@writing_innit HNYAD! Hope you have a fabulous holiday x

Haven't drank this much Chang since I was 22

@pascalepoet @BloodaxeBooks Happy birthday month!

It’s my birthday month (first time I’ve made it a month because it’s a special one I never thought I’d make and it’s looking likely. For the first day a poem: My poem ‘Macaw Mummy’ from Mama Amazonica (@BloodaxeBooks)

@GregBuzwell @BacklistedPod The Mezzotint is one of my favourites. Will listen to this!

@writing_innit Fancy another trip?

Second time seeing Hamilton in the last three months. It is utter perfection and the current Aaron Burr is also a total babe 😋

It's time to get your tickets to the Woodstock Poetry Festival! On 1 December, our colleagues Alex Ault and Laura Walker are in conversation about their book, Poems in Progress (available at all good bookshops including @BL_Shop) 😍 eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-woodstoc…

@londonmikmaq I lived nearby in 2000 and this was the only time I saw the door open. In fairness, there could have been a shortage of watermelons which forced them to diversify.

@londonmikmaq The watermelon shop on Caledonian Road? If so, I once walked past and the door was open revealing hundreds of identical … black leather jackets!

@craighambling Wow, well done you. That’s tough and brilliant. Now, you will have no idea how you found the time to achieve this!

@CarenzaLewis @BritishAcademy_ Wonderful news! Chris would have been delighted for you x

I am amazed, delighted and very proud to be awarded the @BritishAcademy_ medal for Landscape #Archaeology, for my work advancing knowledge of the origins and development of today’s rural towns and villages, when the main emphasis in the past was on deserted settlements …

@TanyaKirk @writing_innit 😂

My WhatsApp is going wild... bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

@writing_innit Accidentally step on (and destroy) the 2005 Gevrey Chambertin and see how he likes them grapes.

My husband really really hated these and they are now broken because he 'accidentally' stepped on them 😐

Henrietta Anne, Duchess of Orléans, and the Secret Treaty of Dover (1670). New blogpost for @UntoldLives by @BL_ModernMSS PhD placement student Isabel Maloney. @BL_European shar.es/afNWn6

@writing_innit I also really dislike the word “showcasing”.

As someone who works in the museum sector, I really dislike this hackneyed use of the word 'curate' 🤢

@racheljclamp @ncllibspeccoll @libraryncl Lovely news! So pleased for you.

Absolutely delighted to be starting my first day in my shiny new job as Special Collections and Archives Assistant @ncllibspeccoll @libraryncl 📚✨🥹 I’ll still be PhD’ing (part time) but I’m super excited for this new chapter working in archives! ✨💛

Thank you. So glad you enjoyed it.

@Emma_Shepley Hello, it’s Blythburgh Estuary, Suffolk 1893 by Roger Fry. Wonderful painting. I have the same postcard.

Help! Art-knowing people - can you identify the artist of this tiny blurred postcard in my sister's flat - she loves it, has lost it & wants another one. (I've failed)

@CCockburn2 @BLMedieval Woo hoo! This is really wonderful news and so deserved. Congratulations.

@racheljclamp You poor thing! Really hope you have a speedy recovery. X

A couple of weeks ago I slipped and fell on the ice on my way to the library and shattered my ankle. Two surgeries and a few plates and screws later and I’m finally home resting! (Finn is being a very good nurse) ✨

@gosspoems @BL_Publishing @britishlibrary Thank you, Rebecca. Nearly every family member has been given a copy this Christmas! X
