So excited about my new puzzle. Who knows, I might even finish it in the near future!

Woke up randomly thinking of Raiktor, the Eastern Orthodox monk that pretended to be Eastern emperor Michael VII.
Everyone probably knew he wasn't, obviously, but his presence suited many people. Most of all that sly fox Robert Guiscard, who used him as a casus belli.

One of the most wondrous things about toddlers is their seemingly random associations. Our eldest saw a camel on tv and said he looked like dad... still trying to figure that one out.

Four years ago I took this photo of my soon-to-be new hometown, Groningen. Still in love with this city.

Universities do not exist to 'train', produce 'skills' or generate 'impact'. They exist to create new knowledge and teach about it. Any assertion to the contrary is in error, and is destroying everything it touches.

You know that the old app has gotten even worse when you wake up to a notification from a certain Matt G*tz (whom I don't follow of course). Not how I want to start my day. But it has made me motivated enough to finally figure out how to stop notifications so there's that

I don't think we have access to iPlayer here, and everything else sounds too technical for me 😅 but I'm sure they'll repeat it at some point.

Yes I love Brokenwood and Mrs Sidhu. Have heard of the other 2 but not seen a lot yet.

Escaping from all the stuff that's going on in the world right now by watching (mostly British) detective series. Amongst the current faves are Sister Boniface, Shetland, Madame Blanc, and McDonald & Dodds. What are others watching/doing to take their minds of things?

I've just realised I haven't introduced our cat to twitter yet! Our sweet, anxious, allergic Ivar, who is still figuring out how to be a cat. This involves jumping into rather than onto things, being terrified of mice, and anxiously peeing in the baby's bed.

Haha yes that's understandable! But I think you'll find out what you need along the way.

Ah ok! Well apart from cooking utensils, I can't think of that many other things.

The baby is now 5 months old, and I'm finally starting to have a bit of me-time in the evenings. Soon I might be able to actually read more than a couple of sentences in a book again. Honestly so excited.
