Great photos!

A few days in our favourite place in Scotland and the weather is glorious! Back on Arran

Getting into the Red Nose Day spirit!

@catbrom.bsky.social - we should consider something for this? 👇.

My first blog as Vice President for External Affairs at the @RoyalStatSoc - read my reflections on the first meeting of the new UK Statistics Assembly 👇

Great to be at the first meeting of the UK Statistics Assembly, jointly organised by the UK Statistics Authority and the @royalstatsoc.bsky.social. Big focus on how we get the best out of the UK’s official statistics. I’ll be facilitating a session on crime statistics this afternoon

Happy New Year from our house to your house!

Our annual poll! Our wreath filled with sprouts is in place. Is this a brilliant use for sprouts, or an absolute travesty? Vote now!

Our Lego Christmas village is taking shape

Looks like it’s just done on trust - quite a small restaurant within the airport so you can watch it coming to you. Your table number is on the front!

Too smiley to be a Dalek!!!

A first! A robot has just delivered my breakfast in Belfast airport!

Great day over in Belfast talking all things data in healthcare - thanks for inviting me to give one of the keynotes. And their Christmas tree appeared while we were there! Flight home cancelled so have an extra night in Belfast!!

It has to be done! A kilted unicorn would be the perfect mascot? Or a kilter haggis?!

Thanks Cathal - looking forward to it! Good to hear from you too. Hope all is well with you

Great appointment! I hope you will still be making mascots for the conference?

Congrats on your appointment to Council too!

Some RSS news! Delighted to be the new Vice President (External Affairs) for the next 2 years. Looking forward to working with all the great volunteers & staff across the @royalstatsoc.bsky.social. And nice to share a rogues gallery with @statsgeekclare.bsky.social and @stateecetics.bsky.social

Any Kylie fans out there?! Forgot I had ordered this beauty. Her new album on crystal clear vinyl! That’s today’s music taken care of!

Anyone for apple crumble? Went for a day trip to Melrose yesterday and stumbled in their annual apple festival. Who knew there were so many varieties? And a delicious take away crumble!

That gutted feeling when you finish a jigsaw and discover there’s a piece missing. This one was a work of art for Susan - really difficult but now complete, except for the pesky missing piece!

@joolsbell55.bsky.social welcome to the other side! Let’s keep the banter and nonsense going over here!

Any Doctor Who fans out there! Here’s my TARDIS shed - a day of cleaning it for the Autumn!

People seem to like the Lego photos. Here’s the Palace cinema, all lit up, complete with minifigures for the new Ioker movie!

Any Lego lovers out there? Forgot how good their modular buildings looked all lit up! Here’s Assembly Square and a city bus getting the light treatment!

Back home after a great week chairing this year’s @royalstatsoc.bsky.social conference in Brighton. Thanks for the conference board staff and delegates for putting on a great programme of talks, posters and social events. We had a record number of delegates! Some photos from the week

Hello!

You’re on a roll this week!

Thanks to @statsgeekclare.bsky.social for introducing me to Bluesky this week! Here we are at the Royal Statistical Society conference dinner last night - a brilliant week of all things data and statistics - and great to catch up with so many people
