constantly impressed by my amazing capacity to find new ways to procrastinate. would have thought by my 40s I'd have done them all to death by now, but no, seems i'm always learning, always growing ✊

@Son_Of_Ray Good in general, thanks. Attempting to write MA dissertation, hence new and unprecedented outbreaks of procrastination 😊

Almost 20 years ago, I threw together some interesting data my classes had collected about the word 'dude.' We're now interested in how it might have changed. Please help by taking the survey and forwarding to friends!

A small spat with a male friend last night who said I shouldn't presume what happened to that poor head and her daughter at that college.
But seems it did happen. It's depressingly easy to presume for women.

interviewing someone and having to ‘mmm’ and ‘uh-huh’ when they say ‘oh we HAD to move out of London FOR THE KIDS’ when you have three kids growing up very happily in bloody amazing London is one of the most frustrating narratives to have to engage in

@_beckyhoward Oh oh no, who was it? I'm still traumatised by the batteries going on my dictaphone half way through an interview with Julie Walters 😱😱 Since then I've been hyper-vigilant but clearly having a run of bad luck now...

This is really sad to hear. I have better memories of Grange Hill than my own schooldays. She was brilliant

Bc of the age gap between my kids, this week marks my 36th term of waiting to collect a child from the infant playground.
2011 me: strolls merrily into school, searching for friends to chat & gossip with
2022 me: skulks in hiding under umbrella, praying no-one speaks to me

Just learned about the death of Bernard Cribbins. His stories on Jackanory brought all the characters to life - he was my favourite reader. He made anything he was a 100 times better. And he somehow seemed to have been old and kind forever. Thanks for all the joy.

@MarianKeyes @sophiegrenham Omg me too. Natural introvert. Also most unsuited job option for me, ever: dog walker. But I know this is many people’s dream career
