Here to talk #TheArchers, hiking, Digital Humanities, Linguistics if I'm feeling brave, and maybe show off some photography. Late diagnosed ADHD, so I should probably be doing something else right now...

Apropos of nothing, I suddenly recall the time I was the only woman in a colonial US history grad seminar. The convo veered to the “acceptable number of rapes” in a particular war. The stodgy male prof let it continue until I, the lone female, stood up and threatened to leave unless he stopped it

I really wish they'd lose this sax music at the end. That's not how we do music in the UK. It's barely how they do music in the US any more! #SNLUK

Well now this is the only way I'm going to sing this from now on! Sorry, anyone that ever sits in a room with me while the credits to this film roll. And there will come a point where I'll forget why I do it, baffling everyone, including myself. Nom na-nom nommm, Nom na-nommm It's already started

Very pertinent to the work going on in our little @ukiedh.bsky.social #PeTRA-CIG at the moment... protecting researchers and practitioners needs to be part of all research projects at all stages. Great work from the team at Leeds here!

Ooooh, I'm not normally a fan of cold-shoulder tops, but that black dress on Siobhán is absolutely the cat's pyjamas, the bees knees, AND the mutt's nuts! #TraitorsIRL

Jesus Natasha, if a bride tells you that it's adults only at their wedding, don't get all stroppy and give them a guilt trip. Weddings are expensive, and if you have to pay for kids meals it gets even more £££££! Just accept the brides' choice with grace even if you don't agree with it #TheArchers

Pauric is going to need to guage his reaction to when Janet inevitably gets 'murdered' VERY carefully here. If he goes too big in his "someone's after setting me up" schtick, they'll.. likely still vote DJ out #TraitorsIRL

So, I kinda don't understand why Anna is still fuming over the shield, because ultimately it meant that all 5 of them were protected from murder cos the others had no idea who got it either 🤷‍♀️ #TraitorsIRL

So do we think Harrison has access to funds for a deposit on a new place, cos after Jolene finds out he's either going to need to look on RightMove or move in with Lily, Ben and Paul? Assuming he can still walk, of course #TheArchers

Well, tonight's ep was a difficult listen. If it wasn't Harrison and Lily's awkward pillow talk that's somehow worse than the flirting (why bring up her other inappropriate past relationship, H, good move), it was Anna and Carole bickering horribly. #TheArchers

Sam and Diego are absolute sweethearts. I don't think I'm being at all controversial in saying that. I think we're all in agreement that they, and Diego's marvelous geansaís (sp?) should be protected at all costs. #TraitorsIRL

So, George returned his old form wrt to women in roles of authority, and Harrison moped on at Lily like a Ginger Eeyore. #TheArchers

Oh dear. A non-Archer got righteously cross with an Archer. That can't POSSIBLY be allowed in Ambridge. Sounds like Pat is off to restore the natural order of things #TheArchers

Oh dear Khalil, before you go off on one about informing the public you might want to inform yourself about GDPR and UK Dara Protection regs! Posting photos of people without consent is a no-no! #TheArchers #GDPR #ImformedConsent

Right, now I'm all caught up on #TheArchers. Ugh, the horror of hearing Harrison flirting. The 'harror'? But why was Rex putting all the blame on Lily? Elsewhere, prob inevitable that Diane would put a bad review everywhere. Perhaps best if R & L don't respond though, it always looks defensive.

Catching up on #TheArchers after a weekend away. Good lord, that Diane the awful B&B guest is a piece of work. I thought I was socially inept but jaysus she couldn't read a room if it came with pictures! She's lucky Robert didn't pour that coffee over her head! I would have.

Yesterday's eclipse from our back garden here in Ireland #Eclipse2026 #SolarEclipseIreland #SolarEclipse
The sun sits in the centre almost covered by the moon, looking like a thin crescent, in a partially cloudy sky.  In the foreground, leaves from an apple tree and the neighbour's chimney vent frame the image in silhouette.

Blimey it was another 'Spidermans' moment listening to Amber and Lily in last night's ep. But.. how on earth are they friends? Lily must be a good few years older than Amber, and I don't think I've ever heard of them meeting before? Now they're sharing cheesecake... #TheArchers

Blimey it was all a bit aggy tonight, wasn't it?! I mean, I was annoyed with almost all of 'em! Fallon for wanting to talk replacements while in the middle of a busy lunch service; Jolene for her selfishness, and Kenton for being making it all about him because 'family'. #TheArchers

Ah jaysis, I knew a Harrison ep would be a struggle to get through, but saying he feels he's let down god because of his and Fallon's split, I mean christ could he get more nauseating?! And self-agrandising. #TheArchers
