Professor of Physics, fires X-rays at things, apparently Associate Pro Vice Chancellor for Research for Science and Engineering at *a university*. Also sings a bit, makes stuff, and is inexplicably attractive to cats that aren’t mine.

[pic of cat looking thru cat flap door and person is pointing at them]  @Pingosaurus

The cat flap in my kitchen door is now officially renamed the Straits of Hormuz as it seems to be opening and closing every five seconds and I'm not sure when I agreed to any of this.

Today someone got the words “repository” and “suppository” briefly confused on a teams call and I managed not to say anything inappropriate or laugh or anything. You have no idea how difficult this was.

Chunky chenille scarf (courtesy of the Aldi middle aisle, two quid per skein!) - had the yarn for over a year but it spoke to me this weekend.

Did emergency first aid training today for work. Part of it was learning how to use a defibrillator. Since defibs have become available, surviving an outside hospital cardiac event has gone from 1% to 75%. Take two seconds to find your nearest one. defibfinder.uk

When I’m stressed at work I don’t like to come in and sit straight down as I’ll dwell on things, so I’d rather be productive. Anyway, apropos of nothing, I made a banana and coconut loaf this evening.

Today’s rice dish took us to Korea and my attempt at a bibimbap. Also made bulgogi, and had a go at mayak “drug” eggs and I can very much see where they get the name from, I’ll be taking those for lunch tomorrow with some rice!

This? Oh this is just a cat that was furious with me for working from home today so sat on the windowsill by my desk with her front legs jammed behind the radiator, while she metronomically kicked the blinds with her back feet, maintaining hard eye contact throughout.

South Indian lemon rice with roasted peanuts and curry leaves, chicken pathia, and Muttar paneer. My quest to try new rice dishes continues and this is the best thing I think I’ve ever cooked.

Home made blueberry ice cream - trying a new recipe and I’m very happy with it, next time I’d add a tad less vanilla and a little bit of honey.

My quest to try a new rice dish every week started this week with a pilau. Served with a chicken tikka and a chana saag, I’m happy with how it turned out!

Bit of a cooking day today. Used up the cheese board leftovers and Xmas smoked bacon to make a luxurious mac and cheese and busked a new chana saag recipe to have with my new years quest - a new rice dish every week. Tomorrow we’re trying a proper pilau.

On reflection, it was a mistake to let her have three catnip toys at once.

This little one has been a bit weird today - I think the last week has been a bit much for her. She’s eating well and wants fuss but also doesn’t want too much fuss. If she’s still being weird tomorrow she’s going back to the vet.

As someone who sings a bit, and loves live music, a common topic of conversation is “if you could sing like anyone who would it be”. And the answer is always Annie Lennox. Though not on this track. #totp

I’ve been greeted by a very enthusiastic Frank who is clearly very much on the mend and would like me to know that this doesn’t mean that she still shouldn’t have treats for being poorly.

This furious little girl has been back to the vet. Her temperature is normal, they are delighted with her progress and we just need to monitor her for a couple of days. It was a pretty serious injury and infection but they said she’s bounced back better than they could have hoped.

24 hours on from our trip to the emergency vet and someone is feeling a little better. She’s back cuddled up in the spare bed and has eaten well. We have a check up tomorrow afternoon but her paw already looks less swollen and she can weight bear on it now.

Prof. Pingosaurus @pingosaurus.bsky.social · 24/11/2024
Well, we’ve had quite the morning. Frank was a bit lethargic and when I looked she had a very swollen paw that she couldn’t put weight on. Turns out she had a huge abscess which needed draining. She’s had antibiotics and pain killers. She’s still grumpy but seems brighter.

Frank came down for breakfast around 6.30 am today. She has not moved from the spare room bed since then. Even by cat standards that’s some impressive laziness.

Surely the next episode can't be a awful as this one. A few months back they were showing them is order so every Friday in September we had to listen to Brian Adams 4 time a Friday evening. #TOTP
