Amy gave me this quite randomly last year after meeting Ronnie Le Drew (I think) in Merthyr. Now on my wall in Little Scotland. #RIPRonnieLeDrew #Zippy

Consultant Clinical Scientist and honorary professor in virology mostly for a public health body in a country north of England. Has cats and an overgrown garden. Vaccines work and Brexit still sucks.
I quite like this having the winning team in the World Cup work sweepstake. Although I did give Spain to Bess after Henry got Portugal. That’s a lot of dreamies she’s going to buy with her winnings.
1990 #totp I became an 18 year old mum in June that year. I hoped for some great new music to see me through the sleepless nights but was largely failed. Is it too late to claim compensation?
If this didn’t involve a significant sum of taxpayers money, it would be even more hilarious if this was how it played out. Bjnface v Fartage

Just did some height checking, I already know I am the same height as Kylie, so looked up Sonia’s height and according to Wikipedia she’s taller than Kylie. Therefore also taller than me. I am surprised at that. #totp
Bloody hell, it’s hot. #understatement #climatechange
@socialinfluenza.bsky.social thanks for the great hosting @cvrinfo.bsky.social also, @bealelab.bsky.social says hi 😂😂
In the past few weeks Henry Plantagenet cat took a job with me and has taken it very seriously, he now has to be referred to as Public Health Cat Henry. Here’s some snapshots of him in action protecting the health of Scotland #PublicHealthCatHenry
I’m four months into my job move from Public Health Wales to Public Health Scotland. It’s been quite eventful in the world of virology, to me highlighting how much we do need specialist virologists. Confess to really missing the lab #PublicHealthVirologist #onwards
When compared to my recent big job move, renewing my passport seems very minor. It’s not minor, I’ll be exchanging my EU Burgundy freedom of movement etc etc passport, for one of those blue/black UK only passports. (I’ve put it off for so long I won’t get it back in time for ESCMID) #BrexitSucks
I’ve started working in Scotland during interesting times. Too cold? Not with climate breakdown and the relentless march of vectors and virus northwards.

Tonight I went to see Nigel Kennedy (not featuring Ken and Eddy Kennedy as Stu was hoping). I learnt two things; 1. I still don’t like jazz. 2. If you play Danny Boy and you’re not drunk enough for full vocals you get an audience hum along instead. That makes for quite the surreal experience.
Tonight I went to see #projectHailMary almost perfect but the centrifuge scene is now burnt into my retinas. Edit out 5 seconds and all lab scientists will be able to sleep much better afterwards. #BalanceandCalm #greatfilm
Oh dear, I had hoped the ruff would bring out the royal and regal rather than the confused clown persona of Henry Plantagenet. #CatsofBlueSky #Caturday
I don’t remember 1999 being this dull. I do remember not liking Stereophonics (sorry Wales, they’re shite) #TOTP
If the news is becoming increasingly anxiety inducing for you, here’s a (terrible) picture of a bumble bee resting inside a daffodil. #Spring
I’m on my way back from Edinburgh after a quick trip to examine a PhD. Stu in the meantime has made a fort for the cats. He sent me a picture of Bess making it home (yes the wicker thing is an unused cat bed). #CatsofBlueSky
Because somehow she’s naked without her ruff and bells, Bess could have snuck in without me seeing her. However, she’s a sass and demands attention through the medium of meow and sitting on my work. #CatsinPublicHealth #FindtheRuff #CatsofBlueSky
After a busy day helping to look after the people of Scotland, Henry Plantagenet takes a moment for self care. Be like Henry, look after your wellbeing #CatsinPublicHealth #CatsofBlueSky
In today’s edition of #CatsinPublicHealth #CatsofBlueSky Elizabeth Tudor demandied a fuss be made of her through the medium of loud meows, this fuss of course had to be accompanied by her favourite song #BessieBooDoingtheDo
In today’s edition of #CatsinPublicHealth #CatsofBlueSky Henry Plantagenet had a noisy bath during a morning teams meeting. Then Elizabeth Tudor (Bess) demanded snacks via the medium of loud meows during an afternoon teams meeting.
Henry Plantagenet, Public Heaith Scotland’s newest employee demands snacks. #CatsofBlueSky #CatsinPublicHealth

Henry Plantagenet now fully recovered after being unwell over Christmas, gets a new clean ruff. #CatsofBluesky
