@maxturnerphoto I lament the loss of the £2.10 spoons pint at uni. How did it come to this?

Time to look for somewhere new to live I guess…#cycling

@BRBuckley @LboroScience Congratulations Ben!

Delighted to announce that I have been promoted to Professor! Thank you to all of my current and former group members, collaborators, colleagues and mentors over the years, without which this would not have been possible @LboroScience #useCO2

Here’s a 20 second film that it took me 40 hours to make and it’s called ‘You can never be forgiven for what you’ve done’ or something like that

Last day out on site over as the LRWT trainee reserves officer, but thrilled to be able to say I’ll be joining the ranger team at Beacon Hill from next week! Thanks to all the staff and volunteers at @LeicsWildlife for the amazing support and encouragement over the past 6 months!

@QueenPeggles Subconsciously wanting to join me on my morning dog walk? :)

AND why am I awake at 5 am…

@ChristieSteve @QueenPeggles @Holt_J88 😍 that’s fantastic! Think I need to get back on a lathe…!

Repurposed Chemistry benchtop from the old 4th floor lab in F Building!! Amazing woodwork skills from a current technician as a present to a former technician! @QueenPeggles

30 years old and I still can’t resist picking up every shiny conker I find…

@charnbrew Okay, thanks for getting back to me

@robjlee92 We use isinglass Rob

@charnbrew are your beers vegan friendly, or do you use isinglass finings?

@Meg__Cox That’s been my thinking too. I’ve slowly whittled the pile down over the years to “good” notes, but it still feels unnecessary…especially as I’m not even in a science field any more!

@robjlee92 I’m the same. I just see it as thousands of pounds worth of money and so many hours of work so keep hold of all of it 😬

House purge: to keep old uni notes or to get rid of the lot? Will probably never use them and all the info will be in textbooks…but it feels somewhat sacrilege to get rid of them.

@SebHaggett @LeicsWildlife Thanks! Can’t wait to really get stuck in!

Incredibly happy to be working for @LeicsWildlife as the new trainee reserves officer! First day out on site today, fencing at Wymeswold Meadows; a bit wet but still a great day!

@s_ladwa @LeicsWildlife Thanks Sweta, happy as a clam! Hope all is well with you and you’re enjoying your new job!

@robjlee92 @LeicsWildlife Congrats Rob! Hope you are doing well x

@HistoryFilmClub Metric pressure gauge in The Mask of Zorro before the metric system would have been adopted

Name one historical inaccuracy from a historical film or TV show that you just can't let go.

Pressure cookers are terrifying. I essentially have a bomb filled with dried beans hissing away on my hob…

Bumblebees and carder bees (plus my honeybees) have been busying themselves, and hover flies have been humming around the cleavers-tangled water bowl near the compost bins…#NoMowMay works - leave it alone and the wildlife will come. 5/5

Goldfinches abandoned the feeder for a week or so whilst they feasted on dandelion seeds, sparrows, dunnocks and blackbirds have foraged. Young starlings squabbled & begged to be fed (only doing so when parents are around - they seem perfectly capable of feeding themselves)….4/5

My gardens may look “untidy” at the moment (having not been mown for about a month except for the dog’s favourite patches)…but it makes me happy every day seeing so much more than just grass…1/5
