I really enjoyed yesterday’s book launch for ‘Mining the Memories: Stories of Durham Coalfield Communities’.
I was delighted to contribute a brief synopsis for the book, sharing some examples of mining illnesses.

We had to say goodbye to our Bella this morning. We’re all absolutely heartbroken, things won’t be the same without her. We got Bella when I was 13, and she’s been with us through the best and worst times of our lives. I could talk forever about how wonderful she is ❤️🩹 Our smart and beautiful girl ❤️

This was fantastic - moving, angering, and inspiring in turns. So proud of colleagues David and Julie-Marie, and the wonderful people at The Story, home of Durham archives - including archivist Victoria Oxberry (R), who is helping to build a community archive on HIV/AIDS in the county. 📜🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🗃️
Yesterday Prof. Julie-Marie Strange organised an event to mark World AIDS Day with Dr Rupert Whitaker OBE, co-founder of Terrence Higgins Trust, here with Dr David Minto and colleagues from Durham County Council and The Story

It's official: 400 redundancies and a campus closure. At-risk staff will get a letter next week. Absolutely no serious consideration of any of the union's counterproposals.

I’ve been marking all day and haven’t really moved from my desk. I just spontaneously recruited my neighbour to run 6k with me and I feel reborn. Furious to report that good sleep and gentle exercise does help xx

I’ve procrastinated my work so hard I’ve ended up at a Peep Show quiz in Newcastle. This has to be one of the highlights of my year.

I think the doctor’s orders are to get outside, do gentle exercise, and listen to an episode of the Maintenance Phase podcast about raw milk?

Today I was teaching in the same seminar room that I had my first ever seminars in as an undergraduate, which felt like a full circle moment.
I came to uni through an access scheme and very nearly didn’t get here, so this all feels so surreal 6 years later. Protect access schemes. They are vital ❤️

I went back home yesterday (ex-pit village in County Durham) and someone had graffitied onto the side of a house. This is an area that once upon a time came together as a proper community, but since the rise of the EDL and BNP etc, esp from early 2000s, has seen more division than ever.

An NUFC-heavy weekend!
Jigsaw completed, watched Woltemade’s debut and first goal, and secured tickets for NUFC v Bradford City. Not sure any of these hobbies can be considered relaxing, the Geordie Boys like to keep us on our toes!

Seen some St George’s Fiery Crosses on my morning run. This is not innocent - there’s no historical precedent of displaying the Cross or the Union Flag outside of sporting events, royal stuff, and maybe govt buildings except by fascists. Fascist involvement in founding this campaign no coincidence.

Had a dream last night that I completely tanked my maths and music exams by sitting in the exam hall and writing *nothing*.
I left secondary school 8 years ago and haven’t had to sit an exam for about 3 years. Pleased to know I will be haunted by my GCSEs forever 😃

The launch was excellent, and brilliantly well-timed as we approach the Miner’s Gala!
We heard some fantastic singing of Durham mining songs by Rickleton Primary School children, a lecture by Dr Fiona Hill, and celebrated the newly renovated Pitman’s Parliament. A fantastic afternoon!

The illustrations in the booklet were painted by Elizabeth Twistington Higgins, a polio survivor and ballet dancer. She rose to prominence with her beautiful artwork, which she painted by mouth. She also wrote a memoir called ‘Still Life’.
