Decided to have a geeky afternoon making an updatable map of our adventures complete with Ronnie icon. What better way to spend a day off work. 🐾🗺️

Fun day by the river in Alston. Only sensible place for a spaniel in this heat.

When I got Ronnie I decided to try and see every part of the UK with him. At 18 months he has seen quite a bit of the north. Red are the counties we have been to, green are the targets for the next year.

Every return from holiday requires the “where is Trigger” hunt (she avoids the cat sitter). This time she has nested on a carrier bag behind a storage unit. She’ll emerge properly when she realises we are home and the stranger is not coming back. 🤣

Highlight of my break was spotting this little fellow. According to locals he is not a snake but a legless lizard. 😊

Going through a huge bout of insomnia at the moment and seriously jealous of Ronnie’s ability to sleep anywhere, anytime.

Not at all scared of flying, however, I’d have preferred a tad more de-icer use than this before taking my seat. Why wait in terminal when we can all freeze in a metal tube while they warm it up. ❄️ 🥶

It’s that time of year again. Looking forward to celebrating graduation with last year’s MSc bioinformatics group tomorrow morning. Also hoping the weather will be nicer than last year…
