And after helping me with the article, he helped me compile @asmcf.bsky.social's final Francophone Friday thread of the year!! Now I'm looking forward to the holidaya and full time mummy-ing!

Today, we are featuring our Web Officer’s @juliarsct.bsky.social research on French poetry of the First World War. Julia was recently awarded the Dennis Showalter award by @fwwsoc.bsky.social and delivered the memorial lecture in early November. It is now Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yoaR... 2/3

I was really excited to go but it's the day Leo has to present the end-of-year results at work so there's nobody to watch Adam :( I am sure it will be a hit and yes, now that you're close by we'll have more opportunities to catch up!

Merci Sylvie! j'espère que tout se passe bien pour toi. Par ici la vie de rugbyman commence tôt:

As I approach the cut-off date I had set for myself before leaving academia and since I now have a child to think about, this whiplash did feel worse than others - maybe it's the sleep deprivation 🥴

mine has only just duscovered he's got hands 🤣 I can't imagine what he'll be like as a teenager!

I am glad you enjoyed it, thank you for joining us! I just have a few minor edits to do and want to include translations of the poems, but hopefully it won't be too long before it is published!

Sorry you missed it! Hopefully it will be on Youtube soon and I will also make onlt a few quick edits before sending it to the Journal, so hopefully that will be out soon as well!

oh my it is indeed beautiful, but I can't really manage anything cimplicated right now! I am actually struggling to finish a garter + rib stitch blanket! Post pictures of the finished shawl please :)

Huge thanks to @afrayn.bsky.social and @chriskempshall.bsky.social for organising and for allowing me to have my newborn and childcare with me - ECRs should never turn down amazing opportunities because of parenthood and I felt very supported by the Society and Edinburgh Napier Uni tonight!

that is stunning Jessica! Please share the pattern *.* and thank you so much for listening and for your support as ever!
