My 2026 TBR List

I just realised that I haven’t made one of these posts – my TRB list – since 2022. So, this is a new and short list for 2026. I highlighted the name of the books so they are easier to spot. This is an unusual mix, with comic books and non-fiction. I will see if […]

Graduating at Oxford

I had my graduation ceremony earlier this month. I will share pictures from the day and a description. It was my decision not to share pictures with my face, but I hope you like the pictures nonetheless. The gorgeous gown is the Master’s Gown, which has embroidery on it, unlike the commoner’s gown which I […]

Why I am learning Ukrainian

Why I am learning Ukrainian

I mentioned in the round-up from last month that I’ve started language classes and today I’m talking on why I am learning Ukrainian. First of all, me starting last month was not a coincidence. I wanted to learn Ukrainian, but because I had other things in mind, I decided that the right moment is now, […]

Oriel entrance

Oriel Oxford

I finished my course, so today I am sharing pictures of Oriel Oxford, my college. I could have shared double the number of pictures, so there are things missing. The college is 698 years old, established in 1326, under Edward II. It is one of the smallest colleges by size, naturally for a college so […]

Timothy Snyder: The Making of Modern Ukraine

Today I am going to talk about Timothy Snyder: The Making of Modern Ukraine course on YouTube. I didn’t think I will blog about this course because it is a 23 lectures long Yale Course, you can find here. I imagine it will be a focused course which due to its length and topic might […]

Ukrainian books

Ukrainian books

Today President Zelensky made a surprise visit to Britain, so I’ve decided to post today about the books I plan to read about Ukraine, written by Ukrainians, photographed on the Ukrainian and British flags. I keep these two flags in our conservatory. The Ukrainian one is from a march I’ve been to, last year in […]
