I’m a cycologist who also likes crochet and Everton. And lentils.
I’m teaching in a science lab today.
Own up.
Who’s got the gas lighter?

When you know you’ll find it difficult to do something later, you have to do all you can to smooth the decision to start. Laying out my clothes for the inevitable #winter #cycling #training and reducing #behaviouralfriction

The big project to rule them all is still ongoing but I also spent a bit of time dabbling in #tunisian #crochet I found it a lot more fiddly than regular crochet but I’m rather pleased with this neat and regular outcome.

Kind of disappointed you didn’t sneak a copy of this in between those two books.

There are some good recommendations in y/day's Select Cttee report. Until curriculum flexibility and accountability is sorted, there's a risk that SEND practice is inconsistent with other drivers to which schools must respond.

There’s a lot of stuff said about self-care and managing work related stress.
But it really is pretty straightforward.

On today's #cycle #commute I overtook the same SUV (occupancy, n = 1) 3 times, at junctions & traffic lights, across 10km, taking ~ 25 mins
This was through semi-rural and suburban areas, (see map), not a dense urban environment.
People on bikes don't slow up your commute.
Drivists do. #traffic

Some traditions are worth upholding.

Here are (most of; sadly we couldn't all fit in one screenshot) the 2025 @suedpsy.bsky.social new year one #edpsychs trainees, ready to be abandoned in the sub-Arctic, and hoping to make it out successfully.

Is there a better place to eat takeaway pizza? I think not. #annecy #holidays

What with it being our @suedpsy.bsky.social trainees’ #graduation tomorrow, I thought it was time for Hartley to make an appearance. He was knitted/born in 2020 when we had to start virtual COVID graduations. @unisouthampton.bsky.social

My #crochet content has been a bit light recently (mammoth project underway and won’t be complete for months) so here’s a bear I did manage to finish.
Say hello to Sven.

My @suedpsy.bsky.social trainees gave me an end of year gift in honour of the time I accidentally brought a block of cheese to work instead of my packed lunch!

Hmm. I may have overestimated my potential vegetable intake when I made my lunch this morning.

Worklife balance:
Topsy and I had a week away cycling in the Spanish hills.
710 km ridden and 12510 metres climbed.
Now all ready for the oncoming thesis viva examinations.

I’m off to Spain on a #cycling holiday. Tell me it’s just a coincidence that there’s an article in the Guardian today saying that the Spanish police aren't keen on old people sitting around outdoors and getting in people's way?

Er…?

Great afternoon of racing at Moredon Cycling Hub, courtesy of Cheltenham and County Cycling Club. Back to back Masters and then cat 3.4.Thanks to all who worked to set it all up. #cycling

Strong agree. Thanks to you and the team for arranging. Also zonked. But that might be because of the pub visit on the way home.

You know you’re in the countryside when…

There’s one of these in the supermarket car park.
