Looks more like a concrete pump to me ;-)

Beautiful afternoon on the Northumberland Coast.

Seem to have graduated to a new level… first time I can remember having 9-5 back to back meetings… #Ihatemondays

Delighted that Helena Brown (Technical Specialist in the Sorby Lab, University of Leeds) was highly commended in the Outstanding Technician of the Year category in the THE awards yesterday. Congratulations to the winner @jiteenahmed.bsky.social

As someone who still uses the DOS character set and who worries about filename length I will get to this in around 30 years.

Curled up stripy cat on a stripy duvet.

Olive enjoying a very relaxed #caturday.

It's a beautiful building, must be weird watching from the 'normal' seats. Hope you all have a great day.

Cross looking cat lying on a carpet

Scornful cat cross because she is not allowed outside to eat her own weight in flying ants.

New computer working hard processing photogrammetry survey, but weirdly silent. Only sign that it is busy is extra heat, enough to run my Sterling Engine…

Windows 11 update complete at home…

NFM CoP introduction slide

Looking forward to the NFM CoP in Kirkby Malham. Really interested in seeing a wide range of NFM projects.

Happy to chat, we have three systems. Pros and cons for each, same for suppliers.

Hmm maybe I should buy a kallax…

Olive a greedy little cat that likes eating things that make her sick

‘Owning’ a greedy cat with food intolerances is a messy business

Had a great day at the Confluence, lots of brilliant talks and discussion around a wide range of issues.

Exciting, we have an old XT and it’s a real workhorse, a great bit of kit.

Wave height data for the last ~24hrs showing maximum heights of nearly 20m.

Wave height data from offshore Ireland is a little terrifying, no doubt the sea is truly phenomenal at the moment. #landlubber

That is fantastic, never seen fluorescence like that.

Good to see you on here, it does seem a lot calmer and saner here...

Plot of Meanwood Beck level showing very sudden rise to > 1.5 m deep.

Flooding in Meanwood tonight, the Beck has gone a little crazy... Only ~ 24mm of rain today but rate really high > 100mm/hr...

Best possible way to end the week, new rig up and running... 🧪

Photo of Kingfisher defecating.

One from the weekend; fantastic combination of bird watching, with a little fluid dynamics and a touch of rheology.
