Among everything else, I forgot to congratulate @anniechapman.bsky.social for winning the Arthur Conan Doyle society's award for the year's best academic work on Doyle, for her article on Doyle, medical authority, and *The Idler*. I was on the panel and it was a very tough competition.

So much to love about London Tide. The staging and particularly the lighting design were brilliant. What they chose to include/exclude worked well. That said if you don’t like PJ Harvey you might struggle with it!

Said hello to the Gloucester Candlestick yesterday. Somehow it’s about 11 years since I was thinking about it during my MA. I loved the freedom to think that course afforded me. Happy times

I remember how excited I was by all the options as an undergrad delivered by so many experts, and I wonder what options will be left for my history-loving teen when he gets to that stage

Gutted today as one of my wonderful colleagues worked her last day with us. If you haven’t already got yourself a collaborator/ sounding-board/ co-conspirator/ team-teacher who is a librarian, you should absolutely make that your priority. Librarians make the best colleagues. And friends

This was a fabulous event! Beautiful singing and fascinating context for the carols. Made my Monday a bit less Monday
Looking forward to introducing another Victorian secularist song as part of the this evening's @c19qmul.bsky.social Carols in Context event. Alongside more familiar pieces, we'll be singing 'Sympathy.' Two verses received Gladstone's own tick of approval in his copy held at @gladlib.bsky.social

Took some of our PGRs on a writing retreat on a train today! It was the best. We went to Lancaster and met up with PGRs from the Glasgow campus who did a train retreat too. Can’t claim credit for the idea but it was such a lovely day and I would 100% recommend doing writing retreats on a train!

Beautiful day for one of the highlights of the academic year! It’s graduation today and tomorrow and I am delighted to be celebrating with our wonderful GCU London students. This is what all the hard work is for!

This was exactly the break I needed last night. So silly and fun and now I feel recharged and ready to help students write their research projects today.

The #19thC botanical stereographs at the photography centre at the V&A are absolutely worth seeking out.
