Sous les pavés, la plage I guess.

Wildflowers growing up through the middle of an old rusted wheel with a bald tyre.

Getting my ducks in a row for a super fun weekend. If you know you know.

A clump of those little stringy things we use to fasten exam script books together.

The Pogues' Red Roses for Me 40th anniversary show in Dublin was incredible. RIP Shane.

Tis the season to remember by far the single greatest contribution to the "Fairytale of New York" lyrics debate.

Tweet from Laurence Fox (@lozzafox) suggesting the Pogues' Fairytale of New York should be sent to number 1 in the charts to send a message to "The cultural commissars at the BBC ... telling you what is and isn't appropriate for your ignorant little ears." The official Pogues account quote tweets it with the caption "fuck off you little herrenvolk shite."

Lots of #sneachta in the Kanturk/Newmarket area this morning. My husband tells me the roads are very slippy. The Land Yacht (ev converted BMW E39) was well able for it though. Heavy and wide like meself says you.

Two cars outside a cottage and some outbuildings covered in a centimetre or two of snow.

Thinking about methods I could use to explore how the agent ('consumer', 'citizen', 'patient', 'community member' etc. etc.) is imagined in public health, especially in relation to eating and food choices. Open to suggestions, with @statsepi.bsky.social's evidence pyramid as my north star.

Got to give a talk to some colleagues at Sciensano in Brussels yesterday, discussing how the new (re)medicalisation of obesity will/ should affect how we think about public health prevention.

This year, we didn't have a many small, scary callers as usual. Even so I'd just like to apologise to the tooth fairy and the parents for the Refreshers. (In my defence I did eat quite a few of them myself...)

Homemade (badly) sign saying:
Welcome, mortals, but beware:
These sweets are here for things that scare,
For ghouls and ghosts and creatures rare,
But you can take some... IF YOU DARE!
