In a nutshell.

All corrrect, except for the word “few”, sadly.

Notice to flat-Earthers all around the globe: Please alert the authorities if tonight’s Total Lunar Eclipse looks like this:

Look at all the pretty colours!

I still can’t quite believe I fell over this morning and lost my shoe down a storm drain in Dallas. I mean, what are the odds?!

Sod’s Law: we haven’t seen the sun for weeks, we’re just arriving at Heathrow for a trip to see family in NZ, and look what has appeared!

Normal summer river flow round here is around 6 m3/s. Kayaking at the weekend will be… interesting.

I saw it too!

I do this all the time…

The Clearest image of Jupiter ever taken

All very well being sarcastic, but it’s cold! 🥶🥶🥶 😉

It has almost never been more Monday!

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

This is our household today!

After an enormous e-mail blitz this afternoon, my inbox is down to fewer than 100 messages for the first time in years. It’s a Christmas miracle!

After many months of careful watering, I have finally managed to grow a duck.

It took me till it was dark and you couldn’t see the weather any more to pluck up the motivation for this year’s Christmas lake swim. In the end it was rather nice in the dark with all the pretty lights 🎄 (though still take my breath away cold, and correspondingly rather brief!)

Happy Christmas everyone!
