Here’s the programme for our seminar series! Exciting list of speakers from across Scotland covering topics ranging from medieval period right up to present day.

We will not stop until we have an answer as to why you think our industry is so funny. Let us in on your inside joke @William_Wragg @BorisJohnson

Angry crying: I’ve been waiting for counselling for 9 months. Turns out my GP took “I understand the wait times are long” to mean “I don’t want help”. I’ve been on no list. I’m not the most urgent case, but I do need some help. #mentalhealth #angrycrying

@CarolineHirons * “Like” in terms of agreeing with your point. In no other way can I like any of this. “There’s nothing really worth doing” remains the most upsetting phrase I’ve ever heard in a consultation cubicle.

[Imogen Bloomfield @Imogennatalie]

Highly recommend. (This article did that lovely thing of making a film I didn’t love much more enjoyable!)

New open access article in @LivUniPress' Bulletin of Hispanic Studies: "Conversion and Colonial History in Icíar Bollaín’s También la lluvia (2010)" with my @MMLL_Cambridge co-author Dr Caroline Egan: https://t.co/tAMtpvrad5

Returning to my office after illness: utter joy.
Returning to twitter: largely shouty.

I’ll be in the office if anyone needs me 😊

@DrPJLennon Only M&S ham will do when a son publishes his first book.

Many thanks to @BoydellBrewer for sending along copies of my monograph ’Love in the Poetry of Francisco de Aldana: Beyond Neoplatonism’. Such an amazing feeling to see and hold the final product!

[Imogen Bloomfield @Imogennatalie]

@rachbeanz Thanks! A pdf would be great, thanks - I’ll DM you my details. So glad you enjoyed my article 😊

[Imogen Bloomfield @Imogennatalie]

@rachbeanz Oooh, which book is this in, please?

[Imogen Bloomfield @Imogennatalie]

Bra off listening to @Pappystweet
10 seconds into first jingle.
Genius.
This is where the internet keeps utter joy.

@frank_lough I need to leave Sunday night/early hours Monday I’m afraid, sorry.

[Imogen Bloomfield @Imogennatalie]

As my proposed train fare for #AHGBI2019 is over £400 (w/ a casual 7hour wait in the middle) I’ll be driving.
Anyone wanting a lift, I’ll be coming from Cornwall Sun/Mon, and returning Weds PM. We can maintain train silence if you prefer! Please RT #hispanists

Rounding off my time spent exploring Valdés Leal’s vanitas with #SP1002 by showcasing a few examples of students’ creations based around the topic @StAModLangs @UnivofStAndrews #Spanish

[Imogen Bloomfield @Imogennatalie]

Reading the @BritishAcademy_ on #LanguageLearning.
I was told I wouldn’t be teaching MFL in a school bc I was “comfortable with languages”. As a FT cover supervisor, w/ a PhD in Spanish, French, a CELTA, & real life examples of why languages are fun & useful I taught physics.

@modelrecommends Of course! Inevitably an ugly hide away bracket will win out temporarily, but it’s so very Dr’s waitingnrolm!

[Imogen Bloomfield @Imogennatalie]

@modelrecommends This is my main interiors issue! Added fun: small Victorian living room where the only available walls have either a fireplace or a radiator. Planning to learn how to move a radiator!

[Imogen Bloomfield @Imogennatalie]

This weekend I finished repairing/installing mains wiring in the dining room. (Survived patronising hardware sales staff.)
I might not be the kind of Dr who can help you with your health, but I can do some other cool shit 😁 #LikeABoss #Skillz #Dadwasveryproud

@CineFeline I find unless conferences are in the largest of cities (w/the associated rail offers or flights) this is the norm - especially living so far SW! I’m good thanks, trying to make ends meet ‘freelance’ after the move down here 😊 How’re you?
