Many pulsars display irregularities in rotation rate of two main types: random fluctuations, known as timing noise, and discrete discontinuities in rotation rate, known as glitches. The author discribes a recent series of observations in which the relatively old pulsar PSR 0355+54 has been seen to suffer two glitches, the second of which is the largest observed in any pulsar and provides a valuable opportunity for the study of the recovery of the interior of a neutron star following such a large perturbation.
