And I am really proud that Royal Holloway heads up the National Lab too. CoSTAR is a coming together of so many talents and such positive energy across Higher Education and industry. A model of its kind for the future I hope.

Finally managed to see “All We Imagine As Light” last night and it is wondrous, full of light and love despite the sadness and the challenge of women’s lives that it grapples with.

Quite an evening at our Central London teaching space hearing Lord Simon Woolley speak with passion & integrity about his activist history with Operation Black Vote, inspiring us all to (re)focus on what matters at this time. Followed by brilliant q & a led by our own graduate Dr Renee Landell.

our local supermarket was awash with red roses and cut out hearts today and it all seemed a bit dissonant at the end of a very long day but promising myself to be a bit more giving come tomorrow …

“shouldn’t we be learning things like how the wind blows, which way is up and how to tie our shoelaces and what is love?” An incoming year of the snake 🐍 felt like the perfect time to reacquaint myself with Lanmo and A L Kennedy’s gorgeous modern fable. 📖❤️🐍

Just the loveliest London day - amazing theatre from Plexus Polaire adapting Moby Dick 🐋into powerful visuals, puppetry and performance 🎭 at the Barbican and then a light show at Battersea to chase the winter dark away followed by a year of the snake 🐍 supper. Heavenly.

30 years later and you get to jump off the train from Budapest and spend a night in Vienna with them all over again and best of all perhaps to do it with the same person you first watched with all that time ago. #BeforeSunrise ❤️

Some books creep up on you oh so quietly but leave you with your emotions blown wide open by the the end. The brutal winter of 1962-1963 captured in intimate details in some remarkable writing by Andrew Miller ❄️❄️❄️

Remembering David Lodge today. His short columns on fiction in The Independent on Sunday were an absolute joy for me as someone discovering that all she wanted in the world was to study English Literature at university (forever).

In 1995 @thefnl.bsky.social gave a grant to Norfolk Record Office to help them buy the county's earliest known swan roll, c1500. Swans in Norfolk are clearly very fine, if a bit grumpy. (Don't forget that you can apply to FNL for a grant at any time - see www.fnl.org.uk).
