A post on the awful new strategic direction of Clarivate It will erode #Libraries offer, limit services, & fix the already broken ebook market into permanent "R&P" type arrangements Bad for the #Library, bad for students, bad for academics, great for shareholders www.linkedin.com/posts/anthon...

Anybody else's dog sit on the remote and change channels? Or is it just #Dylanthedog

Feeling quite meh this evening. Can't even face a glass of vino. Traitors then bed methinks.

Another conference over £500 with no accomodation included in that price.

Christmas has arrived at Lancaster Towers!

Water on the knee was not on my bingo card for this week #ouch

Hypermobility is kicking my arse today. Feel like my knee is popping out of it's socket everytime I take a step. Am hobbling around like an old woman:-(

2 x tickets for Embrace at Tramshed Cardiff tonight. £40 the pair, can't go due to sickness :-(

Not sure why BBC R2 needed to play the national anthem just before 8am to wish the King 'Happy Birthday'? Pretty sure they never did that for Liz.... #odd

What musical am I going to see tomorrow? Wrong answers only :-)

Morning! #teaup at Lancaster towers, more data & analysis today! 📚 #librarylife

Playing yarn chicken..... who will win, me or the yarn??? 🧶 #crochet

Decided to make a fancy coffee and add a dash of Bailey's to it!

No Friday night wine for me due to antibiotics :-( Enjoying the rugby though!

I love the #Haka #rugby #irlvnz

I'm not normally a numbers girl, but today I've compiled data, analysed the data and written a report based on the data. Feeling quite pleases with myself, especially as I'm feeling rubbish with a tooth infection. 📚

Any nice cafe / pub recommendations for Bath please?

Two weeks on from getting the norovirus lurgy, I've had my first cup of tea today!

Noravirus, 10 out of 10 do not recommend. Been ill since Monday evening and still not much better. #Dylanthedog has been keeping me company. #poorlysick

Friday night tech duties at the parents. Did not go well, can't get English commentary via Sky on S4C. Despite following the same instructions as on my own TV.

Friday afternoon wine! #weddinganniversary #18years #porcelain #weekendaway #salisbury

I am trying heatless curls tonight. I look ridiculous, I'm not sure I will sleep but I shall give it a go. As the youth say: "trust the process!"

Rookie mistake, forgot to buy treats for accompanying Bake Off.

Wardrobe switcheroo is go! Halfway through whilst watching 'Sense & Sensibility' #autumn

Meant to be going out on Saturday with friends, planned months ago. I've been feeling ropey all week but decided to look in the wardrobe to chivvy me along - nothing to wear. Contemplating staying home in my PJs.

One day, I will pick the little'un up from school and when asked how their day was, the reply will be "great". Reader, today was not that day. #mumlife

Lunchtime stint on a library enquiry hub on day 1 of freshers. Totally out of my comfort zone, but amazing what you remember!

In my final Ta-dah of the evening, I finally finished the bobtail set ready to gift tomorrow! #crochet #handmade #bobtail #pompoms

My 80 year old neighbour bought cooking apples from her tree round. Apple crumble after our Sunday roast!

New shoes & boots do not fit my extra wide feet. No idea where to shop next!

Now I know why my reusable mug was in the sale. It leaks :-(

I need a #Christmas #crochet project. Last year, I crocheted a Christmas Tree - it was a labour of love, but I'm proud of it. What can I do this year? Any ideas? #crafters

Snuggled under a blanket with my Bailey's coffee, even #Dylanthedog is feeing the cold and requested his jumper.

Today's lunchtime - I bought the shoes! #newshoes not the weather will be unseasonably warm and I can go back to my sandals for a few more days!

Lunch hour thoughts right now - how much longer can I stay in my sandal? Which should I purchase: leather shoes or suede shoes. Same style and colour, just different material. #shoetweet #decisions

Sunday's done right! Finally got my Sunday roast :-)

We finished #MayorofKingstown tonight. Loved it! Not sure what to do with myself now!

Beef in slow cooker for tomorrow's roast. Chips prepped for tea later to go with homemade burgers. House cleaned, little'uns room sorted. Craft room & bedding to sort tomorrow! I've earned a glass of wine now, surely?

Room update: wardrobe tidied, chest of drawers tidied. 1 bag of rubbish & 3 bags to donate! #tidy

Sorting out the little'uns wardrobe. I tend not to go in her room that much, coz ya know teenagers. However it needs doing. So far, we are half done and zero arguments!

Decisions, decisions ... fringe or no fringe.... bob or no bob... #hairdecisions

It has been *that* kind of day....

It's nearly the end of August and the car is packed for camping! #camping #fun

Just had to wrap this doofus in a blanket as he was cold and crying. #Dylanthedog

Having watched 1883, 1923 and Yellowstone, I would now like a pair of cowboy boots & a cowboy hat please!

Today's autumnal tea - corned beef hash. #oldschool #tasty no pics as it was devoured!
