just submitting a large piece of work and 'only' having a 15k word proposal and a poster left, I'm sitting here wondering just how much I've written in the last year 🤯📝

Most people I work with know how hideous my diary is and I often suggest they get in early if they need a meeting - but I've just had a meeting invite for the 11 December and I'm not sure how I feel about it....

Tonight we are lighting the Library of Birmingham purple to mark #HolocaustMemorialDay and pay tribute to those who lost their lives – and those who survived– in the Holocaust and all genocides around the world.

You can #LightTheDarkness by safely placing a candle in a window at 8pm. #HMD2025

So I've arrived here professionally, going to shut down by X profile soon but I'm conscious there are a number of people who aren't on here - will have do some encouragement in getting them on here. Also need to find some new followers ☺️
