A back for the day from uni. Arrived with washing and an empty treats box. It was filled with banana muffins last time. Flat mates reminded her to take the ‘green tub’ home - all looking very hopeful when they said it. Currently being filled with 3 dozen cookies, ready to go back
Absolutely amazing afternoon at work today. With the wonderful @AnnCleeves having a book talk with the men and then patiently answering all of their questions. Thank you Ann 🌟

'For all their benefits, funding for [public] libraries is never a priority, trumped by the more urgent demands of healthcare and schools. And yet, properly resourced, they can help alleviate the pressures on both'. Key point @guardian after our chat theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Such an eye-opener, I don’t think library closures had been mapped against index of multiple deprivation before.Surely equality impact assessment should have picked this up. Need to fix council underfunding. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn9l…

New BBC analysis:
- over 180 public libraries closed since 2016
- deprived communities x4 likely to lose their library
- 2,000 jobs lost
- 1/20 libraries lost in that period
- 1/3 of remainder with reduced hours
What will this govt do? @CILIPinfo

Urgh. Tv apple box upstairs no longer has Netflix on it. No, I didn’t see any warnings. So bit of a surprise. So basically now doesn’t work as a tv for us 😕
Thinking my only option is a new little smart tv? Hope they’re just plug into the wall and wifi and play…

We are so very sorry to hear the sad news about Jeremy Strong. A wonderful author whose books have been and will be loved by children everywhere.
Today would have been your 50th birthday. We’ll be marking the occasion with Dr who, garlic bread pizza and milk later.

Whatever may or may not change, to be rid of a gang of immoral rapacious contemptuous entitled incompetent dishonest arrogant avaricious feudal sociopaths as a government, has to be on balance a good thing, doesn’t it?
