    enjoyed your article in the NY times today, thank you. Many actors and amateurs here on Twitter are sharing sonnets under the hashtag . If you could share as well, we'd appreciate it!

    A brilliantly kind thread in which absorbs griefs small and large: thank you

    In normal times I would have be a fully-fledged yoga teacher now. All training & exams done other than 1-hour practical that was to have been 9am today. Yes it’s nothing in the big scheme, but it was a year of training & I’m sad. What (relatively minor) loss is hurting you today?

    A chance to hear a brief summation of what and I would have said if we’d been face to face this afternoon... we are both determined to have this conversation at some point in the future!

    Today, we had planned a day of author talks by members & friends of St Hilda's . Sadly, this has been postponed. However, you can hear from some our wonderful speakers and get a taste of their sessions here at our :

    2. When I was a child in the 1940s, my mother would cut up slices of fruit for me (there wasn't much) and as she put it in front of me she would say, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." How about, “A sonnet a day keeps the doctor away”? So...here we go: Sonnet 1.

    Watching my brilliant friend absolutely storm has been a highlight of what’s shaped up as a pretty bleak year. This is, unsurprisingly, an excellent piece, but she should never have had to write it

    This EGO twitter account has sat dormant for a long while. But in these interesting times it makes sense that English grad students at Oxford (& other nice folk who want to join) should keep talking and looking after each other. More to follow. For the moment, please retweet. 👋

    Without a doubt the Folger Shakespeare podcast, which I've already recommended here a lot. Favourite episodes are n.132 about women performers & n.87 which I've discussed with my Friday Lit group❤️ this term

    Let's share our favourite podcasts today! Be they educational, entertaining or both! I'll start us off with "In Our Time", BBC Radio 4's long-running history of ideas programme. Three experts with Melvyn Bragg. I always learn something new.

    I'm going to have to pause the party here because someone's spilt red wine in the travel section. There'll be more after lunch. In the meantime, I've occasionally linked to online shops above but please remember that Indies are taking orders too. Support your local bookshop!
