Managed to get some hobby done ahead of a local painting competition - the Light of Eltharion miniature from Warhammer Age of Sigmar was a really lovely model to paint (and very different to the hordes of Imperial guard I have on my painting to do list)

My #spotifywrapped for 2024 is going back to basics/comfort music a bit for me - most things at the top are also in my all time top list.

Our new paper led by Ron Clark from the National Nuclear Laboratory looked at the corrosion behaviour of the reduced activation steel Eurofer97 with and without ion irradiation. This helps understand materials behaviour in cooling circuits of future fusion tokamak reactors. doi.org/10.1016/j.jn...

We've been away in Copenhagen this week for the European Microscopy Congress (lots of interesting new electron microscope detectors to look at). It's fair to say Suki was happy to see us get home.

Looks like snatches of aurora visible even in the day today in Bristol?

Suki has a new chair and wants everyone to know she is very happy about it.

As a parent to a toddler, I find new conundrums. For instance, in the song "bibbidi bobbidi boo" from Sleeping Beauty, the ingredients to make bibbidi bobbidi boo already include bibbidi bobbidi boo - are the other ingredients redundant, or is this like a sourdough recipe where you need a starter?

At this time in the evening Suki will permit snuggles. Earlier in the day, no chance.
