Did anyone watch Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein? 👀
We didn't. We were too busy reading our 1831 edition which is from the Charles Lamb Society Collection (shelf mark: NO 1 IN CLS 1322). #Frankenstein

Extremely useful supervision session today that helped to move things on in my own mind. It’s strange how things you’ve been grappling with for months suddenly become obvious when you explain them to someone else. #phdchat

Out harvesting this morning. Looks like we’ve dug up the last of the salad potatoes but the tomatoes are still going strong. Turning this lot into chutney this afternoon. 🌱

The first of this year’s garden harvest. These became courgette fritters but there are no photos of those because they turned into a courgette fritter/stir fry/hash monstrosity. Still, the potatoes were great!

Well, it’s not very seasonally appropriate, but I have finally broken out of my knitting slump! Only needing to complete one item definitely helped here (looking at you, single sock drawer). 🧶

Visited the National Library of Wales this morning with my rare books group. Many thanks to the staff there for talking to us about the collections and their role as rare book librarians. Always nice to see a Caxton! 📚

First stop on our London study tour for the Aberystwyth archive students is to the Rothschild Archive for Business Archives Day. Really looking forward to catching up with colleagues again and such a great day for the students. Thanks to everyone involved.

Heading down to London for our annual postgraduate #ils library/archives tour. So far there is a surprising lack of chaos on the trains. Keeping fingers crossed for the rest of the week 🤞
