A long shot: is anyone currently doing research at the Biblioteca Nacional del Perú in Lima? I'm trying to track down two seventeenth-century single-sheet printed broadsides. I'd be very grateful to connect. Thanks! #earlymodern

Rare books at @theulspeccoll.bsky.social, frogs in my garden, medieval nuns. These are a few of my favourite things. Went viral with a biscuit found in a copy of Augustine.
Special Collections librarians know the value of a good pencil: this one’s at least 26 years old going by the phone number.
Someone has brought a baby to the UL and I’m sitting on my tea break listening to its happy gurgles 😍
Blessed by a visit from the disco-est of caterpillars, a privet hawk moth. Check out those chonky little legs 😍 also a pic of its grandparent I found in the garden a couple of years ago. You don’t expect to feel the weight of a moth but they are *big*.
Last clean clothes of the holiday = inadvertently dressed as a strawberry ice cream.
Last week the posy I brought home from the garden had a chrysalis attached though I didn't notice till I got home. If you, like me, haven't watched a butterfly emerge you won't be prepared for how amazing or how long emergence takes #TinyJoys a 🧵

Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.
Soapwort with violet carpenter bee/ valerian with hummingbird hawk moth (a bit fuzzy…)
Who says you shouldn’t wear spots and stripes together? Not these shield bugs…
Feeling very lucky to be under one of the tiny bits of rain currently falling on France.
What’s that massive blocky building on the other side of the river? Looks like a library to me. You can always tell… 😁
Can’t wait to see what @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social does with this one

Have been waiting 2 hours at birchanger services for RAC to send “a local mobile tyre engineer” to sort the flat that has arrived at the worst possible time. He appears to be coming from a company based in Edgware.
If they have to play a game that doesn’t matter, then “gloriously bonkers with ten goals” is EXACTLY the way to do it.
