In the midst of transcription - and one interviewee exclaims: 'There's so much to talk about with Christmas isn't there! And you'll never get to the bottom of it!' Ahhhh PhD Life #transcription#Christmas#thefestivelog#phdlife
Just wanted to pay especial tribute to these lovely folk who laid on such a fabulous #Christmas extravaganza for me and @MyElfGelf this afternoon complete with delicious panettone & special homemade sloe gin - nothing like interviewing in #style! #impressiveeffort#TheFestiveLog
With #Candlemas now come and gone, I'm taking the opportunity this 1st Monday of dreary Feb to reflect on the mixed emotions of past few months with another festive research b-log https://t.co/0WkFvm4Y1R #TheFestiveLog#TimeToTalk
Massive thanks to @NevillesCrossPS & @CrookHall for all their support this #Christmas Wonderful sendoff at school yesterday [thanks Aukland Class for the fab card & decoration!] & fun time feeling the anticipation rise today during my last hurrah as a trainee #elf#TheFestiveLog
Sorting through our growing collection of #Christmas emotion/meaning baubles with @MyElfGelf after a great few days of discussion groups @NevillesCrossPS in the midst of carol concerts galore! Have particularly enjoyed exploring the inner workings of #elf#magic#TheFestiveLog
Had so much fun travelling round in @lucinda_murphy's coat pocket yesterday at our trip to #enchantedchristmas with @NevillesCrossPS. Thanks to all the children (so glad to hear they're on the #NiceList) who helped carry me & let me dance with them at the disco! #TheFestiveLog https://t.co/NpoMkkHF4j
Loved getting to spend more time with Aukland Class today @NevillesCrossPS. Thank you for all my pictures and messages everyone π I got read so many stories today as well...AND I got to sit in the teacher's chair! π Loving this research job! #pleasesendmeletters#TheFestiveLog https://t.co/hPcTFK6kp9
Aww @MyElfGelf is blushing with the love tonight after her day back @NevillesCrossPS π First time she's had her portrait taken and she's SO impressed! We also loved hearing all of Aukland Class' retellings of the nativity & seeing their fantastic writing! #TheFestiveLog
Another round of talks @durham_uni this morning, before joining other #ChristmasDay lunch #volunteers for a planning meeting in Wallsend. Really interesting to learn more about past events & hear a little about why people had chosen to get involved this year #TheFestiveLog
@lucinda_murphy STILL can't believe you had to rescue me from that dark dark cafe @CrookHall on Saturday. And NOPE, I am NEVER letting you forget! Still, at least I suppose I did make friends with a rather charming polar bear!
@vivianasimos@lucinda_murphy Aw thank youuuuu @vivianasimos! Always a pleasure - will never forget who loved me that time when I was in prison before I was truly famous...
@aspin_michael@StChadsDurham@rev_rushton Sorry to miss the carols tonight (looks like it was a lovely occasion!) but am very impressed with this excellent outfit! Thanks for sharing @aspin_michael! We'll be in touch next time we need another pair of elf hands! π
