A nice "tradition" that's sprung up in #Southampton in recent years is hanging Christmas decorations in trees in the old cemetery in the city's Common. Living close to this, we've started joining in and here's some snaps of our yews plus a few other decorated trees.

Hey @royalsociety.org - hate to break it to you, but just because you were formed in the wake of Britain's last civil war, doesn't mean you'll weather one fomented by your most racist, most scumbaggy Fellow. You're embarrassing UK science by acquiescing to a fellow who doesn't even respect you.

@bas.ac.uk people - Is this true? If so, good for you.
I'm not sure what equivalent film would best work for computer-based Earth system modelling scientists (specifically marine 🌊 BGC), but I'm open to suggestions.

In a bit of a coincidence, it's 8 years to the day since I was using #Lisbon's funicular trams. The same day I also snapped the second image of some graffiti we spotted in the city. Some of the commentary today has put the blame (at least in part) on the burden #MassTourism puts on #MassTransit.
