You might be right, because I’ve also found the giant Blackwell’s and I also get a student discount in there… 😂😅

Apologies to the tourists, I can’t spend the next four years trying to avoid walking right into your photo

If you’re wondering the answer to ‘how long until I stop politely trying to avoid getting in tourist shots of my college while I’m trying to go places and just start walking through them?’ It’s about a week There’s some down sides to the pretty famous college hey 😅

I think the clearest sign about how much my confidence has grown, is that you can put me in a full room of Oxford postgrad strangers and I will chime up to overly disagree with someone’s take about inclusivity (or against inclusivity, rather)

I did a similar thing walking across the oval at uni once and called my brother who hadn’t left home yet to bring me a pair of socks I was literally just complaining to my Australian friends that I’m too Australian for this ‘feels like 6 degrees’ weather 😂

One benefit of the cold and rain that’s now hit is that the boots I brought are worn in and comfy! (Silver lining)

What’s a girl to do in Oxford but take herself on a little photoshoot around college?

I highly don’t recommend moving overseas not having fully worn in your new ‘walking everywhere’ shoes and having left your old ones at home - just in case you were considering this silly decision

I was like exactly 3 words under And then for my MA, the office said I was over the word count and I had an email freak out at Kathleen over it 😂

I was up to 2am the night before mine was due cutting it down into the word count 😅

The fact that seeing people wearing a helmet is so comparatively rare that my family comments when we see a helmet is 😩

Lucy Moloney @lucyelm.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
Other Australian laws England should implement: needing to wear a helmet when you’re riding a bike. WEAR YOUR HELMET

Hey Siri, define ‘British cocoa grower’

I might be a Melbournian coffee snob but I’m also a basic girlie who loves a pumpkin spice - I’m having a great time being in autumn

My parents rented a car to help me move into my accom. I have learnt two important lessons: 1. Do not drive in Oxford. What is a 1 mile walk becomes a 9 mile drive 2. My dad shouldn’t be allowed to drive with a gps in miles and feet. He’s never missed so many turns in his life

Years ago a friend and I were touring the UK, we got on a bus somewhere in Cornwall and when the bus driver asked where we were going ‘Bristol’, he gave us the weirdest wtf look and a slow ‘right’ (it was a night stop over before she flew to Ireland and I went to Wales)
