I really enjoyed filming this piece for @buxtonfringe @ShakespeareJBx even if it was one of the hottest evenings after a long day at work. And why I felt I had to climb a hill first...! I hope you enjoy it. youtube.com/watch?time_conti…

My last day as Makar. It's been a joy. To @scotgov and @ByLeavesWeLive, to @historic_ally, the librarians, readers, writers of Scotland, to the gods and goddesses of poetry, eternal thanks. There will be another Makar, in due course. Me, I'm in my garret, having a wee lie doon.

Spent a delightful hour sampling a scrumptious smorgasbord of Shakespeare scenes presented by the joyous @ShakespeareJBx - what a treat! I even got to be railed at by Margaret (and now I have a hankering to do the Henry VI plays) ❤️🙏❤️

Great to be able to join the online #ALN24 conference from my office. Great start to the keynote about use of AI in academia from Sue Attewell from Jisc.
