Wondering if I can start a[nother] PhD in time to apply for one of these *phenomenal* 6 month placements.
I’m at Akhenaten at the LA Opera and I’m not exaggerating when I tell you literally EVERYONE is here except Timothée Chalamet

Drawing of an angry face, and a stick figure walking up a stair case holding a piece of paper. The accompanying text reads I Hat Yoo Mummee.
So pleased that International Women's Day is also I Hat Yoo Mummee day in our house. Raising strong girls who know their own minds 💪 then 5yo was not pleased: "This is me going upstairs with a piece of paper because I am cross and I am going to write on it I hate you mummy"

Overhead photo of a car showroom. There is a bike rack circled at the side of the building. It is located directly behind two occupied parking bays and additional cars blocking the access.
Google street view shot of a bike rack at the inaccessible side of a building, hidden from sight of any passers-by.
Went to a car showroom a while back - the kind of place someone might reasonably cycle to until they have a car. Here's where the bike parking is. I locked up against the wall near the entry since people might actually be walking past that area.
Have a little lunchtime treat - our MD @RalphWoodward2 talking about the #WarRequiem in deepest Suffolk - 23 minutes of insights and sneak peeks at the Red House and the manuscript - brilliant! www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J5T...
The covers of Ottoline and the purple fox, The mysterious Benedict society, Electrigirl, and Emily Lime Librarian detective.
The covers of Rose Raventhorpe investigates black cats and butlers, and Murder most unladylike.
Not sure if these might be a little bit old in terms of storyline, but all have excellent girl characters.
Pretty much, yeah.
