‘Twas a coldish day in May, 2017, and I was staying for a few days in Irkutsk, Siberia, Russia, Northern Hemisphere, Earth, Milky Way Galaxy. When I say cold, I mean around 10 degrees, maybe a couple more, maybe a couple less. It’s hard to say, because in Russia, every day is cold, right? Of …

So today I’d like to talk a little bit about the climate in Australia for the visitor.

The Official Soviet death toll from the disaster was and …
So, last week I went to see Brian Cox at the Plenary in Melbourne. My wife had asked to go and see him late last year when he was next out, and so tickets were bought (Cox himself made a joke at the price of the tickets) and then late June 2019 the day had …
