@LucyGoBag Thanks. Happy to help any time. You’ve made me think again about how I handle the items of people who, in my case, are usually long dead. It’s still a very intimate act, archivists are often the first “others” to examine their belongings.
@LucyGoBag insightful Desert Island discs. So many of our Liverpool generation had their life impacted by Hillsborough. So good to hear an impact for the positive.
We need to talk about preservation though! Don’t let them laminate important documents. https://t.co/F89MK3Q9lj

@findmypast will you ensure that your digitisers make sure we can read all the columns of information? It’s pretty essential in this case to know what the word is adjacent to Town for Patrick and John.
@AvantiWestCoast how can you sell tickets for a train and then not put it on the timetable? The 18:43 from Euston does not exist today, yet I’ve got a booking for it. Not cancelled, not put on the system apparently. And it’s not just this train but several others!

Joy surrounds us constantly - we just need to adjust our perspective to see it. When we shift our viewpoint, like focusing a camera lens, we notice the beauty and connection in everyday moments. By cultivating awareness and seeking positivity, we discover that joy is abundant when we're open to experiencing it.
