I swam Level Water’s Hurly Burly for the first time today. What an absolutely amazing event! A huge thank you to all the organisers, and I will definitely be back! #LevelWater #HurlyBurly #OpenWaterSwimming

This is my first time at the BMSS conference. I’ve been meaning to come for years, but there’s always been a clash. I’m really enjoying it, though have the graveyard shift for my talk later today. Hopefully a few people will still be around! #BMSS2026

Oxford’s Botley Rd railway bridge closure has spanned three prime ministers and transport secretaries, and two rail ministers. The Titanic, Eiffel Tower, and Empire State Building were all built in less time. Will it reopen as (re-re-re-re)scheduled on Sept 20? We wait with bated breath…

I definitely want to try London’s cool (presumably in every sense of the word) new pool 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️

This is definitely my new thing for the day - amazing.

I’m delighted to have spent a day and a half putting together slides for a 20-30 minute careers talk at a conference, only to receive an e-mail saying they now want a five minute informal summary with no slides 😡

Id forgotten how hard it is to ride up a mountain!

Cycling in the mountains for the first time in years - absolutely wonderful!

Geneva airport: left is the EU queue; right is the non-EU queue. Clearly Brexit has made everything so much better for all of us.

All corrrect, except for the word “few”, sadly.

I still can’t quite believe I fell over this morning and lost my shoe down a storm drain in Dallas. I mean, what are the odds?!

Normal summer river flow round here is around 6 m3/s. Kayaking at the weekend will be… interesting.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

After an enormous e-mail blitz this afternoon, my inbox is down to fewer than 100 messages for the first time in years. It’s a Christmas miracle!

After many months of careful watering, I have finally managed to grow a duck.

It took me till it was dark and you couldn’t see the weather any more to pluck up the motivation for this year’s Christmas lake swim. In the end it was rather nice in the dark with all the pretty lights 🎄 (though still take my breath away cold, and correspondingly rather brief!)
