It’s been a while. I don’t feel like I quite got the knack of this platform. Anyway, here’s Mac looking cute after a groom! #dog #newfypoo
Hemlock & Silver by T Kingfisher. I discovered T Kingfisher by accident last year and have read everything she’s written since!
Emme was delighted to find her name on the @bertsbooks.bsky.social bench today 📚
This sticker sums everything up right now.
I love mine! And my daughter was star struck to have met THE Bert this afternoon ✨
Operation Mincemeat was the theatrical highlight of my year so I was delighted to see the matinee for NYE! Also, my seven year old might be Monty’s biggest fan… 💛💛 @operationmincemeat.bsky.social

Contains no fruit indeed.
NYC for 24 hours and I can happily say that What a Wonderful Life: The Louis Armstrong Musical and Death Becomes Her are both glorious!
On a plane again!
Again, being a fundraiser is mad. Here’s our 2m cat… #exetercollegeox

Oooft, I’ve been decorating the Christmas tree, brushing up on my Latin and having a minor disagreement with the printer! Thank you to the 48 donors who have chosen today to support Exeter College and make a gift!
Make a gift here! exetergivingday.hubbub.net/coming-soon/ 🦖💚

Getting manipulated into elf culture by my 7 year old is my number one regret of 2024.
Are you really a fundraiser if, a couple of times a year, you don’t have 100s of cupcakes in your car or spend time videoing a dinosaur on a carousel?!
I massively over scheduled the first two weeks of December and may be a burnt out husk by Christmas but here’s a Christmas free selfie…
Today’s adventure!
I spent this morning trying to extract some words from my soul ahead of my PhD supervision meeting next week. It was made much more difficult by Mac, my newfy, being an absolute chaos goblin…
Well, that’s GBBO done and now I count down to the return of Pottery Throwdown. These shows are very soothing for my anxious brain 🧠
I am so excited!!
I “won” in the end by citing hypocrisy, but it wasn’t a great moment 🤦♀️
My fuzzy boy, who has refused multiple beds, sleeps the day away in his!
I work for an organisation that always encourages me to fundraise for unrestricted gifts. Today, when we were deciding where our annual charitable donation should go, I was told that a large NGO was inappropriate because of our gift would be eaten up by overheads… I nearly cried.
I’ve strung all our baubles on lights this year and bought a small potted tree. They look cute and, importantly, are dog proof…
It’s Sunday evening, so it’s crap Christmas movie o’clock. This week it’s The Princess Swap and it is so sweet my teeth hurt. 🍪
Washing the dog in a storm might be the definition of stupidity. Oh well. At least he smells nice. For now.
We went to see #wicked today and it was really good. I wasn’t sure if it would live up to the stage show, but it was brilliant 🧙♀️
Word of this morning is 'procaffeinate' to put everything on hold until you've had sufficient amounts of coffee.
You seen @susiedent.bsky.social word of the day today?!
Mac is weirdly human. He uses pillows. He snores. He’s absolutely mahoosive. I love him. #newfypoo
It’s snowing here. Morty decided the best way to spend his day was on my heated blanket…
