Week off is not going to plan! Bother.

Our neighbours daughter is getting married tomorrow. Since I made crochet koalas for her sister's wedding last year, it was lemurs this time. And a trombone and a euphonium. So this is what I just dropped off:

I'm excited to share that my promotion to Professor becomes effective today. It took more than a village, and I’d like to thank family, friends, students, colleagues and collaborators for all of their support.

We are organising a one-day symposium in memory of Chris Adams, here in Bristol Chemistry on 27th June 2025, from 10 am. Details, programme and registration form here: cjasymposium.blogs.bristol.ac.uk
Please register by the end of this week if you plan to come for dinner.

Can't attach picture to a chat message, but this one is for @bedcatalysis.bsky.social...

As for the card he included, it looks like the late Molly, and I've just got some dust in my eye...

So pleased that my @iaindwelch.bsky.social art prints arrived today, they are lovely.

Stollenbites!

First time making Stollenbites, and they look and taste good!

Minor complications with a dog scent-trained on cloves, but she's stopped indicating a find for the moment.

I'm not sure they are here yet, but my proud supervisor congratulations to Xue Fang, co-supervised by Charl Faul, who passed her PhD viva today! Thank you to Andrew Logsdail and Craig Butts who examined her and the Fey and Faul groups for helping with the celebrations. #ChemSky #CompChemSky
