This 1SE starts off in California, then goes back home (and to work), has a jaunt to Wales for some surfing and paddle-boarding, and ends up back home again. Also, spot the new Birkenstocks!


I turned my back to pick up the clothes to put into Eldest’s jumper-and-leggings drawer, and was treated to this fantastic 21-second display of total disdain upon my return. Thank you for putting me in my place, cat.

I don't entirely understand how this year is passing so quickly, but it's time for the monthly 1SE video again already. We're on holiday now until 10th August.

Somehow I have failed to post since 10th June, despite having posts written after the last weekly roundup. Life has been a bit stressful lately for a number of reasons but it is getting a little better now. The summer holidays are less than a month away, for both the children and for us.

Wow, I forgot to post this for a long time. I blame the excessive work-related travel (the Canaries, India) followed by interviews, a two-day workshop, and marking.

April has the usual dose of cats and children, plus a glimpse of the new car (Bogdan the Duster) and a conference in Vienna.

As usual, the cats feature heavily. Not much travel in this one except at the very end. One big highlight for me is my masters students disassembling and re-assembling a sounding rocket experiment in the CubeSat facility.


I made my 1SE for February and then forgot to post it here, although I did circulate to friends and family. Includes my trip to the USA to see my parents and other relatives, a weekend in Wales and a couple of trips to London and Birmingham, as well the usual cats and children. Watching this, last month looks a lot calmer than it was to live through.

I made this and then forgot to post it. Features a lot of canal walks and cats.
It's taken me more than an hour to catch up with four days of entries from you all, across DW and LJ. I'm definitely not complaining. I love spending time here reading. It certainly feels more rewarding than, say, trawling through FB trying to find actual updates from friends in between relentless adverts and algorithm-generated memes.

Astro and Comet are 1 year old today. They're now asleep on their favourite human's bed (Humuhumu).
