Marking philosophy essays from my bed by dictating voice notes on my phone on a Saturday morning. Yay teaching!

It’s less strong but we’re still under a warning for tonight - it’s amber now. Still pretty windy out there.

There was another roof torn off in the street parallel to ours earlier in the day too. And a massive tree down up the road a bit too. 😬

Fire engine two doors down, looks like the roof of the flats may have come off. They’ve cordoned off the pavement around the area. #StormEowyn

Just got jump scared by the emergency alert from the government going off on my phone!

School will be closed tomorrow due to the red weather warning, courtesy of Storm Éowyn, so I’m heading home for an unexpected long weekend!

What do I do now? I run social media. Which was the most relevant major for what I do now? The religious studies, although the political science and acting both also helped.

Good morning, Bluesky! I have been awake since 3.40AM for no good reason and I have to write data-heavy reports on my exam class this morning. I can drink Coke before 8AM, right?

Ugh, this week is already too much and it’s only Tuesday. Please can tomorrow just be a quiet, simple day where I get to teach my classes and write my reports.

It flips between the witches, the Watch, and Death, mostly depending on which book I’ve read most recently. But then my all-time favourite is Small Gods which isn’t any of those. So….🤷🏻‍♀️

The Niece and her fiancé brought the baby over to visit for the first time, so I got to spend the last hour cuddling a newborn. Such a tiny yet solid little bundle. He makes the best grumpy noises! 🥰

Testing out the new facial steamer I got as a Christmas present, and I think I like this! Seems a bit extra but it’s so soothing.

Spent the afternoon doing laundry, cleaning my room, emptying and disinfecting the litter tray, sorting and taking out the recycling, and emptying all the bins and taking the rubbish out. Not nearly as fun as last Saturday, but I do feel a definite sense of satisfaction now it’s done.

I know it, and could work it out in context here, but on first read it did jar me and I had to think about it for a second.

A lot of people seem to really like it. I find it really hard to use, confusing and impossible to follow conversations on.

Made it through 1st day back (no students today, just staff meetings and trainings). Sadly a colleague died on Friday so morning sessions were cancelled apart from a brief meeting to share the sad news and supports available. I didn’t know him particularly well but he was always kind and friendly.

It is currently 1C here and not expected to get above 3C today. I am wearing all the cosy things.

It is a) cold, b) dark, and c) early. Consider this my official complaint! On a bus and heading to school. Here we go again!

Home safe and getting ready for bed. Goodnight Bluesky, see you in the morning when I will no doubt whine about a) dark, b) cold, and c) early. Sweet dreams!

I have been to the British Library and to Hadestown and to Greenwich this weekend, and now I am relaxing in the 1st Class Lounge at King’s Cross, having said goodbye to @vae.bsky.social

Got to train station early (as usual), but pleasantly surprised to get platform number almost half an hour before departure. Am on train with 20 mins to go!

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
