#today is #NewScientist article splurge day, but I also have to do some admin for #JournalClub and the inventors' club, and I'd like to maintain the slight
#today in at uni to support a friend doing his viva, my supervision, and maybe even a bit of research!
my mommy made me a cheeseccake from an old cookbook she got 50 years ago on a trip to the USA which young me subsequently doodled on said cheesecake page.
we are figuring i was trying to write "only make on my 48th Birthday" 🎉
😆

My wife today found out that we are Xennials. #TIL #todayilearned
#today I have made arrangements to return my uni loan laptop since I think that one part of my planned research will not happen, I am fixing a couple of historical data glitches in my solar PV generation gathering, and I may start work publishing an independent set of temp/RH% measurements for my home for last year. I have been invited out this evening to the big smoke (central London) by friends…
#today (very grey and overcast and raining though not cold ~12C) very slowly doing small bits of admin, and listening to some ambient music:

#today shortly off to a friend's birthday party at the pub, and then I *should* get on with more research planning, but I am now at the difficult "what if" part and my head is empty!
#today I have been reviewing (first pass) a document that I have been waiting for for a long time, and only now am I going to tackle the #NewScientist article splurge (well, nearly: a couple of other things to read first)...
The popping was a little underwhelming! My popcorn is a little aged! #today #food #popcorn #appliances
#today in at uni with various clashing events, and then off to see a friend's dance performance in the evening....
Bright, sunny, blue sky, just above freezing as I wait for my train.
#today working through some admin chores. Managed a quick walk dodging today's leaden skies and heavy downpours... I think that I have caught up on sleep from the weekend's jollies...
Using my birthday present / popcorn maker for the first time! I had one a few years ago and wore it out. 🍿 😆
#today #food #popcorn #appliances
Was out boozing with a friend last night, so I am taking it easy #today (no booze or even coffee, maybe) and I will be going out for a short walk in the sunshine imminently. The rest of the family is away until Tuesday.
#today resting up after getting home about 5am - last light included a live French modular synth plus singing/wailing duo that was fab!
#today I am in at uni, likely the last time this year, for #JournalClub this morning. We will be reviewing the Monsanto glyphosate safety paper #retraction:
#today I'm slacking in bed to let the end of this annoying cold/cough slip away (I had a very sweaty night last night). I have put off some (overdue) admin again until tomorrow. Managed to absorb a lunch pizza with lots of fresh garlic and some chili and black pepper, all purely medicinal ofc, along with industrial quantities of coffee...
#today is #uni again including #JournalClub, then in the evening #inventorsClub.
I will contin…
