Buff... I remember that... (Not) Happy days 😓

I've asked a lot of people what it was like for them. Lots of different experiences, and yet so much in common. What was yours like?
I still think about this, and wonder what things would be like had #covid not happened, but I guess today's conversations made me think of it more than usual.

We came back to a completely different world. In my case, to my PhD, which I had to try to finish amidst a global pandemic that changed everything forever. Today, my partner was telling me about the start of the pandemic in London, and what it was like for him, and I'm still mind-blown.

We had spent the previous months at the Spanish research stations in Antarctica, watching the pandemic unfold from the distance, before being evacuated in a hurry. We eventually made it home, as this great article by @squigglyvolcano.bsky.social tells.

Five years ago I was in a ship in the south Atlantic Ocean, trying to get home before the entire world shut down. I remember walking around the deck, marveling at the albatrosses and petrels flying around the ship, while also feeling anxious looking at the news and wondering if we'd make it home.
