Headed to #RadTechCon by boat. Not the quickest or cheapest way to get there, but a lot less stress than taking the tube in #London during rush hour. Taking in some sights. I remember when the Thames Barrier, the Millenium Dome, and the cable car were built, but never visited when I lived here.

The executive decision of the day: will Tom or won't @tommcraemusic.bsky.social smile? 😁 Nope. Oh well. Nevertheless, so good to hear 'Hidden Camera Show' being performed live again for the first time in ages with a full band. Part of the set list from the #Amsterdam Tolhuistuin show on 23/11/25 🎼🎵🎤

Tonight's the night! Seeing (singer songwriter) @tommcraemusic.bsky.social at Tolhuistuin, which is just a free ferry ride across from #Amsterdam Centraal station. Tom + band will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut self-titled album. Still a classic and more relevant than ever!

Headed to #Madrid to see @radiohead.wastehq.social After much persistence I was lucky enough to nab a last minute re-sale ticket via the official platform. Any tips for quick sightseeing jaunts or recommendations for good places to eat in the city? Muchas gracias! 🎼🎵🇪🇦

Today I came into contact with someone who wrote a text book that was key to my first undergrad degree #linguistics 30 years ago, and discovered that his brother had written one of the text books used in my second undergrad degree #geosciences. Lecturers are like rock stars! 👩🏻‍🎓

Does anyone have a recommendation for a textbook that could be used for both mineralogy and ig/met petrology courses? I’m trying to reduce the number of books my students need to purchase and have found that hard copies work better for them than online-only options.

Just been to see #Hamilton at Norwich Theatre Royal. Holy moly, the performers have an insane amount of lyrics, stage blocking and choreo to recall!!! Their brain synapses must be firing at even more breakneck speeds than us mere mortals! Impressive! 🎼🎵🎶🧠

My digital music provider has such a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour in its algorithm. On my cycle home from work today it put together a #Coldplay themed playlist featuring 'The Jumbatron Song' 🤣😂🤣😆🤣 Too much, too soon? 🎼🎵🎶

Did everyone here in the UK get the test #alert this afternoon. It went off here at my workplace, so it was like an orchestra of phone alarms going off

It's about time I announced a project that I've been working on in the last year... I wrote a book!

youtu.be/1op0lvXeNZQ?... Learning a little more about the #geology of my local area here in #Norwich in the east of England. Funnily enough, the bus being swallowed by a sinkhole featured shortly afterwards in an advertising campaign of a well-known brand of chocolate 😋🍫 ⚒️🧪

Presented at the Future of Volcanology today at #IAVCEI2025

Despite delays from the previous talks & tech hiccups (while we were all starving!!), I’m so grateful for those who stayed till the end with me.

The feedback and support afterwards truly made it all worth it!
