This is my favourite laptop sticker and I have no idea why I like it so much (I paid £1 for it at Southampton Pride)

Where do I work? Oh, just a totally normal university library

Initial success in my quest for house plants that Snips won’t eat
October 12, 2025 at 11:00 AM
This beautiful little menace (who featured in my comedy set at the uni Open Day this afternoon) has found a new way to get to my houseplants which does not bode well for them

My phone showed me this memory from 4 years ago

Look how gleeful I am to be at Southampton Pride with the amazing Hannah from our Digital Scholarship team, using the team’s portable 3D printer

No pressure on this plant…

This is going on the wall as soon as I get a frame

I’m enjoying this so far except for the breaches of academic integrity* committed by pretty much all of the students which are causing me to rage

*Academic responsibility & conduct if you prefer

When I’m not standing in the garden holding a string, this is how I spend the rest of my time

The kitten (Snips) cannot be trusted to stay in the garden so is only allowed out on a harness, which doesn’t bother him at all

I feel a lot like a character from a Discworld novel standing patiently holding a water buffalo on the end of a length of string

This does not bode well…

First jaunt in the new kayak after my beloved original finally gave up the ghost

Very much enjoyed performing at the inaugural Southampton Science Comedy Fringe, and my jaw aches from laughing all the way through the other acts

I need to get out more

Good morning from Snips

Everytime I see these recently painted, bafflingly proportioned pedestrian symbols on campus I wonder why they went with this design

I had the joy of performing at this along with some very talented comedians. I am very grateful to the audience for joining me in a Bohemian Rhapsody singalong, with new lyrics reporting on a university Senate meeting 🎶

Updating my CV with “shadow puppet shows”

Tiger sitting next to the cat treat tin, sighing heavily while making eye contact with me. I wonder what he wants?

There is the thinnest veneer of ice on our local pond, just enough to support the weight of these gulls

I think my phone is on drugs
