Whatever my professional academic achievements or failures in 2024, my great leisure-time success was reading 92 books. I discovered audio books last year, which helped. I always make time for books
A Storygraph infographic featuring my 2024 wrap up - number of books read was 92, pages read was 29,321, hours listened was 234. Top genres were historical, fantasy, mystery, thriller and crime. A Storygraph infographic of all the books I gave 5 stars to in 2024

Adventures today up to Nottingham Trent Clifton campus to see old friends and deliver a seminar on co-design/participatory research and finding meaning in physical activity. Lots of excellent questions to help with the next stages of this project

Also at Igniting Creative Methods... World Cafe discussions with posters of our key points. The 'Case of Ethics' which helps participants understand consent, anonymity, academic writing etc away from the incomprehensible consent form. Images/things that define your research. Comics as dissemination.

A few more pics from Friday's Igniting Creative Methods event here at the University of Bedfordshire - I led a session on sandboxes. Good for those who might think they are not creative (e.g. drawing would be too much pressure)... tactile, fun, meaning-generating. Toy collection is ongoing!
