Every day in my job is different

I guess this is goodbye, Nottingham Castle Museum & Art Gallery. 💚

I had a fabulous flying visit to The Hepworth Wakefield today to see the Forbidden Territories exhibition 🏞️

Flash forward to today...

I was looking at my pictures from my visit to the Compton Verney last May (a few months after my Birmingham visit) and LOOK WHO IT IS.

I did take a picture of it!! Just a few months later and in a different place!!

This is Convent Thoughts by Charles Allston Collins. I saw it on a recent visit to the Ashmolean Museum. However, I knew I'd seen it at another museum at some point last year.

Spring.

Yet again I am sat here - late at night - using pliers to remove my hearing aid tubing because I've left it too long. Do I ever learn? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I've been blessed 🙏

I've just realised that with the death of twitter, my MA dissertation has aged like milk...

'Tis the nature of academia, I suppose!

Winter opening hours means Bella gets more time for ear scratches in the morning.

I bought myself a coffee and went for a stroll in the local park. Three children were doing somersaults into a huge pile of autumn leaves. Mushrooms had sprouted. Dogs were running about, happy and excited. I felt the cold on my face. The world is still turning, even if everything feels bleak.

Tis the season for vaccuming water out of a cave

How many pairs of gloves do two people need when deinstalling?

The answer is a lot, apparently. The hand sweat was real.

First apple crumble of the season 🍎🍂

Last day at my job spent in a different country and a great museum. Thank you Belfast 💖
