Leaving OUP (and which Jane Austen character are you?)

It feels as though it's only just started, but my time as blog editor of OxfordWords came to an end yesterday.  I was there on maternity cover, and the lovely woman who'd had her beautiful baby came back to the fore.  Although I was only there for just under six months, I've made some very dear friends, and was incredibly touched by the leaving gifts and cards I got.  As you'll see from my selection, I certainly didn't keep my love of the Queen (and kittens) quiet...Notice also that my friend Fiona is feeding my Agatha Christie habit - and deliberately picked one with a dog on the cover, because of our long-running feud of cats v. dogs.  (This feud manifested itself almost entirely in sending each other cute pictures of our preferred animal.)Luckily for me, they say I can still write for OxfordWords now and then, as an external writer, and I have one in the pipeline which isn't at all literary.  Today, though, to commemorate the anniversary of Jane Austen's death, my parting gift to OxfordWords was a 'Which Jane Austen character are you?' quiz - go and take it, and let me know who you ended up as!(I'm Mr. Darcy, it turns out. Since I wrote the quiz, I could be accused of making sure of this... but I actually would have preferred to be Mr. Bingley...)

Platt: Why Restaurants Are Louder Than Ever

... way, there were Scandinavian-dining fads, and retro-French-bistro fads, and, of course, there was this place called Brooklyn.

Final Vikings Uniform Clues are Revealed.. I Guess

Vikings fans, while I was searching around for some new Vikings news for you, I found this interesting article: http://www.dailynorseman.com/2013/4/18/4238576/minnesota-vikings-2013-new-uniforms-jerseys-nike..... Basically it's just this guy who stalked around Twitter and Instagram and found a bunch of clues and hints about the new Vikings jerseys. First of all, do I really live in a hole? I didn't even know the Vikings were getting new jerseys! Here are some of the sneak peaks:Shoulder_stripes_mediumFull_shoulder_mediumAND this is a direct tweet from Jeff Anderson, who is the Corporate Communications Director: "Important to note even though #NFLDraft begins at 7:00 p.m. next Thurs., uniform unveiling to take place at 6:15. Doors open at 5."
