Our @nisbetalice.bsky.social and @gemma-langridge.bsky.social are in Cambodia 🇰🇭 Powering through the jetlag, they are sharing their research on typhoidal #salmonella 🧬🦠 in collaboration with #ukhsa and #fijinationaluniversity #takeontyphoid #phnompenh

Housekeeping will be furious. Hedgehog shenanigans in Eilan Donan explain why the camera is now pointed at the floor. 🦔

Significant day for UK trade policy. With the announcement of the EU-Australia FTA the UK now only has an FTA where the EU doesn't with Malaysia and Brunei as part of CPTPP. The EU meanwhile has a deal with Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay that the UK doesn't.

FT Exclusive: Traders made bets worth half a billion dollars in the oil market about 15 minutes before Donald Trump’s post touting 'productive' talks with Iran sent the price of crude tumbling ft.trib.al/SVLeLoM

“Your usual table? But of course”

A most satisfying drink. An excellent vintage. And then a quick scratch. 🦔

Water bowl, footbath, whatever. 🦔

Via a friend.

Yes.

No-one should care about anything Galloway says about anything.

There’s no putting it off today. I am going to have to muck out the hedgehog stables. Well, one of them. The other is immaculate. 🦔

Long run done and the very worst kind. Hilly and progressive. Oof.

For several months, people have been wondering why Reform hasn't declared any crypto donations, despite Nigel Farage saying they'd received some Now @theobserveruk.bsky.social can reveal why...

Watch the prickles rise as another hedgehog arrives in Eilan Donan. 🦔

What a great piece of historical analysis by UEA’s Prof Tom Licence. www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

The Vitamin B12 fortified pea shoot salad crop not only exceeded expectations by delivering in excess of the RDA of Vitamin B12 in a single serving of salad: the team also found that the pea shoots maintained their shelf-life and the B12 content persisted through an extended period of cold storage 🥗

Ripley joined me to admire my mum’s memorial Rowan sapling which is growing very nicely in the Spring sunshine. #Caturday

Good morning to the best place to live #Norwich 🥰😎 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thirsty work being a hedgehog. 🦔

Enter The Hedgehog. And it’s a hungry hedgehog. 🦔

Great to hear our local MP Ben Goldsborough highlighting in Parliament the world-class science taking place here at the Quadram Institute and @johninnescentre.bsky.social on vitamin D deficiency and sunshine tomatoes🍅 We’d be delighted to host a visit by Dame Angela Eagle.

My main regret? Should’ve taken gloves. Cold.

The flowers I bought my wife are holding up really well.

When you suddenly remember you popped out for kitten biscuits. 🦔

A half-day for @bokarelli.bsky.social’s birthday. Lunch at J C Pinto and then a trip to the glorious Plantation Gardens where there are a lot of frogs doing, er, froggy stuff.

The 2am hedgehog stopped at the watering hole for hydration 🦔

"Trafalgar Square is for all of us", vomits the repellent Nick Timothy, implying special treatment for Muslims. The facts:

My car share is very, very quiet. Not a peep.

Quick update on Tilly, my late mum’s cat. We think she’s settling in. That’s the arm of the sofa she’s claimed as her own. PS Yes, that is a brain - in honour of @bokarelli.bsky.social’s research which involves brain injury. kthxbye

A quiet night last night. Just the one visitor at the usual table. 🦔

When you’re a mafia state… www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

Labour built the institutional architecture to capture public value from a public resource; Thatcher dismantled it, took a short-term cash payment, and handed the long-term revenue stream to private shareholders.

BNOC was created by Harold Wilson's government in 1975, specifically to give the British state a direct stake in North Sea extraction rather than leaving it entirely to private multinationals like BP and Shell. It was our equivalent of Norway's Statoil, established around the same time.

It’s definitely getting busier. Hedgehog shenanigans. 🦔

Rain on the lens but wanted to check if the hedgehogs were drinking from the new pond. The answer, I think, is yes. 🦔

We study history to know and understand what happened. We don’t have to justify it by saying we can ‘learn from the past’. We study philosophy to understand the nature of things. Not just to teach ethics to AI. Society should spend some resource on this kind of research. Understanding is an outcome!

A long way to go yet. Muddling on through.

Today is Mothering Sunday. And this is our Most Valued Twig. It just so happened @bokarelli.bsky.social had bought me a Rowan tree for Xmas. My Mum died on 23rd Dec, we planted mum’s tree on Christmas Eve. In Scotland, Rowans are traditionally planted to bring luck. My mum’s tree is growing well. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Think a new hedgehog has found Craigievar Castle. Welcome my spiny friend 🦔

My weekend is complete for I have just seen south Norwich’s resident wheely Beagle. His name is Hector and he doesn’t have working front legs but he does have wheels.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
