'Why isn't it open journals Sarah' well reader: We're trying to encourage our researchers to think outside of the journals box ( of course we're 'doing Journals' too!) - I've had some very encouraging conversations with academics here at Oxford - Turns out some key research isn't in an article!

With thanks to @oipassoc.bsky.social , @tmorley24.bsky.social, @cathdishman.bsky.social and Rebecca Wojturska (can't find her on here) for all the sharing of methods etc and @pkp.sfu.ca for all their patience and expertise about OJS.

If only I could knit - Of course she made them herself!

Their jumper 😍

I don't know if you're into anime or manga but Naoki Urusawa's 'Monster' (either version is good but I believe the anime is still on Netflix somewhere) is a great thriller/crime series. I can't describe much without spoiling it though. Suffice to say it is about serial killers.

I would always disconnect ANY of the NSFW bits of the Greek gods because most of them have... unsavoury connotations (why I always get a chuckle as a Classics BA grad. when someone uninformed uses a comparison like 'I'm kingly like Zeus' and I always remember the swan thing.)

Blatant Hestia suppression!

I use P20 on my face but Ultrasun on my body - I found Ultrasun doesn't leave the yellow-y stain that P20 does. Trail tested hiking Hadrian's wall - no burns for me!

It's been a long dream of mine to own Herugrim in a 'good' replica but I've yet to find one that meets my persnickety standards.

And yes, never in front of mum... unless in conversation with Dad who has more of a cockney Essex accent than I do.

As a bonifide Essex lass in possession of that specific secondary accent I would be happy to train you in its use in English.

Two: One 'come and get it - roast leg of insurance salesman - *family goes yum yum* (Flanders and Swann) and the rice pudding song that I didn't realise was from the old Bazaar in Cairo until I was a LOT older. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjAH...
