Great to be at the first meeting of the UK Statistics Assembly, jointly organised by the UK Statistics Authority and the @royalstatsoc.bsky.social. Big focus on how we get the best out of the UK’s official statistics. I’ll be facilitating a session on crime statistics this afternoon

Any Kylie fans out there?! Forgot I had ordered this beauty. Her new album on crystal clear vinyl! That’s today’s music taken care of!

Anyone for apple crumble? Went for a day trip to Melrose yesterday and stumbled in their annual apple festival. Who knew there were so many varieties? And a delicious take away crumble!

That gutted feeling when you finish a jigsaw and discover there’s a piece missing. This one was a work of art for Susan - really difficult but now complete, except for the pesky missing piece!
