Hang on, so this is … Wednesday night. Right? Right. Tomorrow is already happening in Sydney, but it’s dark and I’m tired so I guess that means I’m in the right time zone.
Tomorrow, which here must be Thursday, I go to London. Then on Friday I nip back up to Cambridge to give a seminar at the MRC-LMB (14:15, level 5 seminar room if you’re around), and then back in time for the blogger’s dinner. Saturday is the conference, and then at some point I’m going down to Southampton for … something else.
A workshop on Open Science. Yes.
I fly back to Sydney a week tomorrow, with a suitcase full of Dairy Milk and Daddies sauce. Anthropogenic climate change? Hah. Let’s terraform Mars and be done with it.
Dairy Milk? From UK to Australia? Really?
hmm, if it is proper milk my guess would be that the “agricultural customs” might be on the lookout. You know, I’m sure there are some Mad cow disease that can spread through milk from UK ;) even if the Jersey cows do give absolutely top notch milk!
have fun in Cambridge.
Sorry, I meant Cadbury’s Dairy Milk. Chocolate.
The stuff they have in Australia has something added to improve the keeping qualities, and it’s foul.
PS “Absolutely top notch”?
Are you practising for coming over to the UK again?
ahh.. chocolate… now I see. I’m not really fond of hershey’s and other American chocolate either (too sweet) so the European chocolate is a vice.
Practicing… do I really need that? ;) [nope, I think I’ll stay here for awhile. got a few more interesting things to look at… bacteria…]
That’s one sexy backside…the Airbus, I mean.
Canadian Cadburys is similarly adulterated. However I find it edible, and so fill my suitcase and carry-on bag with Galaxy chocolate and Walkers smoky bacon and/or sweet chilli flavour crisps whenever I come back to Vancouver. If you ever see someone standing in an airport shop and trying to work out the optimum ratio of remaining British money:crisps:Galaxy bars, then it’s probably me.
Bleh, can’t stand Galaxy. I must admit I’ve developed a taste for really dark chocolate. Immediate fix with little in the way of cow to dilute it. Added advantage is that no one nicks it. Except… the Younger Pawn has decided she likes it too. Bah.
Off to the station in a couple of hours. I think someone’s meeting me in London.
Glad to hear you have arrived safely! Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow. I know Henry Gee has his crocs ready to greet you. I know because I saw them – and they are glorious.
Ah, the glamor of international travel! Hope you are feeling spritely for your panel on saturday. Lisa is all set up for the audio and I hope to see lots of flickr pix, twitter tweets and the odd blog post – all tagged ‘sciblog’ as per the directive: http://network.nature.com/forums/sciblog2008/2088
Say gday to cameron neylon for me – never met him but he keeps turning up online – everywhere:

Have fun

Things have changed since I’ve been away—
“Hi, I’m on the train”
Howdy Fang. Lisa had audio set up already? Awesome!! I don’t have a laptop anymore so if I’m to tweet etc. during my travels, I’ll need to politely ask if I ban borrow someone elses.
Cath> ahh.. the bacon flavour; here we have the real deal with the smoked pork inds! :) (nope, I don’t eat them just wanted to share)
Richard> hope you can sleep and not be completely overturned by the jet lag. I have absolutely no idea how confused you would be but I’m guessing there are enough hours and days difference that you would be happy if someone said it’s Sundag morning?!?
