I'm in the museum sector.

Never pick something up to move it until you've seen the place where you're moving the thing and it's clear of junk.

It's safer to make two trips instead of one. It's safer to make three trips instead of two.

The best thing you can do for something old that looks like it's slowly falling apart is usually to leave it alone.

Don't worry, it gets worse! Certain farmed animals are particularly susceptible to infections like shrimp and oysters. These animals are kept in open water pens and antibiotics are routinely DUMPED INTO THE OCEAN to protect the stock, naturally contaminating the ocean at large and giving bacteria in the wild just enough exposure to antibiotics to develop resistance.

If you want to support responsible antibiotic use, avoid all farmed shellfish, don't buy any meats from India or China, and only buy free range chicken; these are the biggest global offenders. If you're European, avoid meats from Greece or italy.

I work in a museum adapting internationally touring exhibitions to align with their host communities. It's a great career - there's travel, I get to see behind the scenes of museum collections, and I get to study other cultures as a job. I do get paid to match the fact that I work for a charity.

My background is in the museum sector, which you can get into either through a PhD in study of a relevant field to the specific museum, or through a graduate program in museum/ conservation studies (which is what I did).

So far as I can tell, there are only a handful of people that do this job globally, which I suppose makes it lesser known!

A hammer designed to smash glass - it's a 'safety hammer' because they are kept in cars to smash windows in emergencies where people are stuck.

Sale on at M&S, going to look at buying a cheap casual suit.

Dinner with friends, get to tell them about how we're expecting our first kid.

Love the drizzle, will travel exclusively on foot
