I do enjoy a bit of recursion.
Today I was at the Bo’ness Hippodrome, a building with a good claim to be Scotland’s oldest known purpose built cinema. Every time I give a talk there I get a photo of the same slide of the previous talk on screen. So this is now me presenting the Hippodrome on screen at the Hippodrome on screen at the Hippodrome on screen at the Hippodrome.

Very excited to report my copy of #shifthappens has made it to Scotland in pristine condition - looks gorgeous. Can’t wait to get stuck into it @mwichary @glennf
Plus, it’s only thanks to the Gorton Perfected sampler I realised the signage souvenirs I took from my academic career when I left nearly 15 years ago are actually engraved Gorton! Always something new to learn 😀
