Fair to say I'm looking forward to Project Hail Mary coming out next year.
Interesting to see something that looks like an Ariane in the trailer.

When I was a kid I loved building Lego. I was quite good at creating my own stuff too.
But I'm crap at it now. There are just so many different pieces that do the one job they need to do.
The creativity is all different.
I liked having to be imaginative with the few bits I had.

Whizzing through the countryside on a train, heading south from London on a sunny spring evening really is a super advert for Great Britain.

I seem to come up with my best ideas when I'm walking the dog.
The problem is that I need to finish the ideas I've already had before I start something new.

It's amazing how few pixels you need before the anthropomorphism kicks in.

10 years since we sent Astro Pi to the space station it's still going strong.
Today I completed another CPD session with primary teachers, who will be sending code to space with their classes in no time!

I can't believe it took me until my mid 40s to discover that unconditional love from a dog is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world.

Making paper planes with a group of Guides.
It's all about inspiring them, but I always come away from these events feeling inspired and energised myself.
