I used to be 5 foot but I’m shrinking! I’ve just had my kitchen remodelled to mean that I can reach everything! Fabulous! You lose a bit of cupboard space but it makes it manageable

I could have let you have a few bags

Victoria Mapplebeck’s Motherboard in Guardian’s top 50 films

And to you too dear friend

A 15 year old relatives tells me sexism and misogyny from fellow pupils at school is appalling

Also have you seen Victoria Mapplebeck’s authoethnographic Bafta winning documentaryMotherboard?

BBC. Made by Duck Soup films in Wales. 3 part series about gay men adopting. The boy playing the adoptee should win prizes. But the stand out actor is the birth mother. See what you think

And what about Lost Boys and Fairies? Just won an Emmy!

Christmas shopping for those you care about

But you absolutely have to watch Victoria Mapplebeck’s motherboard! It’s a brilliant film! I might be prejudiced but I know the family well

And it’s in Newcastle!

My niece Bex Wray Roger’s just won an Emmy for the film she produced for the @bbcwales.bsky.social tv series Lost Boys and Fairies’! How about another series now?

I always sing along to Bob Marley when making my home made conserves

Snowy day out today so I’ve been making batch one of my Christmas puddings. This is the gluten free veggie batch. Mainstream batch at the weekend

Is anyone even on Bluesky? Worth blooting Sarah's keynote for the Deakin Teaching & Learning Conference? #DeakinTLC

I once got searched at Belfast Airport because I was carrying a Christmas pudding wrapped in silver foil and the security staff said on the x-ray in my suitcase. It looked like it could be explosives

Excellent work Emily

@lner.co.uk I must commend the staff on yesterday’s 15.30 much delayed train from London to Newcastle.It should’ve gone on to Edinburgh but terminated there. Considering the horrible week LNER staff have experienced. They were incredibly calm, cheerful, helpful, informative&lovely.Well done& thanks!

So many of us in the UK want to do what we can to help the horrendous conditions in Gaza. As Chair of the cross-party group for Aid Match, I asked the Foreign Sec about the potential use of aid match to maximise the amount we can help with getting aid into, and rebuilding, Gaza.

Take it!

To be fair they also talked to Phillip Pullman

Thanks Sue!

I know this to be true because it’s my healthcare trust and it’s brilliant, but I can’t see it on the times site because of the paywall . Anybody got any advice on how I can get round it?

JISC mail list!

A cohort worthy and excellent individuals! And sending comms and love to people who applied this time and didn’t get it! It’s a hard knock to take but learn from the experience and try another time is my best advice

Congratulations to all this year’s crop of excellent @ntfellows.bsky.social WINNERS! Join the hashtag and make sure you get onto the just mailed us as soon as possible! And commiserations to all who didn’t make it this year, it’s worth trying another year

Interesting article Hugh. I think it’s not just oral exams that the time of day matters. For example, don’t run any exams late in the day if they fall during Ramadan.

The yellow ones are lovely. I have some on my greenhouse
