A fellow who lives in the countryside doing countryside things. Originally studied music, then did a compsci BSc + biomed MSc, then a history BA + a education BA! Reads a lot. Likes baking and cooking. Has chickens and ducks. All in all a bit odd tbh.
I should add that this happened only because the module this belonged to was being done by a different uni who used a different reference style, and I used my standard LaTEX template when writing it and forgot to change the style it used. That was literally it. Not quite “academic misconduct”.

Also why is that “academic misconduct”, you’d think that’d be reserved for, I dunno, cheating? Plagiarism? Having someone else do the work? Not formatting mistakes jeez. I lost marks once because I’d accidental left the text in a link blue. I can’t take it seriously anymore, but hey it’s finished!

It’s when you have started to stack books in front of other books that the thought of “yeah it might be time for another bookcase” makes it’s appearance. Speaking of which I need more shelves.

My first bird of the day… swifts! Two of them! For the first time in, I think, 3-4 years they are back and nesting in an old woodshed in the garden. Thankfully it’s empty so I won’t ever disturb them. Is there anything else I can do to make sure they’re safe, fed, watered, etc.?

How do you do these? I’d be curious to find out how my pronunciations and such line up. Hell, I’d be curious to know what my accent sounds like in general: I’ve had all sorts of assumptions from “you sound English” to “are you from Edinburgh somewhere?” 🤷

Well, thank you again! Likewise a few of my super-specific-history reads of late: The Bedroom by Michelle Perrot, Heart by Sandee Jauhar, As Far as the Eye Can See - A History of Seeing, and Breasts - A Natural and Unnatural history. I have more on the way too.
