Oh no, Sue, we are thinking of you all and sending love.

You might find it useful to have a word with Emma Passmore at Imperial who I think is working on this, too!

Ahhhhh. Boatdog has the hang of canal life. Do let us know if ever oop north and we’ll bring Alf to meet you. He’ll be at the Great North Run dispensing professional warm up advice and cheering everyone - esp Alistair- on from the sidelines. He has taken to domestic life like a duck to water!

@drdeena.bsky.social You’ll be pleased to see our new recruit , Alf, enjoying his first ever trip afloat on the Keswick Launch today! After chatting amiably with the skipper he lay flat out by his feet and snoozed for the whole trip! #GreytBoatdog

Great start to #AHEConference2025 - I got to lead a workshop looking at assessment change (lots of engagement and ideas) and now at the mini keynotes - always such a valuable conference.

Hope everyone travelled safely home from #AHEConference2025 in Manchester. Inspiring contributions from presenters and collegial input from all participants made for a great two days. Food for thought and lots of joy. Thanks to everyone who made this a special gathering. Looking forward to next year
