Road trip (for official work purposes)
So I finally made the long awaited in-person trip to my new work place on Thursday. My office is a blank canvas with lots of potential, in part because of the amazing views. 😍 What price do you put on a beach side location too? Bring on summer ☀️🏖️

At least the office is getting better
Since getting the new job I haven’t had time to leave my office (very literally) so I might as well make it comfortable. I’ve bought an amazing new office chair (Sihoo is the brand – very highly rated but not silly money💰). I’ve also retrieved a rug that doesn’t suit the dressing room anymore now…

46th President of The United States
Dear America, Four years ago you broke the heart of all the world’s educated and liberal people by electing a former reality TV host and psychopath to the office of President of the United States. 63,000,000 Americans went to the polls in 2016 and told the world that you were willing to hand the world’s…

What else would I be doing today?!
What is freedom? I have no idea but from my perspective, not having children is a big part of it! Don’t get me wrong I’m morally bound to do my bit for the “greater good” every now and again, trying to undo black hearted villains’ attempts to make things worse for everyone else – you…

Happy Halloween all! (OK, it’s next weekend but you can’t dress the place up on the actual day can you?) 🙂

Battle ready
In the final few years of my PhD I became determined to limp across the line with the tech I started with. We were a team, me & 3 inanimate objects that I sat staring at for 1,000s of hours. It would have seemed wrong to drop any of them towards the end of the…

Out with the old in with the new
The big day has finally come: my trusty work computer has been replaced. It will now take up a new role as the main computer in my gym/garage. My red Toshiba has been a total work horse. I wrote my PhD on it, I developed this website on it and I used it for every…

Update: Cat’s Winter Palace
Alas the Tabby Terror’s Winter Palace is complete. It comprises a wooden house, a fancy bed, a high-tech self-heating mat and a cosy blanket. I have also secured a cat sized hot water bottle but it’s not cold enough for that yet. This brings me to the aesthetic touches which include an illuminated tree and…

First ride of autumn proper
Oh this starting a new job thing is all consuming! Well, almost all consuming – I managed to get in a ride this afternoon. Otherwise the whole weekend was a matter of ticking off the boxes. Anyway, it was a better performance than I expected. I didn’t push particularly hard but clocked up a comfortable…

Changing the seasons
Last weekend I did the quarterly rotation of clothes and home accessories to reflect the change in seasons. The cushions went from summer to autumn, the hot weather attire went back into storage for another year and warmer clothes were retrieved. I will do another rotation in December to bring out the Christmas gear and…
