Thanks Jo, I really appreciate that (I've really agonised about sharing). UoG staff are pretty gutted, it's been a shock. She was a gem

Vicky was active in UCU and I am 99% sure I've spoken with some of you on here or X about her in the past. She was a historian, and may have known some of you that way. I'm really sorry that some people might have to find out here, but I wasn't sure how else they might find out.

OK, not quite a new film, but this week I've rewatched all three Lord of the Rings films. Thoughts: Elijah Wood's performance was absolutely beautiful, he should have won an Oscar. Sam Gamgee was the MVP, helping his bestie however he could. This is probably my favourite moment, if forced to pick:

Today's film, as I'm now on annual leave, is When Harry Met Sally. Overall pretty good, though not all of it has aged well. I loved seeing the older fashion and hairstyles, and if I'd known Carrie Fisher was in it, I would have watched it sooner
