This is the pub cat of the Seven Stars Pub on Carey Street in London I go there each time I visit the UK. This is me and Peabody back in 2018 Seeing a cat in an Elizabethan ruff is reason enough to visit, but the pub claims to date to 1603 which is also Very Cool

I've been given a teaching award from my university, which means a lot, as I've been teaching virtually for the past few years & have developed a real passion for online learning. This is also my last full year of uni teaching (maybe ever?) so feels extra special 🥰

When the cat sharpens his claws on the couch/carpet, we blow on him. He HATES it & it’s super effective. We’ve taught the 3-year-old to do it too if she catches him clawing fabric Today the 3 year old told me a boy ripped her art project at school. Friends, she blew on him 😩

I’m finally back in action after a nasty bout of pneumonia. My writing desk looked extra festive for a podcast recording last night and it’s ready to go for another live lecture for my Women in Late Medieval England course today 🥰 It’s SO nice to get back to my medieval women

I promise this won't become a medieval makeup account BUT I just translated a 13th-century recipe to keep eyebrow hairs from growing back & I have to share: Take ant eggs, dip them in oil IN WHICH A HEDGEHOG HAD BEEN COOKED, & put them on the skin under your eyebrows 😩😩😩😩
