Tower Bridge in London on a rainy night.

London very on brand this morning.

Off to London for work. The last commute of the year!

The inside of a Thameslink train carriage.

It’s “update all the Apple things” evening!

iOS/iPadOS 16.2 and macOS 13.1 are out, along with accompanying HomePod and AppleTV updates.


Blimey. Musk has disbanded Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council.

He’s not even pretending to listen to others now.


Euan Semple on the importance of doing fuck all:

“We feel driven to achieve more, to influence more, to build more, to buy more. And all of this busyness, all of this doing, is overheating us as individuals, society and even the planet.”


Potential album cover.

Two girls and some hay bales.

This is a nice one:

A santa on a SUP approaches santas in a boat.

A quick video of the Shoreham-by-Sea Santa SUP this morning:


More SUPping Santas!

Oh, that is dangerously tempting.

A sign iffering a shot of whisky in your drink for £3.

What’s SUP, Santa?

Many santas on paddle boards.

Bottomed out at -2.5°C last night. Pretty cold for these parts.


Artificial grass is evil:

“Fake turf is the manifestation of a deep cultural weakness, expressed in short-termism and a distaste and disrespect for the wonder, variety, and temporality of the natural world. Artificial lawns are the “Live, Laugh, Lobotomy” of gardening.”

Ban it.

Cold enough that I’ve actually put on my rarely-used woolly hat for the commute this morning.

Adam on a train, wearing a woolly hat.

My beloved Canon M50 is back from the camera doctor and working once more:

And here’s one of my test shots, just to prove it’s working again.

Looking up the Adur from Emerald Quay

Happy days.
