Librarian at Hereford Cathedral. Librarian cliche & loving it. Expect books, tea, crafts & cats. All views my own, in case it needs to be said.

Ooh, wasn't familiar with this! But this is much more like the one on the Mappa.

Everything happens all at once at some point in every project, right? It's not just because I've just managed my time really poorly?

6 year old has just shouted at me to finish making a pot of soup and put it in a sandwich for her. I admire her ingenuity, but this has failed before.

This is a feeble excuse. Pixar films prompt much harder conversations about death, grief, anxiety, environmental disaster, betrayal, jealousy, friendships, class, animal rights, etc, etc

Using my MIL for marketing research (I.e. reading exhibition captions/labels). Not sure if this is wise or sad or both. She is very gentle so fear her feedback is skewed...

Can't help feeling people may be a tad disappointed when they see the state of this poor Anglo-Saxon sword.

An analogue for 'Don't start a land war in Asia' is 'Don't upset the Quakers.'

Made my lunch this morning; felt virtuous. Walked out the door without it (not for the first time, either). #Hungry

Good luck! Exhibition writing here. We'll both be fine...

I love that you need this urgently. (I want some, too, but it's definitely not urgent for me.)

The St Albans Processional: Music and Scribal Culture at Twelfth Century St Albans - 12/06/2026 19:30:00 Join us as a unique twelfth-century processional from the St Albans scriptorium is brought to life.

Very much looking forward to what will be a lovely way to tie up my time working so closely on such a fantastic MS. There will also be live chant performed by James Preston and Andrew Carwood, including a gorgeous farsed Christmas Epistle.

I mean, 6 hours is a long time! I feel the same, though. But breaks are okay and good. You'll get it done in the end in your own way.

Someone mentioned the possibility of processing a particular book in a service that uses candles and due to the number of people there has quite narrow aisles for processing. I involuntarily blanched and basically shouted "but the candles!" without thinking. A librarian's instinct, I hope.

A quick note to say that not all strokes present with one-sided weakness. Sudden loss of language with or without headache may be a sign. Important that you communicate what is baseline for the individual or they might ascribe it to other age-related issues.
