Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Had plums that were near going over. Made some plum pickle (fridge pickle). Plums, balsamic vinegar (2tbs), maple syrup (2tsp), cinnamon, nutmeg, (pinch), salt(pinch), soy sauce (bit) water (2tbs), 25 minutes on the hob. Tastes good. Lasts 7-9 days in fridge. 010
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 08/09/2026The rather terrible syncronicity of my timeline. 011
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I suppose it's too much to hope for that the (what looks like an awfully thin policy document) refers to Garage and Ysless and their likely end? 100
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Carrot, roasted pepper and tomato (garlic, ginger, bit of coriander, thyme) soup tonight. Not bad at all. 000
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 21/12/2025I raise you Derry. Apparently at 13.00 we have sun (and cloud obvs) for one whole hour (so only 40 mins to wait). 010
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 09/12/2025I will fit into this box. I just need to try a little harder 030
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 04/12/2025Top trolling from #Canada (scroll down for advert 😊) 020
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 04/12/2025I get an email from the Northern Ireland version of the NHS App, 'My Care', saying to 'check in'. It gives me a time and, a place. I have not been asked if I'm available (I am), or given detials of where I go. The location pin is 'dead'. Wondering if 'My Care' should be changed to 'You Do'. 010
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 12/09/2025And this one is because I’m waiting to hear if we have exchanged contracts. 130
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 11/09/2025Yes, I am doing a title and abstract screening of 2,247 papers. 👇 240
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 25/12/2024To honour Hanukkah and Christmas coming together, I’m wearing my Croc headlights. Gifted to me by a colleague, who knows me too well, they also disco flash. Best #present ever. 030
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 24/12/2024However you celebrate, emulate bug and cricket in peacefulness. 040
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 18/12/2024As I move to a new role (and more later); I've been thinking and talking to those I line manage about the qualities and, expertise a line manager should hold. While all were clear on poor line management (see screen shot 👇), all had different views of of a good #LineManager. Thoughts #Bluesky? 010
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 04/10/2024Bummer. The 13.30 was cancelled, the next at 14.06 hasn’t arrived, but apparently were boarding shortly. Mind you, the cause of the delay is just horrible. 010
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 01/10/2024Wonderful that 1)Wales actually has a dementia strategy 2) that Dementia Care Mapping is part of their delivery. Fabulous Wales 🏴 183

Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 13/09/2024Congratulations to the 50 academics that won an Ignoble Award yesterday. They tossed 350,757 coins to assess if they landed on the same or a different side. This is what I really love from their paper: 020
Karen Windle @profwindle.bsky.social · 04/09/2024#Grenfell It would seem that, for @conservatives.bsky.social , lying and, not apologising about lying is endemic. The below from the man who "slashed [housing] regulations" to the extent that 72 people died and, a community was wreaked. No apology, but a mere 'nothing to do with me guv' approach. 3159
