I’m getting a content unavailable message on that which means I’m going to have to figure out rice all by myself now. Regards, Daunted in Norwich.

Ok, who had ‘boozing in the stands’ on their policy priority bingo card? Absolutely fucking no one? Uh huh.

Still feeling ridiculously giddy about the new title, so what better start of year gift to self than some professorial personalised refillable whiteboard pens. Bloody hell, I love a new pen (or 3)
A box of 3 Toms Studio refillable whiteboard pens. One green, one red, and one black. There are also 2 small ink bottles in each colour. Each pen has ‘Prof Kate Stewart’ engraved in it.

It’s so nice to have young people back on campus (and the cafes back open). Also, leftover free pizza brought to the staff kitchen every day. Woohoo.

Could someone please give Nasser some lessons in how to say ‘Aneurin’? 🏏

Maybe. At this point of the year I have only the slimmest of notions as to what the goings on in the garden might produce.

Stupendous night out at the Shepherds Bush Empire. So many old folk (us included) having a smashing time.

What better way to warm up for the new academic year than a quick rewatch of A Very Peculiar Practice. Plus ca change…

Back from 2 days on trains from Warsaw, just in time for very weary traveller partner to make it to Carrow Road. I think the first 5 minutes will have perked him right up, while I loll on the sofa watching it rain at Lord’s to the sound of jolly canaries.

Got to be first thing on the planning list for any academic conference. We’ll want coffee, lots of it, at all hours.

Mate, they don’t even have coffee.

Carefully hoarded since last century. It’s all going to still work fine, right? Thanks Techniquest 1999.

Climate induced farming crisis, or livestock farming induced climate crisis? I wish news coverage would include a bit more emphasis on livestock farming as a cause of climate change, cos a lot of it reads to me like ‘sector says ouch while wondering how it can keep punching itself in the face’.

5 years after moving to Norwich, it’s still not uncommon for us to be out and about, turn to each other and incredulously go “WE LIVE HERE!!”

Glorious weekend family celebrations gave my brother the chance to recount (with proof) the tale of when my dad threatened to turn his Clavinet into a planter if he didn’t come and pick it up (long after he’d moved out). Here it still lies. Never call dad’s bluff.

By that logic there’d be less cheating for the men involved, but logically the women in those teams would have to put up with more of it than they currently do.

It could have been, but it might have been that you were already here and I shared a bunch of invite codes with you to help you get friends off that other place, which I do remember. I always had more invite codes than I could use, which says *something* about me and the people I hang around with 🤣

Heading off to the ‘Big Reunion Weekend’ at Cardiff Uni, where I started my academic journey 40 years ago this year. Starting the trip on a nationalised rail service feels about right. Which one for the smoking carriage?

This does not appear to be typical of 10pm on a Saturday at the Garnet.

NSS results day tomorrow. Like Christmas Eve but if the best outcome is that all the toys you already own haven’t been chucked in the bin overnight. Spreadsheets and RAG rating at the ready.
