Completely out of character to sit down and watch a film on my own on a weeknight, let alone opt to watch one that is rated 18, however I cannot believe I have only just heard of this film. Loved it; now even more excited about seeing Bruges for myself this week #filmsky πŸ“½οΈ

Over the last few months I have learned what a privilege it is to care for a loved one. In my experience, those simple moments of catering for a person’s most basic of needs has been and continues to be a true act of love. Our time may be shortening but the love strengthens #carer #cancersucks

I loved this series and in hindsight, it probably established me as a reader 😊

I agree. It tackled some big subjects without compromising on story or characters.

What is not acknowledged is the precarious position UK HE is in at the moment and whether a) EU students would actually benefit from coming and b) how UK HE institutions would facilitate and at what cost. Hopefully this is being considered somewhere. #UKHE

It was a recommendation from the amazing Mr B’s Book Emporium in Bath. I had asked them to recommend me some reading that would teach me something about Japan before my trip there last October. Such a powerful story.

Have now read the description and know it will be a hit. I have some Waterstones points to use so think this will be the one. Thanks so much for sharing.

Embarrassing. I remember soon after Brexit we crossed the border and we hadn’t got my son to β€˜sign’ his passport. He was about 10. It was simply pointed out by the French border force and we were waved through.

I can definitely relate to this. Big plans for the Christmas break as these last few weeks are relentless.

Little anecdotes like this make me love being competent in another language. It would also seem that I see more German language posts on here than I did on the other side #bilingual (sort of) πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί

Sorry late to this one as one of the #blueskynewbies. I haven’t read it yet but wonder if β€œSurviving and thriving in HE professional services” by Rachel Reeds fulfils the brief.
