I rather missed the boat on this one, apologies for its lateness. In my defence, we've mostly not been in the UK for the past two weeks.

April starts off quite domestic with lots of cat clips, and finishes in central Europe with lots of adventure clips. We travelled from [home] to Vienna, Austria via nine different trains, one of which morphed into a German rail replacement bus services which turned out to be terribly civilised.

This photo of Comet on the bookshelves in my office made me laugh when I ran across it today, so I'm sharing.

Trips to Nottinghamshire, Germany, and London feature here, along with time spent at the bouldering gym, on culinary experiments, and serving our lords and masters, the cats.

Bookended by new whiskies. Plenty of cats, food, and family in between.

Happy New Year!

My 1SE video is late again! I'm not happy about that, but I am happy about the amount of cats, and about Spooky Season. Will be catching up on all of your videos tonight.

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 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.

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.

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 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.
