Found this little fellow in my fruit packet so I gave them the last raspberry. (They deserved it for the 2 days they had obviously spent in the fridge.)

In the ongoing saga of train signage we have moved on from teabags in toilets, to toasters on trains! Who has been making toast in the carriages?!?!? 😂 🍞🚆🚃

Why aren't more people talking about 'The Red King' on Alibi? A perfect blend of comedic caricature and serious crime, with just enough pastiche. Can't recommend it enough!!!

Passed my viva, with changes. I need to clarify and extend things before it will be officially done. A huge thank you to my amazing examiners Jon Mee and Laura Gill for their enthusiasm and superb questions. The biggest thanks to Jason and Sibylle, my exceptional supervisors! Thank you!

I really can't understand why more people aren't talking about #3BodyProblem on #Netflix! I am so engaged with it! Such rounded and deep characters! Cannot wait to read the book by Cixin Liu!

Trains delayed and cancelled today, meaning I won't be home until about 7.45pm. So glad that I grabbed a coffee at Carlisle.

So ya know how I was having a moment? Well, I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been awarded a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Postdoctoral Fellowship! 🇪🇺 I’ll be based at the University of Copenhagen! Can’t believe I get to research Viking/Norse death rituals in 18C British literature 🥹✨

If you love sci-fi and you haven't seen Apple TV's 'Silo' I really recommend it. And the novel 'Wool' by Hugh Howey that is based upon is going is good too, but I need to read further!
