I’ve seen plenty of pictures, but the restored Palm House at @thebotanics.bsky.social in person is really special. Highly recommend!

Trying to distract myself from how cold it is this morning by inspecting the train station forest. Shame I don’t have time to go in.

A desk! An office! I’m an actual PhD student now 😊

It would be if they hadn’t fallen out of my pocket on the way home 😅

“Poor kid“ is criticism.

Food shops are made marginally more bearable through offers only accessible on apps. My local GP has now switched to repeat prescriptio ordering through their website. I could go on and on and on.

It’s not really about being old school - there is only one “school”. No children’s sports team will have any other way of communicating/ confirming attendance than the Spond app or similar. Schools often only have people actually reachable by phone during very limited (work) hours. Extortionate 1/

Was not expecting this mouse friend at Anniesland Station last night!

I didn’t even know I was runner up because I don’t get the all staff emails anymore 😆 Sarah’s was delicious too

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books, drink tea, and eat pastries in a humble seaside cottage during a raging storm?

Tonight’s bedtime discussion yielded the insight that My Immortal’s author notes read like they were written by a 40K orc and that honestly elevates the entire experience. Like it’s an orc‘s fantasy of what da hoomies would enjoy.

Given that I’ll continue to spend a lot of time reading papers and wrangling QGIS/R, I got my future self a gift: a mug warmer. At least now my hot beverage will stay hot!

A white ceramic mug with a blue dragon holding a cookbook saying “steak St George” on it sits on a black cartoon cat shaped silicon mug warmer in front of a computer screen.

Sounds like the former was written by a German - that’s our standard modus operandi 🥴

Repotted my monstera. Turns out it was unhappy because it is in fact five monsteras. Unsure what to do with my new jungle.

Fearless mousey getting ready for autumn ❤️ Right next to the kids getting ready for paddleboarding!

My competition potatoes (left) may have come last, but my actual potatoes (right) are trucking along nicely!

Thank you! The project title is "Plants with Purpose: Enhancing the Role of Scotland's Urban Forest for Landscape-scale Nature Recovery“ and will be looking at how urban trees can contribute to biodiversity and connectivity 😊

Who‘s got a cheesy grin and will be starting a PhD with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh and the University of Stirling in October?

iNaturalist tells me these are shield bug eggs - @naturefromsam.bsky.social, can you help out?

Small, iridescent insect eggs in a cluster on some cut wood.

Storks are just so wonderfully weird. Straight up fairytale birds.

This deer lives in my mum and grandad’s adjoining gardens 🤷🏻‍♀️ They’ve named her Mompf (basically Chomp). She’s been around a couple of years and eats their flowerbeds.

Yes, because the route is always the same. So essentially a ready made transect!

The ORCA scientist was on board and just as excited as we were! She’s spending the whole month on the ferry doing cetacean counts.

I’ve taken the Newcastle - Ijmuiden ferry many times, but this time we saw a minke whale!!! Extraordinarily exciting.

That was quite underwhelming 😅 at least we had a yellow balloon and a penny to simulate what was going on for the assembled kids of Science Club…

Plus the Cambrian line is constantly out of order for one reason or another.

Three months, 48 sites, thousands of trees, “poor precision” and over 2000 miles driven - but today field data collection finished! Here’s us taking the final point.
