Someone has obviously decided they have had enough of being watched...

We moved into new offices, but this wall has been left open for a few weeks now. I knew what I had to do.

@OllieDouglas Somewhere in the middle. Maybe little of column a, little of column b

There are days I need a post-it like this in my life

[Clare Plascow @CPlascow]

A present from @TheMERL’s Mewes Knitters. One bag of knitted ladybirds to go in the gallery on Monday.

Makes me wonder how they feel...I mean other than squashed.

@GlassJarOfMoles Any advice?

[Clare Plascow @CPlascow]

Things are starting to be completed...

[Clare Plascow @CPlascow]

Getting ready for a day of arts and crafts with my volunteers. We’ll be follow instructions in Ladybird books to create items for the Making exhibition next month @TheMERL @UniRdg_ArtCol #creative #yesthisismyactualjob

[Clare Plascow @CPlascow]

Completed one Apple, Walnut and Salted Peanut Shortcrust Galette. A semi-successful first bake from The Pudding Post including my very first attempt at making pastry. Fingers crossed on the taste

[Rupert Shepherd @rgs1510]

@CPlascow Repeat after me: museum numbers are not limited resources, so you don't have to get the most use out of them by reusing them. Yours successors will thank you. #MuseumDocumentation

[Clare Plascow @CPlascow]

@mark_carnall Fingers crossed it'll help me unpick the mess

[Clare Plascow @CPlascow]

WHY!?!?!

#MuseumDocumentation

[Reading Museum @readingmuseum]

Can you hear that?

It’s the sound of the entire population of Reading popping up their hands and saying:

‘Actually, we have a very good copy of the #BayeuxTapestry already thank you very much’

(we’re very excited to play Spot the Difference though)

[The Museum of English Rural Life @TheMERL]

Very exciting to see the results of our work with @reading_buses and @readingmuseum on the new no.17s Each bus features historical images from our archives of landmarks along the route! @archivesgb looks pleased!!

Riley isn’t just a very good boy. He’s a very good boy with a very important job at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. https://t.co/qLexyWngUg

What else do you get up to as a museum professional when on holiday...after a confusing layout in the first room I really enjoyed the rest of @FitzMuseum_UK's #Degas exhibition. Also top marks for their gender inclusivity

Let it snow 🎶

[Dr Ollie Douglas @OllieDouglas]

‘Day 30: Why Museums?’ - Because they ask ‘why’ but also what, when, where, how, & who. In other words, they explore & link purposes, products, periods, places, processes, & people. This is participatory curiosity, where questions & answers can become shared resources #Museum30

[Clare Plascow @CPlascow]

One ball of cute

[Blythe Varney @CollectNCurate]

So fitting that #HeritageDay and #InternationalVolunteerDay fall on the same date. The heritage sector just couldn't run without all the amazing people who volunteer their time and skills

[Clare Plascow @CPlascow]

It's an amazing transformation @HeadstoneManor1. Can't believe it's the same place!
