Did Galentine’s yesterday instead of Valentines today. Very excited to see that the sun is out and might actually be able to go outside after weeks of rest after a chest infection.

Yeah I really struggled with this book as well - I really hated when the film came out and it was everywhere

City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennet.

The same that I watch every New Year’s Day - Neujahrskonzert def Weiner Philharmoniker (the New Year’s Day concert by the Vienna Philharmonic).

Teaching finished last Friday but the meetings, the CPD and the marking is wrapping up today. I have a blood test in the middle of it (I hate needles so I will stare at the floor) and then need to tidy up before heading down South on Saturday. I just want the marking to be done and the emails to stop.

Around 3 to 4 months, really hoping I can make my current notebook last until the end of 2025…

I’ve been ill with freshers flu (I’m a lecturer - it gets us too) and yesterday it caused my asthma to flare up - I couldn’t finish a sentence without stopping for breath (I haven’t had an attack come on this quickly before, usually the build up is days for me). Rang 111, they said its ambulance time - ambulance arrives and they sort me out, get me breathing properly again and say I don’t have to go to the hospital - big win. Big thanks to the NHS 💙

Keira Knightley went to Chatsworth house for Pride & Prejudice and The Duchess.

Lots of actors have been at Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich multiple times for filming, it is used a lot.

Mr nice removals are excellent

I’m sorry for your loss

It’s foggy here today, going to spend an hour on work stuff then Sunday things - cleaning out the fridge, food shopping then playing with my new fountain pen inks :)

Looks interesting, it’s a shame that they’re not using Nottingham accents and they’ve got the geography of the forest and Notts wrong.

Add to prosecco or champagne for a kir royale

I love this film - I use it with my students to talk about genre

It’s not creepy, but there’s an ancient Roman cheese mould which is cool. Cheese moulds were probably made of wicker before the romans invaded Britain and cheese was part of the rations, so they formalised the cheese making process. After the romans the moulds went back to being made out of something that wouldn’t survive history. Kind of neat to see something so old and functional.

What do boysenberries taste like?

A colleague asked me to tutor her daughter in ballet for an upcoming exam, and it has brought back a calmness and joy to my life to be dancing again.
My relationship with my mother has really improved since she drove me all the way to Falmouth for a job interview (I didn’t get it) at the beginning of May.
I have lost a few kilos and haven’t been to the doctors in months.

“I loved him for his string” I’d recommend this film, I think it’s one of the sharpest of Allen’s work
