Fantastic day helping researchers in Grenoble give amazing presentations.
I had just enough to take one photo with what may or may not be an Alp.
Now back to Paris 🎉

C’est un selfie dans le train, mais en français.
Don’t let the hoodie fool you. I don’t even know how to play rugby, I just thought it was cute.

Had to leave my little blue companion in London while I’m in France because you can’t take mom-native species in (even though it died nearly 10 years ago)

Someone on the tube reading one of my least favourite books- the critically acclaimed Laidlaw by William McIlvanney. Granted I was only a teen and wonder if I’d find it as grim, dull and unlikeable as I do now.

The least glamorous part of the sleeper train (which isn’t at all glamorous) is the arrival. Train arrived at 7:53 and departed at 8:00. So it feels like an emergency evacuation, racing so they don’t take you half dressed back to Scotland.

A late one but it’s the first sleeper train of the year.
(My original one was cancelled but they got me a room on the one from Inverness. Also got an upgrade, a refund and some fudge 🎉)
Stopping in London, Paris and Grenoble to give talks. Toot toot 🚂

What kind of Reform-voting nonsense is this.
Am I angry? No
Am I sad? No
Pity is what I feel. Your entire wit-void, grievance-led, empty life is written out on your chest.

Star Trek fans: I love him and would die for him
Also Star Trek fans: eww why would fat people even exist in the future.
Their misogyny is shining as bright as ever. I feel so sad that this wonderful cast is receiving so many unjustified and unpleasant comments.
So better Trek fans. Do better.

I’ve seen the first ep of Star Trek Academy now.
Better than I’d expected. My main criticism is that it couldn’t decide if it’s a cute teen show or an adult drama and flicked between the two.
But the actors were great and Holly Hunter is wonderful. Also 🥰🥰🥰 to have Bob Picardo back on screen.

Just need to look at recent reality tv voting to see why I have such low faith in jury trials. Unconscious (and conscious) bias is insidious. I want a trained and accountable system.

Today’s Scottish word (which I just discovered is Scottish) is a “minding”. It’s a small present as in “nothing special, just a wee minding”. Coming from the Scottish use of the word “mind” to mean “remember”.
