Academic selfie: I think this jacket goes quite well with my self-made waistcoat and cords. Plus new boots! #sewing
It’s not quite done, but I feel confident in saying this is not your grandpa‘s chore jacket. Not a bad effort from a self-drafted pattern. #sewing
Here is me at Canberra Geek Fest yesterday! Got quite a few compliments on my fourth Doctor. I made the coat and waistcoat myself. #sewing #doctorwho #cosplay
Academic selfies: yesterday, work from home casual; today, in the office with a paisley tie. Bold checks!
Well, like a fool, I have drafted my own pattern for a chore jacket. Only one way to find out if it will work. #sewing
Academic selfie: dressed for a spontaneous excursion to go bowling on a winter’s Wednesday evening in the school holidays. Guess who won?
Academic selfie: winter sunshine in my new garden studio/office. We debated tardis blue for the back wall, but it was slightly too dark for Australian light.
Academic selfies: with Su Wai Mon and a law of the sea cast of dozens! (Well, nearly a dozen.)
Academic selfie: at #ANZSIL2026 with @liivoja.com @anhertogen.bsky.social, Monique Cormier and Alison Duxbury. All the ANZSIL council office holders in a row!
Dawn at Canberra airport en route to #ANZSIL2026. Pretty, but an open question as to whether I get to the conference given the fog at Sydney presently preventing our departure.
Academic selfie: me failing to insert the emergency key for my new EV into the lock when my key fob failed to open the car. This was resolved when the head of school for engineering came by and opened it with his key fob. Because it was his car. That happened to be exactly the same colour as mine.
Academic selfie: a pleasure this evening to introduce the next in our series of World in Transition events, “disaster resilience at home and abroad” with Sarah Ison, Mitch King, and Prof Jason Sharples. www.events.unsw.edu.au/event/resili...
I feel Oscar Wilde might have something to say about losing so many prime ministers so quickly …
Academic selfie: so many compliments at work today on my home-made green velvet frock coat! One of my earlier sewing pieces from a year ago where I did not have the skill to execute my ambition. Recently, I redid the lapels & collar as best I could. The result has a lived in air I quite like #sewing
Academic selfies: today, the first outing of my new self-made brown suede waistcoat; yesterday, in the outfit that a number of my colleagues charmingly informed me was their current favourite.
A real privilege to receive a signed copy from the author in the post this week! Well done @francesanggadi.bsky.social !
Academic selfie. Did I say in a meeting today: “well, I am very intimidating. My outfits of tweed and corduroy strike fear into the heart of evildoers everywhere … No, wait, that’s Batman.” Yes, yes I did.
Academic selfie: it’s just another day for you and me in Doctor Who adjacent office wear … (yes, I made the trousers)
Academic selfie: what a week! I think I look happier wearing the scarf?
Academic selfie. Me at work today in my home-made blue velvet frock coat. It got at least three compliments from colleagues!
Academic selfie: a wet day in Canberra – the only answer is tweed, tweed, tweed.
Academic selfie: at work today in the check waistcoat and trousers I made for myself out of vintage wool and fabric I bought at the Canberra women’s circle charity de-stash market a few months ago.
