Very pleased to announce that this year's @SWalesRecordSoc volume, edited by Kirsti Bohata, will be published soon: 'The Diary of Amy Dillwyn, 1863-1917'! 😀📚🏴
When Mr H’s biggest concern about any augmented communication technology is that it should enable him to say please & thank you ❤️
I owe so much to these steelworks. His father’s job there kept my husband clothed & fed as a boy growing up on Sandfields in the 60s. Am tremendously sad that today brings fear & uncertainty to the generations that have followed. Thank you for reaching out @Sioned_W @Plaid_Cymru

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.
Prof @Kevin_Fong (Former National Clinical Adviser in Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response) is giving evidence to the Inquiry today.

Seeing the vast wealth on display at the state opening of Parliament today felt uncomfortable while core services are having to be cut in our communities
Unfortunately, the content of the Speech did not reflect the scale of the change needed either

I feel a huge amount of grief this morning. Grief for lost futures, lost people, ruined things and for all the ways that the last 14 years made life for people harder, rougher, more dangerous, smaller, shorter. I suppose grief isn't a very political emotion, but that's where I am

Well, it is a very good morning in Wales. 🏴
This was Plaid Cymru's best ever result in a General Election.
Our 4 Plaid Cymru MPs will now work tirelessly to make sure Wales' voice is not ignored by the incoming Labour government.
One of the very many things I love about Wales is the landscape. And the colour palette in this morning’s view is particularly fine!! Congratulations & thank you @Plaid_Cymru 🙏

Fixed term contract ended 2nd June (19 days ago!) Just offered 2nd v short term role at same Uni and as an ‘ex employee’ have to do full HR process again incl. a 1.5 hr round trip to show the (still in date) passport I presented <3 mths ago. Make it make sense #academictwitter
