@daisyeblack.bsky.socialYes! And we are so, so lucky you learnt music and became a teacher! Thousands of people have thrived and danced and played because you had that chance when you were younger.
@tracelarkhall.bsky.socialReposted by @daisyeblack.bsky.socialBaroness Spielman went to Cambridge (for FREE), an institution where term has only just started versus post-92s where they're into week 3 already. But that's not what she means by kicking their heels, is it
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialSuch a waste. They're treating you appallingly.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialThank you! I'm sure some of them are yours too.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialBleak to see my empty desk in the background, but at least it means there is an also empty bookcase you can use! If you come across the medieval books I donated in the unpacking please leave them in a box and I'll bring them home next time I visit. May as well re-home them at my next conference.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialWow, this is fascinating! Thank you for this thread. I've often wondered how exhausting the sea crossing must have been.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialI just can't get my head round the foolishness of this. They're squandering all the goodwill and excitement the Tapestry visit had created.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialWherever this is, the onlookers are so much nicer than UK people would be in this situation, where this would get multiple people shouting 'waaaahheeeey!'

@daisyeblack.bsky.socialThis is appalling.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialGlad you got to see this!

@daisyeblack.bsky.socialIf you didn't get tickets, come to my 'Bayeux Tapestry: the Full Yarn' show and make up the entire tapestry in your head! No queues and you get a whole hour.

Lots of bookings came in this summer, but if you'd like to host a spring performance near you do get in touch.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialI managed an even worse 2, but then I've got better things to do than memorise the faces of random Tories on the shadow cabinet.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialNot wrong, if this was an academic publishing house!
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialThis reminds me of all the very silly brass instrument prototypes I saw in the Brussels musical instruments museum. I think these were all made by the Sax family.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialThis is shameful. Particularly ironic that AI is being asked to assess anything to do with 'cyber security' given the news from Australia.
@daisyeblack.bsky.socialA friend got stuck with a conclusion, so drew a little person with a parachute at the end and the caption 'I'm just going to parachute out of here'. It got a surprisingly sympathetic response from their lecturer!
