Not a word of a lie. This morning we discovered a large print of Ned Ludd in our Chapel Gallery had mysteriously came off the wall during the night. Clearly, the frame-breaking continues.

I could totally do toasted cheese on a hot cross bun… I think our lord would approve

Me back at work today for the first time in almost 2 weeks with no passwords remembered, no working pens and no cheese for breakfast x

Had some mead 🍸… cba taking the tree down, happy new year and all that:

New Year’s Resolution. Always wear a hat to visit the library. Homburg, bowler, flat cap, no matter. As seen here in the new reading room at the Kensington branch building in Liverpool c.1900 #NYE #PubLibs 💙📚

Me, when I haven’t pencilled on my eyebrows:

Rest is *good*, unscheduled time is *good.* You are not always either producing or decaying. Creativity flows from shutting things up enough to hear yourself, to be able to synthesize everything you’ve taken in lately.

Important data collation:

Went to the pictures: 10/10- no notes

"Buffet size" means "you can fit a whole packet of 50 in your stomach and still be hungry". But (hypothesis) it only works with foods that are normally big: I can't eat 50 falafel, for example, and not for want of trying.

Happy birthday to Carol Anne Duffy: “If you think of the dark as a black park and the moon as a bounced ball, then there’s nothing to be frightened of at all. (Except for aliens…)” The dark, by c.a.duffy.

I feel once again compelled to emphasis the digitizing in the literal scanning sense is fairly unimportant if it is not accompanied with metadata providing context for discovery. Both humans and AI will make things up when they don't know what they are looking at.

The good news : The days are getting longer again from now. #wintersolstice

my year of using the crying-and-laughing react on 100% of the texts I receive, without exceptions, has resulted in a 40% decrease in overall texts received. Strongest recommendation

Working a museum a lady brought in a dead rabbit (in a plastic carrier bag) from the adjacent park… Like did she want me stuff it and put it on display?

Motto of the day: #MondayMorning

Whole heartedly agree. I love to run on the big field with the dog in the morning when no one is about… not like running as in jogging but running/laughing/playful. It’s a delight. More of this please!

Not all heroes wear capes: First women elected to uk parliament, A suffragist and member of Sinn Féin. I need to know more about this gal!

Happy to be both:

Low on the list of reasons physical media needs to make a major comeback, gift giving is so much easier/more fun/more options. Now everything is gift card.

Yeah, we only hide books full of terrible arcane secrets and otherworldly curses.

Where do you see yourself in 2026? Me:

You: I’m combining breakfast and lunch. Brunch. Me: I’m combining wine and dinner. Winner.

Puddles of love:

Just been told about a conference where in the lunch break they offered free winter flu vaccines to any attendees who hadn’t had one - brilliant conference freebie!

Evergreen advice:

You might not have put up your decorations yet… but if you know you have some to clear out, do it now!!!! and take them to the charity shop because there’s a good chance someone will buy them& lessen the need for the charity shop to store them for a year

Never let the cynics and naysayers grind you down. You *can* have it all at once.
