Motion to include some kind of laptop stand on trains 👩💻
I think I annoyed ChatGPT
We typo'd our email to the nursery - the baby attends "Babay Room" now 😎
When did the expression for "Excuse me" become "Sorry can you move?" 🫤
Interestingly, our 🔭 department at Herts has got a special room for milkshakes. Now, I've never managed to get in, so not sure if this is where you can get hold of a milkshake, or you just have to stand in there to drink one.
Found myself in need of a spoon at the adopted Lancaster office, but don't worry! SPAR sold me these handy desert spoons, which thankfully seem to work in the rain too.
I've updated my post on the funding crisis heading for British astronomy: docs.google.com/document/d/1.... UKRI made clear that astro and particle physics are being subject to unique cuts due to rising costs elsewhere. This looks like a deliberate decision not to fund fundamental physics. 🔭 🧪
Somewhere along the line turned into one of those people who will show you pictures of a baby you didn't want to see. Sorry about that.
I am having a bad day 😂 - but nearly made it to Hatfield 🎉
Rainbow as seen from my adoptive #astro desk yesterday! :)
Thank you! He occasionally visits Liverpool, so maybe we'll see you around one day :)
Welcomed back to work by the small grant rejection of course. Writing it was all-consuming for a few weeks (even while quite pregnant) - can't help but feel we need a better system. #Astronomy
Back at work after ~7 months maternity leave. So happy to be back in the swing, but now with new dimensions of baby-missing and random complications. 🙂
🤦♀️
Maybe it's entertainment for people who are very bored 😳
Ooh we should get a Halloween cake!
Matleave thoughts 2... I've been re-watching all of the "Educating [insert location]" series. I'm now really anxious about my GCSEs. 😫
Matleave thoughts... thinking of starting a blog of nappy changing tales. Day 107: it's another Timmy-two-poos day 💩💩
For some reason all of the Chinese restaurants in town have been unavailable on delivery apps and/or closed for at least 2 days. Any ideas @beyond.radio ?
When did it become "fill out" instead of "fill in"? (Forms...)
So long DurNAM, it was good while it lasted! #NAM2025
See you there hopefully!
Guess where I'm off to after my eye test! #NAM2025

Astronomers' chat here recently:
i) authors complaining that their referee report is late.
ii) referees complaining about how many review requests they get.
iii) editors complaining that it's hard to find referees.
No idea what the solution is, but it feels like the system is close to breaking... 🔭
Guess who just wasted a few hours marking the model answers (that she wrote herself) instead of the student's work? At least I passed.
Some kind of joke in here about Drakes too... 🦆
Don't worry plenty of assignment left as well as the day with brightly coloured paper... 😫
Final day of CPAD (enroute to our PGCerts/gaining FHEA as lecturers at Herts🤞)
Ahhh home at last
