She's going to London this morning so could get off at Salisbury and and get a following train as well

@SW_Help my wife left her phone on the 1702 arrival at Axminster last night. Location shows it at Salisbury Station, is there a way she can collect it? Ideally from Waterloo or Axminster if possible

@richove @bodleianlibs And here's the Radcliffe Camera roof from the Weston Library earlier today. Really useful visit, thanks to your team Richard.

EXTRA DATE ADDED! 🤩 Not long until @jackwhitehall pays us a visit with his brand-new tour show, Settle Down. Haven’t got your ticket yet? Hurry, tickets selling fast! 🎟️ bit.ly/ent-jack-white…

I’m thrilled that @UniofExeter has been ranked No. 1 British university for our work on climate change. Overall we’re 3rd highest UK institution for impact, 18th in the world. It’s a joy to work with brilliant colleagues on the vital issues of our time. timeshighereducation.com/news/impact-ra…

OK, just for fun, what is missing here?

I may be biased but this is absolute genius

@Tate_StIves Are you open today? Your Facebook post says you are and this post says you're not. Confused ...

@bibliojenni I'd say the same as @Dr_Sarah_P. There's no huge difference between ideas and details. The important thing is they're said. People spot different things and have different approaches, you'll see things others won't, never any need to feel silly.

@JamesAE Thanks, James, that is a good perspective. I think this is really relevant. It's not so much about hearing their ideas as about when details are pointed out in a project that seem obvious & I feel silly for overlooking them.

Management advice wanted, please. My amazing team are full of useful, detailed suggestions. How can I stop myself from thinking, "I should have thought of that; how could I have forgotten something important like that?", etc.

@bibliojenni People want to be able to change their work. Can you look at how you all come up with ideas and in what areas, if you know each others strengths you can use them much more. e.g. I once had someone who was great at seeing how changes would affect people when others wouldn't

@bibliojenni Not sure about specific techniques but that's exactly what your team is there for, you can't & shouldn't have all the ideas yourself. It's a sign of your success that they are coming up with ideas and sharing with you. Would be much worse if they weren't.

@bibliojenni @greens_books Did I see you say it's being recorded. I've got to go and sit outside a theatre for a couple of hours (deleting emails vs watching the Crucible, email backlog wins). If the theatre wifi holds up I'll swap emails for bindings, if not then the recording if there is one

Speaking of which, only a few hours to sign up to hear Arthur from @greens_books, Cathedral archivist Elizabeth Semper O'Keefe & me talk about some lovely books tonight. I know there are some other exciting events tonight, but if you want to stay in we'd love to have you.😊

@beilinglaoshi @bibliojenni Sadly I think those days are long past me now

@JamesAE @bibliojenni People will probably still tell you that when you're in your 60s, James

Recently I have been introduced to 2 people as the librarian, and toward the end of the conversation they have said, "So are you the head librarian?" and this does nothing for my imposter syndrome.

Excellent start to the holidays with @squeezyjohn and @jackieoates Christmas gig at @HalswayManor. Staying the night really made it a proper break, there can be lovely views but the frozen maypole in the grey will have to do
