@RevRichardColes Marguerite Patten’s ancient (1974) recipe works well

@blgtylr I wouldn’t. You might never leave…

Three books that could be quite useful for the UK's new Labour government.

@william_whyte Sigh

Here’s a view I’ve never seen before — from the bridge over New College Lane

@paullewismoney Incorporate doughnut economics @KateRaworth

So we have an economist in No.11 Downing Street for the first time since 1947. What would your priorities be for Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves? I'll collate your views.

@ArtyBagger Yep

All of Scotland currently browsing fantasy sunny holiday deals.

Emily Brontë as agony aunt please! Wonderful stuff @katefoxwriter @R4TheVerb

@complexcase @ElgarPublishing @GerritsLasse @UvA_IAS @durham_uni A different type of Discourse Dynamics indeed.

@youngvulgarian Language change meets shopping opportunity

@wmarybeard For the first 5 or so years, one can be the academic one always wanted to be - thinking and writing and reading. After that…?

Is Cambridge University right to enforce a retirement age? I think so – who wants to be a ‘job blocker’? But what are you supposed to do between retiring and dying? Visit the grandkids on your senior railcard???? theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@complexcase @ElgarPublishing @GerritsLasse @UvA_IAS @durham_uni Sounds fascinating. I wrote on complex systems and applied linguistics back in the 2000s but had difficulty persuading social science colleagues it was relevant to their fields..

@VBivar Non-negotiable first hour of the day for what matters most changed it for me. And learning to say no to invitations, before getting too sick to go. Enjoyed your contribution to Oxford Ministry for the Future event though!

Tom Service to Stephen Osborne “it’s not easy … the lifelong journey to be yourself” Just as I’m writing about the courage needed to make art, to speak out in your own voice. @BBCRadio3

@drivingasap @TheSnowDreamer I remember- it snowed in Cambridge in June. I was doing ‘teaching practice’.

@TheSnowDreamer June 1975 had very similar and within 3 days it was 28c

Snow showers might not just be confined to high mountain. I’ve never seen such a cold air mass modelled in June it is distinctly wintry.

@DanEricRohde Write the book

@Helenreflects Pat and Edward in Old Filth by Jane Gardam. She’s so good on loveless families…

@philosofemme Changed my life

75 years ago #onthisday the first volume of Simone de Beauvoir’s The Second Sex was published. Within a week, it sold over 20,000 copies. Within months, Beauvoir expressed astonishment that it attracted the attention—and attacks—that it did.

@KateMolleson @BBCRadio3 Alumna of @hilda_beastoxf And a hero!

@MinxMarple No. But it is possible to plan a career move

is it possible to die of boredom in a staff meeting? asking for a me.

@jntod It’s what we do. But not all we do.
