Today I wrote a bit of an article - and watched Barefoot in the Park (1967). Fonda and Redford so incredibly cute in this.

On my way back from Germany - from a #earlymodern mobility history workshop on a very delayed DB train to Amsterdam. Looking forward to crashing on my friend’s couch (at least this hasn’t been a coach or a carriage, rattling on the roads).

An excellent first day of Transient Communities and Spaces of Mobility: Theories, Methods,
and Themes in #EarlyModern Mobilities History (at Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg Delmenhorst, July 7-9, 2025). Tbh travelling by trains for 14hrs yesterday was a bit tough but definitely already worth it. 🗃️

What an incredible and productive week we have had at the @gladlib.bsky.social ! Loads of annotations achieved, a huge chunk of Introduction drafted. Still loads to do mind, but very happy already about the achievements of the ’eldest daughters editing club’.
