A few days in our favourite place in Scotland and the weather is glorious! Back on Arran

Getting into the Red Nose Day spirit!

@catbrom.bsky.social - we should consider something for this? 👇.

My first blog as Vice President for External Affairs at the @RoyalStatSoc - read my reflections on the first meeting of the new UK Statistics Assembly 👇

Great to be at the first meeting of the UK Statistics Assembly, jointly organised by the UK Statistics Authority and the @royalstatsoc.bsky.social. Big focus on how we get the best out of the UK’s official statistics. I’ll be facilitating a session on crime statistics this afternoon

Happy New Year from our house to your house!

Our annual poll! Our wreath filled with sprouts is in place. Is this a brilliant use for sprouts, or an absolute travesty? Vote now!

Our Lego Christmas village is taking shape

A first! A robot has just delivered my breakfast in Belfast airport!

Great day over in Belfast talking all things data in healthcare - thanks for inviting me to give one of the keynotes. And their Christmas tree appeared while we were there! Flight home cancelled so have an extra night in Belfast!!

Some RSS news! Delighted to be the new Vice President (External Affairs) for the next 2 years. Looking forward to working with all the great volunteers & staff across the @royalstatsoc.bsky.social. And nice to share a rogues gallery with @statsgeekclare.bsky.social and @stateecetics.bsky.social

Any Kylie fans out there?! Forgot I had ordered this beauty. Her new album on crystal clear vinyl! That’s today’s music taken care of!

Anyone for apple crumble? Went for a day trip to Melrose yesterday and stumbled in their annual apple festival. Who knew there were so many varieties? And a delicious take away crumble!

That gutted feeling when you finish a jigsaw and discover there’s a piece missing. This one was a work of art for Susan - really difficult but now complete, except for the pesky missing piece!

@joolsbell55.bsky.social welcome to the other side! Let’s keep the banter and nonsense going over here!

Any Doctor Who fans out there! Here’s my TARDIS shed - a day of cleaning it for the Autumn!

People seem to like the Lego photos. Here’s the Palace cinema, all lit up, complete with minifigures for the new Ioker movie!

Any Lego lovers out there? Forgot how good their modular buildings looked all lit up! Here’s Assembly Square and a city bus getting the light treatment!

Back home after a great week chairing this year’s @royalstatsoc.bsky.social conference in Brighton. Thanks for the conference board staff and delegates for putting on a great programme of talks, posters and social events. We had a record number of delegates! Some photos from the week

Thanks to @statsgeekclare.bsky.social for introducing me to Bluesky this week! Here we are at the Royal Statistical Society conference dinner last night - a brilliant week of all things data and statistics - and great to catch up with so many people

Great range of posters at this year’s Royal Statistical Society conference - our team in Public Health Scotland are showcasing their own on primary care 👇

Thanks to @statsgeekclare.bsky.social for introducing me to all her followers on BlueSky. And thanks to everyone who has started following me. Feel like the new kid on here! Clare and I are at the Royal Statistical Society in Brighton - not sure what the upside down house is all about!
