So am I. It was going to be wonderful. Mind you, I'm a bit sick and had to warn the organisers I would have to pull out but it was a huge disappointment. And then the whole conference was due to COVID. Made me feel a little less lonely about it.

Congratulations @drnaomi

@drnaomi @racheljedwards2 Please keep me posted too, Naomi.

Are these the NSW History prizes?

It doesn’t get glam-er than this. #MarilynMonroe wore this scarlet rayon #velvetdress to the 1956 premiere of the movie A View From The Bridge. The body conscious contours flare into a fishtail, a fiery #mermaid dress @museodelamoda

This 1889 view of Cobbler's Bay in #Sydney is by Edward Perier, a French painter and teacher. Perier arrived in Sydney in 1882 and devoted most of his life to educational reforms for teaching languages. #WatercolourWednesday

Congratulations. That's great news.

[Phillipa McGuinness @pipmcg]

Today I start a new job. How I would love to be walking into the glorious State Library of NSW instead of into my home office, so familiar by now. But wherever I do it, I'm so excited to be the new editor of the @statelibrarynsw Openbook magazine for the next year.

[Babette Smith @BabetteSmith]

Beautiful girl...! And clever too.

[Dr Kate Strasdin @kateStrasdin]

So fresh are the colours of this mid #1770s robe à la française that it looks as if it has just had its final silk chenille #trimmings stitched into place for the customer to admire. It is candy stripe bright, a chocolate box gown delectable in its details @LACMA #18thcentury

[Babette Smith @BabetteSmith]

Gorgeous boy!

[Babette Smith @BabetteSmith]

Nor do I which is why I tweeted mine from the period 1960s-1982.

@BabetteSmith Found my mums vaccination certificate circa 1973 when it was required to enter Australia. Don’t understand all the fuss. Vaccine passports existed and have been used before.

[Babette Smith @BabetteSmith]

My vaccination certificate 1960s-1982. You couldn't leave the country without it. And history repeats itself - it was run by the French.

[Babette Smith @BabetteSmith]

@KathrynHeyman Thank you

[Babette Smith @BabetteSmith]

Congratulations. That's wonderful. Still waiting for them to run one on Defiant Voices which is apparently underway. I've almost given up hope.

[Dr Kathryn Heyman @KathrynHeyman]

Grateful for all the reviews of Fury but this one in the Weekend Australian this morning made my heart explode. "The heart of this book is a blazing white-hot joy." 🙏

[Babette Smith @BabetteSmith]

It looks like 'moment/s' to me

#twitterstorians any clues as to what the words between the dots are? The context is an increasingly angry widow not happy at being ignored and trying to explain things from her perspective. #phdchat
