In between the horrors occurring in the US and beyond, and the usual teaching/graduate admissions at this time of year, I've been enjoying a surprisingly good cup run in @officialfpl.bsky.social, entering in the round of 8.4M and now headed to the round of 8192 after 10 wins and considerable luck!

An epic but hugely enjoyable journey to the @SO_CHIC_EU summer school in Corsica starting in Oxford via Paris and Marseille, with a practise climb on my @BromptonBicycle ahead of the big one tomorrow. Now on the overnight ferry to Ajaccio, sadly not as green as I’d like.

Finished my classical mechanics course this morning with a lecture on the analogies between wave theory & Hamiltonian mechanics, and how Hamilton-Jacobi eqn leads to Schrödinger eqn. However, an important addition, flagging Schrödinger's child sexual abuse and other behaviour.

A huge thank you to @fabienroquet for an intense but hugely enjoyable and instructive workshop on drivers of the MOC in Bornö. A learnt a lot from the talks and conversations. Yes, had fly to get there but, when I do, trying to ensure the meeting is high value as the case here.

I finally found a benefit of Brexit - being allowed to purchase this rather nice bottle from duty free in Sweden! Follow up question from the cashier was how’s Brexit going? You can guess my answer …

Great to be back in Bornö for an intense workshop on drivers of global overturning, organised by Fabian Roquet!
