All of my New Year's Resolutions just come down to, "Act like a damn grown-up, will ya?"

Almost 40mins of fire works They finally seem to stop so put Netflix back on only for them to start up again! And again for the 100th time I question why we even allow members of the public access to something both dangerous and disturbing of fhe peace !

Byeeeeeeeee 2025 I know we are all happy you're gone But if my street could stop wirh the bloody bangs so I can get on with my TV shows. (I fucking hate fireworks for so many reasons)

I am 19 yrs late to the party.... But The Holiday is a well good film innit.

My poor eyesight read that as "read well love" and I was like 😮 how did they know I was a librarian 💀😅😇 Happy Fridays are oat milk hot chocs 😋

I moved over to Tidal end of January after hearing Spotify supported the trump campaign (& considering how much worse Spotify has gotten this yr I'm glad I switched) Altho Tidal def needs to work on it's genre matching. Vemod's album finished & then it sent me to a Green Day song! Very diff vibes!

It genuinely amazes me that so many people don't wear their seat belt on National Express coaches... like you'll don't value your life !? I mean knock on wood nothing happens, but better to be safe? I guess since they never actually enforce the fine for not wearing one people just don't care...?

I remembered why I swapped to trains over coaches the second I could afford it. Not only trains are quicker , the smells and noise from obnoxiously loud phone calls and reels are just heightened on coaches. Gods speed this coach before my good vibes are totally lost to frustration at humanity.

According to the mother, I used to watch this on repeat as a child - it is also the first film I watch in a new flat & I've moved at least 14 times in London alone 🙃 Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

Aquarium visit in December? What a perfect opportunity for my favourite sweater! 🪼🎅 JOLLY FISH. J.O.L.L.Y FISH ^__^ Off to Manchester to visit their SeaLife ! Slowly visiting all the ones in the UK :)

I think I'd prefer to find a meteorite then gold , cos like they are super cool!! Altho my bank account would prefer the gold 😅🙃 www.sciencealert.com/man-keeps-ro...

At uni we did a module on the archaeology of human evolution - it's so cool to see updates in the field. When you're going back so far, it is hard to have any definites as the evidence just doesn't survive! Will be interesting to see if how this progresses :) www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

Busy Library Day ✨️📚🖤 This morning off to Mottingham Library in Bromley for their re-opening after a refurbishment & this evening back at Balham Library in Wandsworth for an author event with Alan Hollinghurst!!! I genuinely love all aspects of Librarianship, but days like this, I REALLY love it :)

📚✨️🖤 anytime !

Last night chatting to a mate at gig: Him "not seen you out in years where you been?" Me "working" "Damn thats sucks" "No, I love my job?" "In like history, yeh?" (We last hung out when I was doing my BA) "I'm a librarian, public libraries" "Ok, wow that is cool" Damn right! 😇

Made mini honey breads (or in my case golden syrup cos that's all I had at home) while waiting for the electrician to come to the flat to do yearly inspection. I added sultanas to half of them - easier to make than I feared, maybe become a staple quick snack 😋 www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/art...

I volunteered to give feedback on an excellent conference! Highlighting how thankful I am that the conference is open now to all library staff (not just heads of service) And how inspiring it has been hearing about library projects & future planning! #LLConf25 #LondonLibraries

Really looking forward to the London Libraries Conference today! A day of hearing about all the amazing things happening in libraries across the city, as well as looking how to approach future trends & challenges! Friday is a good day of knowledge exchange & networking ✨️📚🖤

Watching Race Across The World thinking, "Wow, I'd be so good at this.... as long as my teammate allowed me to be in absolute control of all travel/logistical decisions." 😅 Altho, my inability to try unknown foods means I might just starve before the finish line heh

Go so excited when I saw the sign mentioned a Library, but looked everywhere and could not see :( Best I could find was a closed book store. Waiting for final flight. Heydar Aliyev International Airport to Gatwick :)

Didn't get too much time to explore The Burabay State National Nature Park, but what I did see was lovely, I can imagine spending a whole weekend here hiking! It was a perfect ending to my week in Kazakhstan! Now, to start the trek back to London :)

What a privilege to attend #WLIC2025 in Astana Kazakhstan! My first #IFLA event, too, thanks to the Emerging Leaders Grant. @ifla.org Quick summary on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/posts/imogen...

Welcome, and now goodbye! What an incredible first #WLIC the sheer global scale of different insights yet so much togetherness! I feel confident that the LIS world can take on our future challenges ✨️📚🖤 #WLIC2025 #IFLA & Thank you @ifla.org for making this happen with the Emerging Leaders Grant.

As part of the IFLA Emerging Leaders Grant we were asked to give a lighting (1min) talk on what our definition of leadership is. To not only be able to attend an international conference, but also to share my view on stage was really pretty special ✨️📚🖤 #WLIC2025 #IFLA #EmergingLeaders @ifla.org

Thammasat University Library, Bangkok, Thailand “From Waste to Wealth: Green Library through Circular Economy” #GreenLibraries award win! So inspiring! They are doing so much from small to grand, showing how many avenues to implement in my own library services @ifla.org www.ifla.org/news/10th-if...

Afternoon starts off... bold (hehe) #WLIC2025 #IFLA

Say it LOUDER Leadership happens at every level & every stage - and that means all staff deserve access to support, knowledge, training to grow their own leadership style, which in turns breeds more leaders (libraries sure love circular economies 🙃) #WLIC2025 #IFLA

I think Spearmint is my favourite mint But I'm not sure if that's just cos it's got the word spear in it Thought sponsored by the extra spearmint gum I just brought 😋🙃

Aaww man :( When I was abt 14 a family friend gave me a phone that had Crazy Train as the ring tone, and I was all 🤯 what is this vibe !? Like many metal heads, Ozzy holds a special place in our hearts for what he created & what he influenced. news.sky.com/story/ozzy-o...
