Went to the Suriname pavilion at Osaka Expo solely for @siobhanh.bsky.social - the guy staffing it was very surprised when I said I know someone from there!

Now that CALC's all sorted I'm changing career to F1 mechanic*

At Gillian's session, really looking forward to it! Finally met Gillian last night, I've read her work about reading lists so was good to tell her that. #LILAC25

Feel like #LILAC25 has been unofficially sponsored by Greggs

Did not know you can use Padlet for polling! #LILAC25

Made it for a quick run around the miners strike exhibition at lunch, did not have enough time but got this magnet! #LILAC25

The accessible seating vs fear of heights equation has actually worked out fine! Thanks for the tip @manclibrarian.bsky.social #LILAC25

Never not totally foxed by escape room puzzles. Always the least useful person on your escape room team 😂 #LILAC25

#LILAC25 attendees, me and @patchedelbows.bsky.social have some #CALC25 stickers on us. If you'd like one, let us know!

Would like a number of words with whoever designed this nightmare

First two staff I saw at #LILAC25 greeted me by (full) name, you don't get that at other conferences

Alas have missed most of the @infolitgroup.bsky.social webinar this afternoon due to two fire alarms, consoling myself with a mini cupcake.

Reading this cos I'm at my mum's house and it was the closest thing to hand. Can confirm that reading a whole book formatted as emails between characters is really fucking annoying.

Diet coke disappointment aside, I did get this "family" bag of M&M's. My family being me.

I went to Iceland last weekend and did you know that it's ridiculously beautiful? Also I got to see the latest volcanic eruption and turn around to see the aurora borealis. Stunning!

Did they make this Christmas deco specifically for @sluginkpress.bsky.social ? 🤔

Highly recommend buying yourself a silly little treat today. I just got my new pal Bret, who has already cheered me up on such a gloomy afternoon!

Teaching automotive engineering students this morning so going with a lightly themed "Lando! Lando, we could be world champions!" outfit. Thinking about throwing out the library content and just discussing yesterday's race.

ANYWAY, it was nice to have a day off HE, go to the Libraries Change Lives reception and have a chat with lovely people. Bobby Seagull is much smaller IRL.

Slightly concerned that there are some life belts floating down the Thames...
