A quite afternoon with book and cat - or was it the other way around? 🙄😉

The shadow of a Maurits and a Mollie. 😉

Reading outside with a cat.

A rather nice afternoon today.

Good morning!

I am surprisingly down after a meeting I had yesterday at @tudelftceg.bsky.social. Hopefully teaching our EnvEng students will bring some positive vibes.

Sleeping support in the home office.

A happy Mollie after dinner.

Goodnight!

Ginnie wants attention too.

Mollie insists on office time, weekend or not. Luckily I have something to read... 😉 and I obviously suffer a lot with a cat on my lap! 🙄

I am ready for Die Zauberflöte tonight!

Happy home office cat!

Home!

From our Dahlem correspondent: home office cat Mollie still likes the office.

Everyone say hello to Tupi, a lil’ capybara baby at the San Antonio Zoo. 🥹

Hat day in the Eifel today!

Lovely afternoon. Mollie and Ginnie agree.

Wat we verliezen als scholen op competitie inzetten Nieuw onderzoek laat zien: competitie maakt jongeren minder geneigd om te helpen en samen te werken – ook jaren later. Misschien is de mooiste competitie uiteindelijk die met jezelf, en niet met de ander. wp.me/prJwm-cju

My new book of cartoons is out soon. I am bringing it to SPX/BETHESDA TORONTO, NEW YORK, CHICAGO, MONTREAL and QUEBEC CITY in the next two weeks. Visit www.tomgauld.com for more details and preorder links!

Home!

For those that do not speak Dutch: finding the translation for the cartoon below yourself should actually be good fun.

We had the first session with our new ENVM students today. Engaging, active, really nice group! Can you reconstruct the questions we asked them? 😉🙄😃

Mollie appreciates home office time coming back!

Home!

Afternoon tea with family today.

Somehow waiting for my commuter train to Schiedam does not create the same emotions as waiting for a train to Helsinki... 🙄😉🤔😐

First day after the holidays at @tudelftwm.bsky.social at @tudelftceg.bsky.social was so busy that my post mentioning that is late... 🙄🤔

Some symmetry in distance today!

Ah, the joy of being back home in Catland.

Home!

Waiting for our train to Cologne, at Hamburg Main Station.

There we go again! First a short trip to Copenhagen Main Station, where we hope to take the train to Hamburg.

Set in Malmo for the night. Carpet and lamp with attitudes! 😉

Last train for today - at least that is the plan...

Why we need to be silent about my favorite person in the world is not clear to me, but I appreciate Sweden Rails efforts to share her initials.

In our train to Stockholm. We go as far as Malmo today.

Today, my favorite person in the world gave me one of the compliment-tickets that our hotel offers. 😉

Last option to enjoy one of Uppsala's lovely cakes! Tomorrow it is train day again. 🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂🚂

Today, my last day at #ESEH2025, Rupsje Nooitgenoeg finds itself in more colorful surroundings. As always, a bird - symbolizing family, and found in Argentina more or less exactly 20 years ago - will accompany us as well. #Whatismauritswearingtoday

Ready for Holiday Reading 12 - which could perhaps also become Post-Holiday Reading 1, depending how fast I can read the coming days.

"The Valencia flood could have happened in normal times" is such an interesting sentence in the #ESEH2025 setting. Are historians sure what is "normal"?

In case you need some distraction from #ESEH2025, this may be something - although I plan to visit the Gustavianum. 😉😃 www.uu.se/en/gustavianum

Symbolism of Power in Academia (???), Uppsala University Campus ... 🙄🙄🤔🤔

Flowing water anyone?

It may be good to stress that next to rupsjes and new friends from Tallinn, I am today - as always - supported by a silver cat! 😃😉🐈🐈‍⬛

Next session for me at #ESEH2025, where I might learn why the agencies of "water" and "water infrastructure(s)" are often so easily conflated - including in the panel title. My observation on this is that water history is often about water infra, with the agent "water" being relatively absent...

Hopefully I am going to finally find out what "critical" means at my #ESEH2025 first Tuesday session. I think I already know what "wetlands" are... 😉

Today my new friend from Tallinn will accompany me at #ESEH2025. #Whatismauritswearingtoday

And we are having our session on envhist in the techclass now. Find us somewhere... in House 2.
