A tabby cat sits triumphantly on her human's lap, looking directly into the camera. Meanwhile, the book the human is reading - 'Categories of Experiential Grammar' by Kristin Davidse - is being pushed out of frame.

20+ years of surgeries, scans, specialists and treatment plans.

Every new-to-me GP I have to interact with: maybe you're just depressed?

Took a break from #ISFC50 goings-on to go look at some old trams, some old gravestones and to recharge the old social battery.

The destination sign says 'Duntocher'.

Great to catch your talk. Sounds like a brilliant idea! It'll be interesting to follow how this pans out. Enjoy Loch Lomond

This is purely a Glasgow Subway stan account now.

Sincerest apologies to anyone who followed for niche language content and photos of my cats.

Oh you're in good company. Word puns in the wild are the best.

Since moving to West Wales I've developed a bit of an obsession with finding Welsh puns in particular. CysCi dog boarding in Tanygroes deserve an award.

Conference 2 of 3 was ✨challenging✨, so I took an Ikea break and sought solace in the ever-open arms of a DJUNGKELSKOG.

We are *so* back.

So, what did *you* get up to in your eight hours of downtime between back-to-back conferences? 🫣😴
