I haven't tweeted in three years. I was waiting for this to happen.

@RoyalMail what would you suggest I missed a delivery but a) the tracking number isn't recognised when I book a redelivery (but is recognised when I track the parcel) and b) no card was left and no message sent to the sender? Any advice much appreciated, thanks :)

So apparently the refrain in Loaded by Primal Scream is 'I don't wanna lose your love' and not, as I had assumed 'I've been on the news, you know'

@Literacy_Trust Working on audio and literacy is one of my proudest achievements while at NLT (and ever) - strange to let it go but thrilled to see it continue

[Emily Best @emilymaud]

Hugely significant finding from @Literacy_Trust highlighting the power and potential of listening when access to and engagement with stories is more crucial than ever.

[National Literacy Trust @Literacy_Trust]

For the first time, more children and young people enjoy listening to audio than reading in their free time.

Almost 2 in 5 say that audio has sparked an interest in reading books. Our findings also show that audio can deepen learning and support wellbeing.

Tonight! My Tascam appears to have shuffled off its electronic coil so I'll be using my phone. BUT otherwise all set and excited to explore sound and space in Bloomsbury. Do join it you can!

[Emily Best @emilymaud]

Just under a week to go! Please do come along and don't forget to bring your Tascam/Zoom recorder/Phonautograph/Talkboy for the sound walk (or the built-in sound recorder on your standard smartphone will do nicely).

Just checking, re the possibility of a character returning having been lost at sea - I can't write 'do a Harold Bishop' in my PhD thesis, can I?

[Emily Best @emilymaud]

I've just deleted 5 from my thesis

Any other millennial researchers out there find themselves writing 'very real' far too often and do we all blame this on Ross's keynote at the Barbados Conference in Friends? #inaveryrealway

[Emily Best @emilymaud]

POSTPONED - ticket holders have been notified but if anyone else was thinking of coming along, we have now postponed this event with a new date tbc.

@_Enanem_ Oh and the older man a couple of doors down who always wore a CND badge. They just called him CND.

[Emily Best @emilymaud]

@_Enanem_ My grandparents had nicknames for everyone, but my favourite was Celery Sid, who lived opposite my parents and grew vegetables. His name was not Sid
