Professor of Physics, fires X-rays at things, apparently Associate Pro Vice Chancellor for Research for Science and Engineering at *a university*. Also sings a bit, makes stuff, and is inexplicably attractive to cats that aren’t mine.
Today someone got the words “repository” and “suppository” briefly confused on a teams call and I managed not to say anything inappropriate or laugh or anything. You have no idea how difficult this was.

Did emergency first aid training today for work. Part of it was learning how to use a defibrillator. Since defibs have become available, surviving an outside hospital cardiac event has gone from 1% to 75%. Take two seconds to find your nearest one.

When I’m stressed at work I don’t like to come in and sit straight down as I’ll dwell on things, so I’d rather be productive. Anyway, apropos of nothing, I made a banana and coconut loaf this evening.

Today’s rice dish took us to Korea and my attempt at a bibimbap. Also made bulgogi, and had a go at mayak “drug” eggs and I can very much see where they get the name from, I’ll be taking those for lunch tomorrow with some rice!

This? Oh this is just a cat that was furious with me for working from home today so sat on the windowsill by my desk with her front legs jammed behind the radiator, while she metronomically kicked the blinds with her back feet, maintaining hard eye contact throughout.

Home made blueberry ice cream - trying a new recipe and I’m very happy with it, next time I’d add a tad less vanilla and a little bit of honey.

My quest to try a new rice dish every week started this week with a pilau. Served with a chicken tikka and a chana saag, I’m happy with how it turned out!

Bit of a cooking day today. Used up the cheese board leftovers and Xmas smoked bacon to make a luxurious mac and cheese and busked a new chana saag recipe to have with my new years quest - a new rice dish every week. Tomorrow we’re trying a proper pilau.
