Oh oh, definitely a red sky this morning over the gardens here. Waiting for the stormy weather to arrive.

Becoming a student again after several decades is quite daunting; luckily I have a furry friend who seems very keen to help, though I’m uncertain he knows very much about Viking studies 🤣🤣.

So the world has gone mad, but I’ve got bread rising in the warm, I’ve made blueberry muffins and I sat in the sun to have coffee (yes it was bloody cold!) for the first time this year! Now to sort out the last of the roast chicken ready for tea tonight.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, I strongly recommend the livestream of the corpse flower at Sydney Botanic Gardens on YouTube. There are currently 1,500 people in chat waiting for a flower to open, and occasionally claiming that it definitely has moved this time. WWTF: We Watch The Flower.

Today seemed like a good day to do something for me, so I've made all the bookings for a trip to Orkney later this year. My weak excuse is that it will be helpful for the MLitt I've just started, but the truth is . . . . I just want to go back to Orkney!!

I don't know which "ideas person" came up with the name 'Brightspace' for their VLE, but I do know there is a special place in hell reserved for them! What a stupid name, sounds like some quasi-religious sect who are waiting for the rapture to arrive; not where I'll find my course materials. 😦

Out doing my weekly shopping and I’m extremely grateful to all the people who’ve gritted the roads and pavements. Now sat by a fire having a late breakfast and coffee with a chum
