My current workplace.

My English husband just admitted that he prefers vegemite to marmite, and my work is done.

There is a PhD scholarship on offer for someone to come and work on Asterix, with me, at Monash: careers.pageuppeople.com/513/cw/en/jo...

I think of writing like taking a little piece of coloured foil, like the wrapping on a chocolate Easter egg, and smoothing it out, over and over, until there are no wrinkles left. (Smoothing coloured foil is, indeed, something I also like to do).

I am delighted to announce that, having spent three years faffing about trying to work out how to start my book, I have commenced writing chapter 1.

And many congratulations to @brionyneilson.bsky.social!

For the Asterix readers out there, I'll be speaking at the Institute for Historical Research on Jan 20: www.history.ac.uk/events/aster...
