The Artemis II crew is a breath of fresh air into the news cycle.

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! Slightly suffering the consequences of my actions - namely I'm tired after staying up to watch #artemisII launch last night.

A lot of tea will be needed before my first meeting ☕

Staying up to watch #ArtemisII in the UK, hope my pupils are ready for me to be excited about it tomorrow #scienceteacher

Cartoon showing how “bikes can carry more shopping than you think; there’s a bike for just about everyone; commuting on two wheels is great for mental health; avoiding congestion means the school run is quicker; you can leave the fuel for those that need it; and cycling is fun, healthy, inexpensive, and good for the planet.”

How we can save fuel on shorter journeys in cities — a simple, classic message that’s useful every day, but especially when fuel costs are spiking. Spread this #UrbanTruth around. Thanks to @davewalker.bsky.social & @cyclinguk.bsky.social.

Yes - planning on staying up (off to get snacks shortly)

Morning #teacher5oclockclub!

Up early to do battle with a data set before the day begins. With a lot of supporting tea.

Have a good day all ☕

Quadbike with strimmers in woods

Great morning doing some clearance work. Lots of strimming! Beautiful setting and a lot of deer. All set for next weekends national XC course (SWMTB's round).

Very enjoyable de-stress from several days troubleshooting large data set operations in excel.

Great start to the day on this morning's commute 🚲

Congratulations!

Eldest earlier - Daddy I know you want to read my Biggles book so I've left on your bed to read later.

So now I'm sat reading Biggles. Very happily 😊

That would be because it has a large flight of stairs at the end.... Because it isn't finished yet

Sam deployed on drain duty... Today's timing job was very damp. Donut duathlon for Sportiva Events

Hope it goes well despite the interrupted night

We can all agree that I'd look fantastic on a £5 note

Recent weeks show our reliance on cars, but cycling can help. Most 2024 journeys were under 5 miles, ideal for cycling. Swapping short car trips saves £, pollution & fossil fuel use. Safer roads matter, which is why backing #MyRideOurRight helps everyone.

Hope everything goes well!

Oooo @londonmountainfestival.com online has begun!

Two scientists walk through a cluttered old-fashioned science laboratory. The female scientist says “Analogue instruments! Paper records! Chalk boards! I thought you'd agreed to modernise the laboratory?” The male scientist replies “That's what i'm so excited about: we have moved to cloud-based storage for our data!” They step out onto a balcony. She says: “Please tell me you haven't built a library zeppelin” This is exactly what he has done. It floats across the sky and he adds “It's got a fax machine!”

Chickens

Some hooliganism in the run... But relatively speaking this is an improvement, they have only emptied some of their bedding

#chickens

Reverend Jesse Jackson called on each of us to be heralds of change, to be messengers of hope; to step forward and say “Send me” wherever we have a chance to make an impact.

How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him.

Enjoying sorting out the mini-dinosaurs before sitting down at the computer to deal with some fairly significant MAT pain in the backsideness.

I'm sure there are benefits to being in some MATs, but that doesn't seem to apply to the one I've been in.

However, the chickens are great 👍

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! After a really good visit to another school yesterday, back at the data job today.

Start is a little earlier than planned as a) I forgot to shut the cat downstairs so b) she decided to walk up and down on me at 4am.

Going to be a day for tea ☕ !

Here we go again! Short XC this morning at Grammarcombe with South West Mountain Biking. Kids categories have grown somewhat so should be some close racing.

And for the first time no cables between control and the finish line - new power bank.

Morning #teacher5oclockclub ! A data and meetings day today. Unfortunately it looks like a damp commute too.

Have a good day all ☕

FFT datalab might have something

It is now possible to get pretty complex with a bicycle!

Electronic gear shifting has certainly brought its own set of challenges.

That's slightly bonkers 😂

We switched to a 5G router with a cheap SIM in it. It's faster and cheaper than what we had before, and considerably faster for the money than the fibre deals that are now available on my street.

Usually 70-150mbs (which is fine) at £18 a month. Unlimited data.
