Feeling the warmth of the sun on my back. Listening to the busy chatter of birds. Reading Scottish poetry. Today is a good day. 🌿

Coming to the end of my first week, and have just delivered my first lecture, as a temporary Lecturer in Scot. Lit at @uofglasgow.bsky.social and what a week it’s been! Such a warm welcome from colleagues and students alike! I *think* I’m going to like it here…😄🎉
