A post on the awful new strategic direction of Clarivate It will erode #Libraries offer, limit services, & fix the already broken ebook market into permanent "R&P" type arrangements Bad for the #Library, bad for students, bad for academics, great for shareholders www.linkedin.com/posts/anthon...

Not sure why BBC R2 needed to play the national anthem just before 8am to wish the King 'Happy Birthday'? Pretty sure they never did that for Liz.... #odd

I'm not normally a numbers girl, but today I've compiled data, analysed the data and written a report based on the data. Feeling quite pleases with myself, especially as I'm feeling rubbish with a tooth infection. 📚

Meant to be going out on Saturday with friends, planned months ago. I've been feeling ropey all week but decided to look in the wardrobe to chivvy me along - nothing to wear. Contemplating staying home in my PJs.

One day, I will pick the little'un up from school and when asked how their day was, the reply will be "great". Reader, today was not that day. #mumlife

Lunchtime stint on a library enquiry hub on day 1 of freshers. Totally out of my comfort zone, but amazing what you remember!

Today's lunchtime - I bought the shoes! #newshoes not the weather will be unseasonably warm and I can go back to my sandals for a few more days!

Marie Lancaster @gingergalwales.bsky.social · 12/09/2024

Lunch hour thoughts right now - how much longer can I stay in my sandal? Which should I purchase: leather shoes or suede shoes. Same style and colour, just different material. #shoetweet #decisions

Beef in slow cooker for tomorrow's roast. Chips prepped for tea later to go with homemade burgers. House cleaned, little'uns room sorted. Craft room & bedding to sort tomorrow! I've earned a glass of wine now, surely?

Marie Lancaster @gingergalwales.bsky.social · 07/09/2024

Sorting out the little'uns wardrobe. I tend not to go in her room that much, coz ya know teenagers. However it needs doing. So far, we are half done and zero arguments!
