Keep up the habit

Spent a few days in the Lake District at a repository conference.  Repository managers are often keen social networkers - so the tweet backchannel was lively.  When I started using Twitter,  I found it quite tiring to keep focused on speakers, making my own notes, and adding comments to Twitter that might be of use to others.  I now find it second nature.  I must admit I am sometimes rather flippant in my comments, the backchannel can get a bit bitchy, but it also cements together participants both attending an event, and those watching the twitter feed, so I think it's a welcome addition.

Things are feeling good in my world.  Looking forward to longer days, spring activity from the birds, insects & flowers.  And spending time with special people.

The wider world is not so good.  The government seems determined to wreck some of the things that make this country great - free health care, (relatively) accessible countryside,  public libraries that promote culture and learning, a postal service that does so much more than deliver letters.

Anyone who cares about these things, please do something, stand up and be counted eg on  March 26th in London.
