Sharing the academic highs and lows...

Hey look - that's me! Delighted to have been invited to speak to the Manchester Forum in #Linguistics this week

End of work for Christmas when working from home means swapping from screen 1 to screen 2 (and yes my TV is on the floor - my housemate moved out and took the stand with her)

Merry Christmas y'all.
