Since I'm learning to crochet, I've been going through the rite of passage that is making granny squares. So, other people who can crochet and have presumably also done this, what do I do with them once they're made?!

Today my legs ache 😏
Today is the first time I've walked both to and from the bus to work (since I broke my ankle in November). Tired, but not too badly. Feels like I'm starting to get back to normal 😄

Yesterday was Candlemas, the traditional end of Yule, so we took the Christmas decorations down and made sure we scoffed all the leftover Christmas stuff.🎄
Today I saw the physiotherapist and am feeling quite positive about my broken ankle recovery.🥳

Before Christmas I painted a pot. Today I have made it into work, and collected said pot. So chuffed with how much my nutcracker man looks like Roy Wood 😁

In this new blog series our Senior Research Fellow, Professor Ken Donaldson, explores the toxicology of fashion.
In the first part of the series, he explores the dangers long skirts posed in the 19th century.

These are two of the main things I've been working on for the last few months: historic object records starting to be made accessible to the public, and me waffling on about cool stuff in our collection! 😄 www.mansfield.gov.uk/news/article...

Went to a lovely meeting of the Notts Heritage Forum at St Barnabas Catholic cathedral yesterday. Caught up with some colleagues and had a tour with the conservators who are doing 'wall archaeology' revealing the layers of previous interior design, looking for Pugin's original decorative scheme.
