Hey UK GLAM friends, I'm super keen to get to the GLAM Labs conference in Edinburgh next June, but I need to find some funding. https://www.glamlabs.io/events/glam-labs-futures-26 Is there anything I could come and do for you around June next year that could help pay my way?

Went to 6th form college open evening with number 1 daughter - looked at A-level English curriculum - all flippin’ bloke authors apart from a few poems and maybe Mary Shelley. Now, I’m not knocking Mary, but is that it?! It’s an absolute embarrassment.

Can anyone recommend a decent battery recharger (AA/AAA) which gives an output on battery capacity and charge?
