@Gregchthomas Congratulations for the Civil ceremony nuptials- and yes- chances are unless you are the first born you are probably one of several “blobs in a baby bonnet “ (as a much older and wiser mum Once described her large brood to me).

My mum is prepping a set of cute photos of me as a kid to show at my civil ceremony. She showed me the selection for my approval. Four of the ten photos aren't of me. [Perils of a large family I guess]

Delighted to have been awarded a small grant from @BeingHumanFest to explore the history of Hellesdon Hospital through artefact, art and poetry for this year’s #BeingHuman2023 With @NSFTtweets @Hospital_Rooms @NUAresearch

Poetry Twitter- can anyone suggest where I should start with contemporary/ concrete or experimental Norwegian poetry in translation?

@Gregchthomas @BBCFreeThinking @DrMatthewSweet It’s tomorrow night @Gregchthomas but perhaps, like the Dom, you “ have now given up time”.
