Project Hail Mary is a good time, and Ryan Gosling is very pretty.

Glass of fizz and Star Trek: First Contact. And relax. The Peedies refused the offer of a fun cinematic adventure. I'm never going to get them into Star Trek. Sigh

Happy Easter! I have no voice left so this negroni is definitely medicinal

Why in 2026, do I still believe my washing machine when it says it will be done in 3 minutes?

Archives & Special Collections is gathering election leaflets from the 2026 Scottish Parliament campaign. If you get any through your door or on campus, please drop them at the Andersonian Library, or send via internal mail or post. guides.lib.strath.ac.uk/blogs/archiv...

One less hour of sleep and pouring rain and howling wind outside. I'd like to see the manager please.

My photograph of the ISS tonight looks like Paddington coming for me after I flatline on the operating table

The Husband and Child 1 have spent much of the last hour digging a hole to put one of our, now pot bound, lockdown Christmas trees into the ground in the front garden. I'm excited for December and the lights I'm going to put on it.

i love how so much of digital accessibility is just reaffirming what librarians have been trying to tell you for 1000 years: METADATA IS IMPORTANT, ACTUALLY

I have only a squeaky wee voice at the moment. My children are hugely happy about this.

My throat is sore. It's sore when I talk and would very much like to hide away, and come back when people don't want to speak to me.

Scholarly communications without digital preservation is just content creation.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.

Last night's dream featured me being attacked by a mental squirrel while I was asleep in my bed. William did not notice I was being attacked and slept on. It also had very strange teeth that grew in order to be able to bite me. I eventually threw it out of the window & it walked off like a geezer

That's been a busy old few days. Where has the weekend gone?

What nonsense. I've seen theses dedicated to the authors. They can be dedicated to whomsoever they want.

The Windsor change are blowing etc etc

If you've bought signage and display materials (for exhibitions and events) what things do you wish you'd thought of to buy? And what things came in surprisingly handy that you hadn't expected/weren't bought for the purpose they ended up being useful for?

Now, I have not to the best of my recollection dreamed of my teeth falling out. I have however had a very memorable dream that my teeth all turned into baby aubergines. That was the night before the men's singles final at Wimbledon in 2016. That's how memorable it was to me. But also:

To quote a phrase that was always a portent of doom in 70s news broadcasts, I believe that Keir is currently ‘sitting up in bed and joking with the nurses’.

Watching Chernobyl with Child 1. He's mainly appalled by the glasses and telephones. It continues to be the most amazing piece of television

It really is still January, isn't it? Sigh

Ooooh. Round table drama!

Flipping heck. Spotify really wants me to listen to that Jo Whiley and Zoe Ball podcast. It keeps shoving it into my feed. No matter how many times I tell it I'm not interested, here comes the banal crap.

“They’re dead. They’ll be fine.” #TheTraitors

"Mum I've got a job in #TheTraitors!" "Wow I'll look out for it!" The job:

Protect Jessie at all costs! She's excellent

I am a Spanish linguist, having been trained personally by a green owl

Oh dear, Harriet! I fear that may not have worked

Ooooh Harriet!

Catching up on Pluribus. It is fine, but the elevator pitch is misleading. She is not the most miserable person on the earth and the rest of the world is not happy.

I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this

Omg. Fiona.

Back from a lunchtime visit to Archives & Special Collections at Strathclyde. Glasgow history folk: please don't overlook the Strathclyde collection. They hold a surprising range of stuff, and the archivists are extremely welcoming to weird nerds who turn up with weird enquiries.

Oh. Well. That's not what beguiling looks like.

men are way too emotional to be president

Rather magnificent eggs in purgatory à la @nigella.bsky.social - a delicious garlicky chilli way to start the day with excellent eggs.

Will I put socks on and continue getting dressed or just climb back under the duvet?

So strange having Sunday on a Thursday this week.

I'm loving the hot takes on the Traitors twist.

Oh shut up Hugo!

Negronis and Traitors. The healthy eating can start on Monday....

That must have taken ages. They give it to him, he gives it back, they give it to him...

Reminder that you don’t need to do a detox in new year if you’ve got liver and kidney function, and anyone who says otherwise is trying to sell you something

It is time! Light the lamp. Not the rat!!!
