It's a joy that BlueSky is taking off in Autumn over here in the UK.

Here's one of my favourite fungi, spotted last year. These tiny pink beauties are evading me so far this season.

#fungifriends are they Rosy Bonnets?

I’ve just dropped back here on BlueSky 🦋 and hello! It’s been busy!

I post about communication and conversation analysis, and my research on interactions with children, youth justice, and medical encounters.

I also share events at Loughborough University, and my love of fungi and painting. 🍄
