Indexes are so important! Otherwise how would I have discovered the discussion of the Hamlet's father's ghost in the book on early modern science that I was looking at in the library?
NY resolution: 'Do more proper cooking' - so two individual vegan shepherd's pies, both for me
This! Have just been listening
There to greet me when I returned from my early morning #stetwalk - Tiny, the little brother of Slowly
I have nothing to hide!
Yesterday I discovered that I could make Lists on Bluesky! I am late to every party – but thrilled, nevertheless.

Editors truly know the value of editorial feedback 🙂
Colourful and sunny morning #stetwalk - love this time of year!

If you’re in the London area and fancy a morning or afternoon out towards the end of the month, why not drop in at the Small Publishers Fair (27-28 Oct, Conway Hall)?

Whooooo
So today I bought new cushions for the office comfy corner - surely a legitimate business expense
Here's one for all my friends and colleagues who like creepy scary things and all my friends and colleagues who like reading short stories - I think that covers nearly everyone
And with Bluesky I get an added Ella Fitzgerald earworm every time I log on
My colleagues @bho.bsky.social are now here - for updates on one of the largest collections of sources for British history available on the web, give them a follow. #HistorySky 🗃️
Didn't know Follow Friday was a thing on Bluesky - maybe it isn't - but let's do it!
Is #stetpet a thing? it should be ... it must be ...
One week left to book for the Society of Indexers conference on Tues 26th Sept in Leeds. I’ll be there, officially talking about CPD tips for Fellowship, and cryptic crossword setting compared to index writing, and unofficially much more besides. See also you at #SIConf23?
