It's been a while. I should do an update post:

I've now taken a part-time Energy Engagement Fellow position with the @rmets.org alongside my University of Edinburgh research. So there may be some more promoting of events, work and reports in the future!!

On the peak of the increasingly shortening time cycle of something frustrating happening in the world and thinking I should probably be more active on various social platforms, before forgetting they exist again...

Any day in which there is a new @gamechangershow.bsky.social to watch is a good day (yes, I'm 3 days late, but it's been a busy week). It may be because it's one of the few things more chaotic than reality at the moment, and for some reason, that's comforting.

Am I the only one that cannot find the Google calendar app on their phone at the start of every month because my brain has spent the last 18-21 days being used to the logo having two numbers, and when it changes to one it becomes completely invisible to me?

You did better than us here in Fife! Difficult to determine if the darkening was due to the missing 40% of the sun or just the clouds increasing.

A cloudy sky with no visible sun, taken from @DrMollyman's garden

Another partial solar eclipse, another cloudy day. Given my luck with them, I'd advise never going on a trip to see a full one with me.

Hope it's slightly better for everyone else

Officially migrated across (suitably late!)

Interesting start, I wonder how BlueSky knew about my nickname as "The Bollard" (AKA The immovable object in defence) from my PhD 5-a-side days when it started recommending accounts to follow...
