It's #WorldBookDay tomorrow (Thursday 6th March) so don't forget that if you need any last minute dressing up clothes we've loads on the rails at Orkney Library and they're all FREE. Just take what you need and returning whenever you want. 📚 #LoveLibraries

@academic-chatter.bsky.social hey folks! Lovely to find you all here! I am running a session for PhD students next week and I’d love to show them why you are on this platform as an academic. #AcademicChatter #HE

Freezing swim today! Not been in for over two weeks so it was tough forcing myself in!

Thanks to @monicalennon.bsky.social for lodging a parliamentary motion recognising our new bursary in honour of journalist Nick Sheridan, who lectured part-time at UWS. Jointly funded with BBC Scotland and STV, the bursary will support the next generation in broadcasting.

Note to self - keep rotating the orange cardigan and silver cycle jacket. Most pictures of me on here include them!

Today has been a good day. Met Gillian at Launch Coffee in Princes Square. Got my Samwise fix. And finalised social media for HE consultancy packages. Roll on tomorrow.

Staving off the winter blues and topping up the Vitamin D. #ShareYourSunshine

This is awful - a book like heartstopper would have made my school life a thousand times better. And there is really clear guidance on this from CILIP, endorsed by Arts Council - find it here: www.cilip.org.uk/page/safe-an... www.attitude.co.uk/culture/hear...

Rainy cycle ride home #Glasgow

I’d never been to Gleniffer Braes before this weekend.

It’s nice to be here!
