What a day! Today has been a massive test, and happily I didn’t balls up my talk
I’m pooped now though, can’t wait to hit the sack
To cap it all off, I just realised I’ve tipped over 1000 followers! I’ve been saving this one...

It’s still #CephalopodWeek!
These spectacular #cephalopods are from Férussac & D’Orbigny’s ‘Histoire naturelle: generale et particuliere des cephalopodes’ (1835)
@museumsvictoria #library’s copy was digitised by @bhl_au for @BioDivLibrary last year —> https://t.co/ESbAIsI12V
I’m having a very slow day today - how about you?

You know the old saying: when a rare book gives you lemons, go ahead and post those lemons on Twitter 🍋
My little tree is slightly further along than the illustration. Any suggestions for things I can make this weekend to use up some lemons?

Wow, I'm as happy as this musk shrew as I just noticed I've now got over 900 followers on here!
This happy chappy is from 'Die Säugthiere in Abbildungen nach der Natur' by Schreber (1774)
I've been saving something very weird for when I get to 1000 by the way...

Is everyone looking forward to the weekend?
Hoping there's sunshine, flowers, ice cream and whisky in abundance (or whatever makes you happy!)
