It was an absolute pleasure to be at the opening of Staffordshire History Centre yesterday. Great to see the new public spaces and have a sneaky look around the strong room.

A very delayed train, but Iโ€™ve got a seat and Iโ€™m warm so canโ€™t really complain.

Very early start this morning. Heading to London for an in person DCDC meeting. Iโ€™m sure the announcement on the platform just said โ€œSheffield via Mordorโ€. Letโ€™s hope we can avoid that!

Weโ€™ve put a lot of work into making Bluesky a healthier social network. This app is designed to give you a choice โ€” in what you want to see, what you donโ€™t want to see, and how you want to interact.

Some tips on how to customize your experience:

I might even try to post rather than repost now Iโ€™m here. So in honour of that. Today is busy. Very busy. The calendar doesnโ€™t suggest itโ€™s busy but it is.
