    My cat’s the best!

    I knew my kitty wouldn’t let me down. πŸ™‚πŸ˜Ί I’m actually 39 Part B because last year was cancelled. So I’m not 40 until next year but I’ll keep the card on display until then. Why wouldn’t I? 😍 Enjoying my morning snuggle below πŸ€—

    365 hindsight

    1 year ago today I finally turned up to collect my PhD certificate in the usual ceremonial fashion. I deferred for a while (they only hold two a year) and pondered skipping the ceremonial event (and just getting it posted), but was ultimately convinced (I’m trying to avoid saying “nagged”) into attending an event, in…

    There’s always room for hope

    For the last 4 years America has performed a rectal exam on itself, in full view of the world’s media. Unsurprisingly it has not been pretty, but I hope one day we can look back and see it as necessary. “Business as usual” is the fundamental reason America is coming apart at the seams, it…

    A cold strange day in Worcester

    Yesterday I had to deal with the annual unpleasantness of my vehicle MOT. Because nothing was open I couldn’t head to a cafe and carry on working as I normally would. Instead, I dressed for the cold and hit the streets for some exercise. Worcester was like the set of 28 Days Later, eerily quiet…

    A bit more snow, a few more outings

    The winter freeze has been a treat and I have ventured out as much as possible. Back to work tomorrow, I’m prepared for the worst and hoping for the best.

    Snow prep.

    My reasonably priced snow boots (I’ve got a flash pair that I don’t wear when it snows because they’re too beautiful to get dirty πŸ™„) have a hole in. That’s a bit of an issue given their purpose in life, so I picked up a very reasonably priced replacement pair. They were the last pair…

    Sunset on 2020

    My NYE was probably pretty typical of someone who turns 40 this year: a cheeseboard, better wine than normal, chatting (online) and snuggling with my cat (who’s being more “loving” than normal because of the cold weather 😼). I also went out for a walk, discovering the nice field below…

    Snow dogs

    I managed to get to Lido Park early this morning. The dogs were having a great time, as was everybody else. I was just happy to get some exercise and justify my snow boots πŸ™‚πŸ₯ΎπŸ₯Ύ

  • Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

    Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

    How do you know if you’re old and miserable? Well in my opinion your knee-jerk response to snow is a good indicator, especially in England where it is a rare treat. If you see “proper” snow and your immediate inner voice is a grumpy whinge then sorry, you’re old and miserable. If however you have…
