In today’s edition of #CatsinPublicHealth #CatsofBlueSky Henry Plantagenet had a noisy bath during a morning teams meeting. Then Elizabeth Tudor (Bess) demanded snacks via the medium of loud meows during an afternoon teams meeting.

Thanks Steve, very sad to lose him.

UK ‘could lose generation of scientists’ with cuts to projects and research facilities UK’s research funding body says best scientists are taking posts overseas due to lack of job stability at home

The quote - ‘do fewer things better’ from UKRI sounds a bit W1A managementsplaining - applied research usually needs the basics first? Or am I being the numpty here? www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

I shall get myself one 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Today I started my new job with Public Health Scotland from my house in Wales. I’m calling my desk ‘Little Scotland in Wales’

Henry Plantagenet now fully recovered after being unwell over Christmas, gets a new clean ruff. #CatsofBluesky

Yesterday I went to see 28 years later ‘Bone Temple’ it was great. Less impressed with the Duran Duran playlist used, they’re a bit ‘not to my taste’

Thanks Arwyn 😊

Today I had my P45, only the second one I’ve ever had in my working life- I’m not even sure the first counts as I got it after working a summer during my first year in university, for the same department I’d end up at through my sandwich year training, and then post graduation, until now. #Change

#Caturday Henry Plantagenet has found a sunny spot.

This #caturday Bess (Elizabeth Tudor) is mostly playing with her claws out. #CatsofBlueSky

Thanks 👍 🔬👨‍🔬 👩‍🔬

I feel your pain.

I need to hoover* this room, I have a dilemma (*vacuum clean with a Henry). Henry the cat btw (not the vacuum cleaner) spent most of Christmas being shuttled to and fro from the vets after not eating and losing a kilo in weight. The why remains a mystery. Do cats grieve when their companions die?

Here it is eating the calciworms I put out for the robin, that was also scared away

Happy new year 😂

This mistle thrush currently owns this holly tree, and most of my garden. Nothing is allowed to land without being chased away. Other mistle thrushes and black birds are afraid, Sparrow hawks are afraid, the cats are afraid. Even I was shouted at when I ventured out to defrost the bird bath. #Birds

Have they stopped calling it ‘super-flu’ yet? #H3N2

Here’s an ‘arty’ (read terrible) photo of the Cairngorms I took last week during a journey up to Inverness

Happy St Andrews day! It seems strange that in a few short months I’ll be working as a consultant virologist for Public Health Scotland. Although initially based in Wales just to add to the confusion.

I agree with that. I’ve just watched Frankenstein, it was heart wrenching. I’m sure just as the author intended.

I’ve worked in the same place for almost 30 years, I thought it was time for a bit of a change 😱

The worst kept secret is that in the new year, I’m (*very likely) leaving Public Health Wales for a different job (I’ll still be a consultant clinical scientist in virology) If there are clinical virologists looking for a job and Wales is on your list, please keep this in mind (*Pending paperwork)
