I read this and enjoyed it and then I read a review that said it's designed to be read twice (it's 47 pages) and it's true and was even better the second time.

I don't think this is helping the Cairngorms case 😅

Obsession continues w/ requested updates. Analysis by user rating & no of people who have climbed each Munro, non-natural features (bothy, toilet) & the "best" & "worst" Munros.

Did I get obsessed with the Munro #TidyTuesday and go on a @walkhighlands.co.uk deep dive (gratefully with their consent)?

Yes.

Did I have to migrate my website from Hugo to Quarto to make interactive plots work?

Yes.

Was it worth it?

Yes.

First Murakami novel, he is a bit weird isn't he. I thought it was excellent but also it took me longer to read than it should given the length so it gets docked a star for not compelling me to read.

Ridiculous but fun. Should have been 100 pages shorter as usual.

as long as you didn't berserk straight up. The ridge was also not exposed (it is long, so was worried I was in a state for hours) and the walk itself is varied with excellent views (those 1st summit in cloud).

⛰️Ben Cruachan & Stob Daimh (#57-58). I was worried about these to point of budgeting time for a panic attack, but like much of life the thought of it was worse than actually doing it. There's a slabby bit that was described in some reports in such a way that it sounded scary but was entirely fine..

Always impressive to read an educational RCT and I'm immediately interested in anything that frames lecture attendance through a lens of self-regulation rather than punitive attendance policies or removing recordings.

I am very glad I discovered Diablo after I got promoted because I looked up and I had been playing for 4 hours this morning.

She is a barbarian berersker because of course she is.

Beautiful. Written in 2019 but has an extra kick reading about automation in the age of AI.

1st summit in fog but stunning views of the Cobbler at 2nd. Without Kathleen to remind me to take a break I tend to berserk my way up & my legs currently hate me. Last 6k or so on a gravel road, which was quick, if uninspiring. Route from @walkhighlands.co.uk

Planned a munro today but my wife woke up a bit run down but I was in the "I need to see mountains again Gandalf" zone, so with wifely blessing (I didn't just abandon her), I took myself up a couple of Corbetts, The Brack and Cnoc Còinnich. An almost scramble ascent in places and then pathless bits.

Very taken by this on supporting education-focused academics through lens of self-determination theory. I've seen 1st-hand the impact giving people some degree autonomy over their workload can have, even if they can't change total, having some say in what it involves is very powerful #AcademicSky

This was a reread and I enjoyed it a lot more on the 2nd round. I think it's one of those that benefits from reading a review before you go into it. Also, completely batshit.

I am also easily influenced . This will be my first half marathon, every time I've thought about doing a half I get injured. Will this time be different? Let's find out.

What do you mean, how I am reacting to turning 40, it's fine.

Have read none of this other books (I know) I suspect there are layers to this that have passed me by but regardless, this is a wonderful short book on running and Getting Better By Just Keeping Going

I have never been prouder of myself than when during a ceilidh, assigned as the man, I had to take the hand of the man next to me and instinctively flipped his hand into the submissive position #BigTopEnergy.

What was new to me was the full digital skills framework, with foundational skills, life skills, and skills for work which I think are a very useful framework for guiding induction and employability activities and/or for students self-reviewing their own skills.

I am very angry.

I'm angry that the most left wing choice of government we have is the most anti-lgbt government since Thatcher.

I'm angry at Wes Streeting for killing trans people.

I'm angry at Bridget Phillipson for reintroducing Section 28.
