Boo! We're giving away CasPel the ghost for free. Guess his weight in grams. 3 nearest guesses win - you have 'til the moon rises on 31st Oct. CasPel will arrive as a deconstructed ghost (4 x snake weights), may some scary stitching in places.

@Hogojohnnie1 @Flight_Refunds @AerLingus I agree @AerLingus are a disgrace and the way they dealt with me and my family from start to finish has been appalling.

@ArchConservator @Flight_Refunds @AerLingus AL are a disgrace
I had to report them to CCPC they gave me 2 vouchers when I insisted on Cash and to make matters worse neither voucher worked

Really disappointed in @AerLingus Delayed flying to Dublin so we missed our connection to NYC. We were put on a plane to Philly so had to make our own way to NY with two small children. They can't even grace us with a response to our claim for costs incurred due to their mistakes

Best quotes from @TinMillPress
'Make do heros' or a 'treat like unwrapping a viscount biscuit' or 'we dont need a repair to be nuclear bomb proof!' And there is always a hair dryer involved! #ARA2022 #SavedTheBestTilLast

Here is conservator @CumbriaArchives Fay Humphreys completing her first ever book repair back in 2012 at @wyorksarchives while doing an archive traineeship. She was hooked on conservation and never looked back. Sorry archivists, we took another one. 🤗 #Archive30 #WhereYouStarted

She's kept me busy for 4 years and I think that's likely to continue. Looking forward to season 2! #GentlemanJack2 #AnneListerDiaries

It's my first day back in the lab and I forgot my headphones! 😭 I rely on them so much. It reminds me of this excellent sign I saw a few years ago at the @agotoronto. I can't image doing in gallery conservation without them.

Wow thank you @ARA_PCG and @conserve_lfcp for an amazing training session on Environmental Sustainability, now to get my skates on and make some changes. I feel empowered!

Here at Wakefield we hold some very special (& rather old) documents from the 12th c. 📜This is an Inspeximus, by Henry de Lacy, confirming a 1194 charter (WMT/PO/1/185). When we retrieve them for a visitor, we all have to take a moment & have a look! #BehindTheScenes
