A pretty different breakfast view than my normal countryside one. 🤩

Theatre curtains and seats tend to be red because it’s the first colour we lose sight of when light fades, so they’re less distracting.

Having had a pair of kittens for a few months, I now fully appreciate where expressions like “scaredy cat” and “curiosity killed the cat” come from…

A good way to pass a grey cold January day. #caturday

As your weird /cool aunt, I just want to encourage you to be yourself and have fun. Life is short, most people aren’t even paying attention to you, so be bright. Try and beat back your fear and make wonderful things, even if they make you embarrassed. Try unusual things. And be as kind as possible.

Feels appropriate for my last working day of the year!

A quick break in the gloom down on #Bigbury beach today. Love it out of season down there.

I often show my students this visualization of how atmospheric CO₂ travels around the globe. Our attitude toward burning fossil fuels would change significantly if we could actually see CO₂. svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/goto?11719

First bsky post. No pressure. 😬 Let’s start with a nice picture from the last few days. 📷
