October was a good month for board games, mainly because it included mine and my uni friends yearly week long board game retreat! 92 plays across 55 unique games! #bgstats #boardgames @revjb.bsky.social @peterrhague.bsky.social

Occasionally the ISS is visible at Christmas. It's a fun opportunity to 'Spot Santa' with your kids and stargaze. This year, the best visible pass is 6:20am (In the UK). If you have early risers, head outside, to watch Santa leave after delivering the presents!

It’s a glorious day why not step away from your desk and have a walk in the sun. And while you do, have a listen to the latest episode of the Space Now Podcast. David and I talk about Aliens and first contact. Let us know what you think would happen.

So it seems confirmed that SLS will be axed after Artemis 3, $4 billion cut from science research, cutting back in ISS research and crew and seemingly cutting their STEM outreach. The NASA budget request doesn't make the most inspiring reading: www.nasa.gov/news-release...

Can’t quite believe I’ve woken up today to hear that the ‘Leader of the free world’ has withdrawn support for an invaded country! Completely baffling, ridiculous and infuriating.

Made a banger of a comet today for space camp with @spacecentre.bsky.social! Not sure my pics are as good as Rosetta’s though! Telescopes and earth observation tomorrow might even dig out the IR camera! #ScienceCommunication #Outreach

Did the final of the 3 Vintage Cube drafts with @revjb.bsky.social tonight. Our best results yet, 2-1 with a Sneak and Show deck. Although in all the games we played we never actually got to swing with Emrakul 😞 #mtg #vintage #cube

Me and @revjb.bsky.social did our first Vintage Draft! We went 1-2 with a UR control, with the last loss due to us running out of time. It's my first time using MTGO, and in all 3 games I made some UI/UX errors, so hopefully we'll do better on the next drafts as I get used to the interface.

I love playing board games! Here’s my year in stats! Many fun games this year, many more to come next year. I do need to find more people to play with. Gotta make sure I play more next year! #bgstats #boardgames

Today I took command of my very own (simulated) satellite! Thankfully my procedures actually made sense and I was able to complete deployment, take an image of leicester and successfully execute my EOL procedure. Had a lot of fun learning mission command operations!

Today my phone reminded me off this vampire horse! We stayed in a hotel where it appeared overnight. We were informed the staff hide it at weekends to stop drunk people riding it! We were most confused when we came downstairs for breakfast thinking we’d checked in without seeing it!
