We are lucky to find any bananas in Tesco's these days. I didn't see empty supermarket shelves before brexit - or filled with sub-standard fruit - both regular occurrences now.

that's three full weeks clean from twitter now, onwards to the next milestone at three months.

Hardly surprising, and due mainly to the number of additional tasks added to the academic’s workload.

Where do retired people fit into this? Do they keep the same classification as during working life?

I have a little side-hustle to monitor changes in wildlife at a local site. I've installed a Song Meter in the grounds with dawn/dusk monitoring, analysis with Chirpity. Here's the data showing the arrival and build-up of the spectacular skeins of pink-foot that are now filling the evening sky.

Fork lifting in the first few of our intact macrofaunal sediment communities ! Thanks team, great day, and plenty of exciting data to come for our NERC funded Ecowind project (ecological effects of offshore wind).

Great to make observations throughout an entire offshore wind farm to investigate the ecological effects of offshore wind expansion in our shelf seas. Fieldwork led by @krysiamazik.bsky.social and looking forward to receiving intact communities for follow-up lab experiments.

Wondering whether Gladstone Dock lock is the largest structure of its type in the world? Seems larger than what I remember of Panama locks. And we saw a pirate ship earlier in the day.

Gravel bike, 60mm tyres with a high level of personal fitness and you’ll be fine on any NCN route 😬

Seaforth container terminal as we wait for the dock gates to open. I’m in the minority of about 0.1% of people that think the second Stone Roses album was better than the first.
