@nectar hello. Tried to spend nectar points in store (should have had c £60 worth) and found they were missing. In store customer service advised the card had been hacked/cloned and told us to contact yourselves and you'd be able to help... So hoping you can please?

Nearly had our side taken out by @AmazonUK lorry GL64 ENM. Stationary traffic, he wanted to pull across into our lane so decided to do so regardless of us literally sat next to him. Stupid driving and dangerous; not sure if drunk or a bully. Thank god mum's got good reactions.

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

@True_Pordgy Please do. Genuinely!

And let us never forget the topic that got us back in touch 😂

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

Well, a bird pooing on my face right before my annual review meeting was not on my to-do list for today.

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

Will have to wait until after the weekend to play this but I am rather excited!

Mask of the Rose is out now on Steam, GOG and Nintendo Switch!

Lose your heart to a stolen city. Solve a murder with the help of the victim. Find love, in any form you like.

Or sack all of that off in favour of discovering the origins of the tentacle in the basement.

@tomasstanger It's the unknown as well, at least in my case! Break a leg for whenever your review is though.

As for viva, yep, nervous about that one this end too!

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

@tomasstanger Joking aside, annual reviews aren't such a heavy thing - more to check things are going well. I'm guessing we're at different universities but if you want to chat anything through feel free to drop me a line.

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

@tomasstanger Don't get too confident... Mine was via Teams too. These birds plot and find a way!

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

@ferry_swainson My family found it utterly hilarious. Annual review was good, thankfully, thank you. Presume you have one coming up/just had one too?

[Ola Ojewumi @Olas_Truth]

If there isn’t a virtual option, it isn’t accessible to disabled people.

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

@ferry_swainson It's when you see improvements five minutes after submission you need to worry!

Somehow managed to write 5,000 words this morning. Slightly concerned, when I come back to edit this afternoon, that it'll be 90% rubbish!

Universities: “We support #AcademicMentalHealth”

Us: “Reduce workloads, accommodate disabled and neurodivergent staff, increase stipends, take action against bullies, increase postdoc salaries, create more permanent jobs”

Universities: “Not like that”

@AnyaFlorence_ @navsa Thanks for this Anya - certainly is!

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

@shaunpotts Oh I am so pleased! Look like good seats after all that! Service fees are high for the messy service mind 😂

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

@shaunpotts I wish I could say "I can't believe this!" but somehow I'm not surprised. Disgusted but not surprised. Hopefully it's sorted promptly so you can just look forward to the event with no more stress.

[Bethany @BE_Chadburn]

@shaunpotts Between block 110 and 111 from what she said on the phone. Think the invoice says 111. Around there anyway!

Please tell me you've got through?
