@OneNerdyOpinion Write your own. Seriously, why not? You must have some great ideas given how widely you read.

[Rachel Jones @RachelJones122]

@lfmcnally Sadly no longer doing any classics or Latin (😢), but this has inspired me to do something with source papers for History. 👍😃 Thanks Lawrence.

@tutubuslatinus Thanks for everything, especially Bellum Sacrum. I feel the same about Twitter, but would still miss too many accounts if I left. 😢

@oxfordclassics @StephenJenkin If we’re not in the UK, but have family there, could books be sent to them to forward (realising that there’s a MASSIVE assumption in that question..!)? Thank you.

Watched this last night and honestly, this was my favourite scene as I got to think "ooh, there’s the trilobite layers I read about on Twitter!"
Rest of it was just awful.

I don’t know if they filmed in Morocco but those certainly look like the Devonian trilobite layers of Morocco

Found a new critter in the garden today. Any suggestions as to what it is? The ruler is showing millimetres. #entymology #mysterycritter #insect

Considering setting up an insta page that is purely pictures of my cats sleeping and/or showing their tummies. Thoughts?

Life in the antipodes means I’m still on summer break, so here’s a few pictures of some recent visitors to the garden. #stickinsect

Well, for the second time in 2023, I have just taught my last class of the academic year. A day of sports and prize giving, then a teacher only day on Friday, and then I am DONE.
Roll on my first summer holiday for 18 months. 🇳🇿🎉

I really like having eels at the bottom of the drive, but I never imaged keeping a bag of “eel food” in the fridge. #eels

[Rachel Jones @RachelJones122]

Had to take one of the cats to the vet. Apparently he has tonsillitis? 🤷‍♀️
His brother is clearly distraught.

@Foster_Fluff I started following for AdaMae (and Myla 🖤🌈) but have stayed for all the fosters that followed. Eggnog is in excellent hands. X

[Rachel Jones @RachelJones122]

We���re getting all settled in our new home in New Zealand and we have eels in the stream! Biggest one is about 3-4 foot in length. Eels! @greenleejw

[Rachel Jones @RachelJones122]

One of my last trips with my old school before moving to New Zealand was to Hadrian’s Wall. I always made a point of showing them Sycamore Gap as we drove between sites. What would drive someone to do that? Sad day.

[Rachel Jones @RachelJones122]

I think he wants something.

Hello Sekhmet. Still love you.

Oh blimey, I’m in Dubai!

[Rachel Jones @RachelJones122]

Got home tonight and my husband’s phone pinged to let him know I’d left work.

Yes, today I certainly have.

Sad, but exciting times ahead. 😃
