Fantastic opportunity in what I regard as one of the most rewarding jobs in the university sector. If you are passionate about social justice, access, take a look @OUScotland @OpenUniversity (PS I’m not ‘retiring’ per se just want more time for other things!)

After 9 years with the OU in Scotland our Director, Susan Stewart, will be retiring next year. We are now recruiting for our new Director, committed to our mission 'open to people, places, method and ideas'. Applications close on 29 October: joinopenuniversity.com

Perhaps inevitable that my mental health wouldn’t be on an even keel after the last few months, but today has been tough. I’ve had a change of medication too so I’m no longer protected from anxiety (bye bye beta blockers!). All in all lots of overwhelm and worry. Urgh.

My wife Rebecca and I were overjoyed to welcome our daughter Cora on the 26th June at 8.06pm. She’s squishy, loud, has the biggest feet and we loved her from the first second ☀️❤️🥰

@kerriandrewsuk So sorry Kerri - sounds like a lovely way to mark the occasion though and a great reflection to make.

So it’s official: I am being made redundant, with my last day of work the 28th of this month. I have marked the occasion by swinging in a hammock in a garden abuzz with bees, thinking how lucky I am to have my family and my friends. I’m available for all things bookish from now!
