Landed in London. There was a CRAZY aurora outside on the flight over, I've never seen anything like it! Absolutely surreal...

Further Confusion was really good this year, as it always is! Going in I'd been worried it would be a quiet one but it was lots of fun start to finish. Thanks to the many many wonderful friends I was able to spend time with, see you again next year or (hopefully) even sooner!

Visiting the physics department at UC Davis yesterday and today. It's a nice campus (and all the students bike, so it feels almost continental European despite being in the California Central Valley). Will be visiting a local friend tomorrow - and then I'll be off to FC!

2025 was a strange one for me... a lot of good times, some very difficult times. It's left me with a lot to think about. I hope 2026 is calmer and steadier...!
