Thanks to my lovely friend Andy for this very special badge. #Hiraeth #TakeMeHomeCountryRoads.

I really don't know what they mean, it's a dogs life? I mean, of course it's a dog's life who else's life would it be? Smudge 🐾🐾

Hello gang, Smudge here. Just to let you know, I'm feeling a lot better. I've even started playing Tug-a-Squirrel again. But it's so cold tonight I'm wearing it as a scarf. Thanks to all my friends in the shops in Kings Road that supplied me with dog treats on Saturday. 🐾🐾🐾

So sad to hear of the death of Pauline Collins. A great inspiration to me as a young actor. Encouraging of my fledgling career and sponsoring me into the Actors Equity. She and husband John starred in Wodehouse Playhouse, an adaptation by my father, writer David Climie. They were exquisite in it. ❤️🙏

Can't wait for this to come out. Great collage Eleanor Dobson. Well Done @coppertapestry.bsky.social and all x

Two of our academics - @wvmierlo.bsky.social and Dr Barbara Cooke - will be speaking at the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing (CBCP) Modernist Editing Symposium on 23 September. More details here: research.reading.ac.uk/centre-for-b...

A writing day that stirred memories and emotions. The perfect cure this eve listening to the brilliant Simon Townshend's song BARE ESSENCE, from his equally brilliant album DENIAL

It seems I'm so famous now they've made a cartoon of me... #Smudge #BedlingtonTerrier

Fascinating article by my #EnglishPhD colleague @rosemaryarcher.bsky.social in the latest edition of the #RRRJournal The article looks at the extent of women's 'emotional labour' in the late 19th century and beyond. www.rrrjournal.com/issue/7

Today Smudge is sporting his Christmas hat to go with his Christmas jumper. #BedlingtonTerrier #WoollyHat #ChristmasJumper

Smudge making sure the last of his 2nd class post got sent today at the post office. Sometimes when he goes to the parcel hatch a treat appears. #LastPost. #PostOffice #BedlingtonTerrier #ChristmasCards #ChristmasParcels #ChristmasJumper

When we entered the café, the man directed us to a table and told us to take a seat. I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with a seat. This one felt a bit more like a kennel and I didn't know where I was supposed to take it. Humans are strange. #BedlingtonTerrier

Smudge was doing a good impression of 'shiver my timbers' in the car today, so I lent him one of my snoods. #BedlingtonTerrier #Headscarf

Low winter sun in the Gardens. #BedlingtonTerrier #Smudge biting off more than he can chew

Good morning my Bsky friends and friends to B...sky

@helenglew.bsky.social hi I would like to be added to your list please

Yesterday I passed my last PhD independent review, taking me into my final year. So now heading into the last furlong, at the end of which I hope to be wearing a funny hat. Special thanks to @drclaireocall.bsky.social & Barbara Cook

Hey this is where you are all hanging out...Very pleased to join you. X does not mark the spot for me anymore
