Just listening to We Didn't Start the Fire, where Joel mentions "British Beedle mania". I'd almost forgotten about that, that year we all went crazy for Jeremy Beedle. We nearly lost our fucking minds there didn't we? Mad times.

Enjoying my copy of @unchcrosswords.com as I try to get back into cryptic crosswords this year. I'm making slow and steady progress with Catnip's puzzle and found another cryptic crossword lover in the office to help

❗️Library job alert! Would you like to lead a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced NHS Library Team? If so, you could be our next NHS Liaison and Evidence Services Manager. Find out more here 👉bit.ly/47vIWuS

If you use LibGuides this is a useful way to still be able to access them if they go down again (especially for my friends who were needing them for their presentations this morning!)

Realising I'm a triple threat, but all of those threats are to my own safety - namely a lack of balance, no hand-eye coordination, and no sense of self-preservation

I always understood that time was short and I tried to make the most of living. But I never factored in that my time with other people would be short because they might not be here with me. It sounds so stupid but knowing that now, it's crushing me

CILIP is concerned that the removal, hiding, and modification of data, research and other information resources by authorities in the USA is already starting to impede the vital work of UK information professionals. Read more👇 www.cilip.org.uk/news/693964/...

Turns out I'm not very good at this so here is some useful info: 💻It's an online event 📅 Over two half days on the 27/28th March 💰 Entirely free As well as some fantastic presentations, we have lightning talks on Health Information Week collabs, working with international partners & more #uhmlg25

Had a catch up meet with the UHMLG Events Group yesterday afternoon and I'm very excited at the line-up for our Spring Forum - Stop! Collaborate and Listen: Partnerships in Libraries. Tickets are free and you can register now: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/stop-colla... #medlibs #uhmlg

Turns out I am just a Macaon caterpillar. My metamorphosis is yet to happen

i listened to and ranked every UK number 1 single of the 2020s: a thread.

Mostly for my non library friends. One of the most used healthcare databases is run by the National Library of Medicine in the US. What information it indexes and how, effects the information clinicians in the NHS access. Very worrying that it is vulnerable to this kind of thing

As I'm running a 'social media for health libraries' half-day workshop today, I'd like to update my Health Libraries Starter Pack with anyone I've missed! If YOU are a health library on bluesky and you're not one of the 38 on this list, let me know and I'll add you. go.bsky.app/TZ7HeMW

Been preparing for a 12pm meeting that's actually at 12.30pm so I've now psyched myself up too early. Guess a cup of tea is in order

Someone at work complimented my dress today. I responded 'pockets' and they nodded as if to say 'yes, this has elevated the dress considerably'. I was perfectly understood in the moment

I'm not sure why Pop Base needed to call him out like this, but Happy Birthday Elmo!

Her hat is so big because it's full of secrets

Domino not being a Katy Perry song always throws me

I just had a coffee so good that for once I don't care that it cost me £4 for something so tiny

Invited @vickiepeppard.bsky.social to watch Nell Mescal play tonight. She fairly thought autocorrect fucked up and didn't want to see a Paul Mescal play. Turns out she would have been up for the musical stylings of his sister. Will need to proof read my texts better

When I was in my early 20's I was a freakin' hipster who would spend hours seeking out obscure bands and now I am just sitting here drawing and listening to Please Please Please by Sabrina Carpenter on repeat.

There should be a British equivalent of the EGOT where you win an NTA, an Olivier, a BAFTA and a Brit Award. The UK entertainment industry would have a lot of NOBBs.

I find it interesting how much prior knowledge of a piece of media can impact my impression of it. I knew nothing about Conclave before seeing it so thought it was just a good thriller set in the Vatican. Now it's got awards hype I'm wondering if I missed something and need to rewatch it

Went to see Natasha, Pierre and the Great Concert of 1812 tonight at the Donmar Warehouse and it was utterly brilliant. Hooked from the first song. I believe it's a sold out run but if you can get a return ticket it is absolutely well worth the admission

A new year and a new load of comedy shows. I'll be improvising a brand new musical this Thursday and playing short-form games with GÄMEZ at Hoopla Impro in London Bridge. Come and join us! linktr.ee/ryancomedy

Catching up with the Only Connect Transatlantic special and I could happily watch the Harlequins every Christmas on a special. They're not paying them enough for this level of entertainment

Pretty good advice for anyone taking up running. dumbrunner.com/motivation-n...

Oops, missed an opportunity to cheerlead some more Only Connect S18 returning teams tonight. They'll be on BBC iPlayer being brilliant if, like me, you've lost track of all days at this point

Nothing quite like being the psychopath who likes a post within 30 seconds of it being posted as you happen to open the app at that specific moment

With even more of my favourite people! (Again, sorry Orwellians, I'm sure you are lovely). Can't wait to see this match featuring @biondino.bsky.social, @katbrown.bsky.social and @sarabenwell.bsky.social. Having beat the Morporkians, if they win this, it puts them at the top of the OC literary teams

EXCELLENT work on the Traitors trailer. Also: The Traitors!

Well that was an absolute delight. Wallace and Gromit back to it's best. Loads of nods to itself and other films. Perfection

Nan asking me what we purchased in M&S last week for £10 👀

Starring some of my favourite people! (Sorry Godyn Family, but we've yet to meet. I'm sure you are lovely) Can't wait to watch 💜🌟

Nice one Ernie 🤭

Stocking filler ideas for teenagers needed! Hit me up with whatever you've got or even better, with anything cool you've seen out and about

Obsessed with this food market where you can just buy cones of cheese or charcuterie

On a mini break to Porto and I'm wearing sunglasses and experiencing direct sunlight. I'm anticipating this doing miracles for my mental health

Someone overtook me (we're both pedestrians in this story) without the courtesy to then walk extra fast to recreate a gap. They even came to a complete halt. What is this insanity?

The worst thing that could happen is that they say no. Yes exactly. That would devastate me.

Even beyonder exciteder at the penguin reveal for our festive episode of Only Connect. #OnlyConnect @vcorenmitchell.bsky.social

Ran an errand for a friend this morning and I feel very irl Stardew Valley. Be right back, just going to smash rocks in the mines for a few hours

Did an escape room tonight in Shoreditch called Pushed for Time. Lovely theme and puzzles. Not the most challenging but the puzzles were varied and required different ways of thinking

Apparently you need to replace your hot water bottles every 2 years. I think at least one of mine is in its second decade 😬

This is my favourite board for a while. Where will you be going today? - Michael

Absolutely knackered after a weekend of buzzer quiz. Had a much improved experience on my first buzzer quiz and the team have set me the goal to neg at the next buzzer event as it'll mean I'll have gone for more of my gut shots so plenty more to work on before Oxford 😆

Disgusted that the D***y M**l has been emailing NHS libraries to find out if we stock a title on trans teens as I suspect the article will skew the information horrendously. Am proud that my team's response was to immediately go out and purchase a copy and a few extra titles for good measure

Visited Homewood parkrun this morning. An incredibly friendly parkrun with a challenging trail course. Feel like I've earned my breakfast

I've been wavering all week on whether to do parkrun tomorrow. I'm travelling down to Salisbury for the monthly boardgame meet up so would need to parkrun en route. Downside would be getting up earlier than I would prefer on a Saturday, plus side is that I will have done a run

I'm still going on Twitter as well. Just to see if Temu have got any good deals, really.
