Nooooo our favourite pancake-place has closed down and their blueberry pancakes were the best. Sob. Partner has suggested we now have to find a new holiday destination but that might be a tad dramatic?
Guess how close I am to finishing all my work tasks before we leave for the North Sea on Saturday. (Don't, it's depressing, and I'm tired.)

Turns out my 7yo thought I only have to work 3 days/week (i.e. the days I commute to Cologne during term). "Oh NOW I understand why you always say it's a lot of work!" she commented when I explained that this is, unfortunately, not the case. #AcademicParenting
Did you know that over on #jstor there is a freely accessible digital archive of "over 75 magazines, newsletters, and newspapers created by activists and collectives that helped propel the second wave of feminism from the late sixties and early seventies through the end of the 20th century"? It is a great resource to study and read about the history of #feminism. Just keep in mind to never do it uncritically. @histodons #genderhistory @genderhistory https://www.jstor.org/site/reveal-digital/independent-voices/feminist/?searchkey=1691396952542

Die 7jährige hat ihre 4 "Ferienbücher" schon in der 1. Ferienwoche gelesen & 4 pro Woche kaufen geht nicht. Sind also auf der Suche nach Buchreihen für ca. 8jährige, damit wir gezielt in der Bibliothek suchen können. Sie liest gerade Drachenmeister, also gerne Richtung Fantasy. Tipps?
I think my #SummerReading pile (or my subconscious?) is trying to tell me it is time we go to the sea 💙🩵! #WhatAcademicsRead #Reading2023
