Just over three years ago, I flew back from Hamburg, little suspecting that it would be so long until I flew again.
A week ago, I finally got on an aircraft to head to… Hamburg. Here’s some images from my return to international travel.
All the evidence – with more reported this morning - is that hydrogen won’t be a good path to decarbonising heating and travel.
Yet, people keep pushing it. Why? So they didn’t have to change too much.
My transition to an EV was pretty painless. Be brave!
The crazy battery life of Apple Silicon Macs and iPads really makes days of live event coverage in a theatre with a distinct paucity of power sockets so much easier…
Quick Review: Coasting
Finished reading: Coasting by ELISE. DOWNING 📚
I enjoyed this more than I expected. On the surface, it’s a book about a woman running around the coast of Britain. Deeper down, it’s about somebody suffering badly from self-doubt and low self-esteem slowly coming to see herself as others see her - in a good way.
It’s slightly tricky to get into, because she paints such a negative portrayal of herself at the beginning that you’re not sure that spending hours in her company will be fun. But push on through that, and it’s a good read.
The problem with studying and lecturing around online communities is that you don’t only get to look at the nice ones.
I have learnt some stuff this morning that I wish I could unlearn…

On the road again
25 years ago, I worked near Oxford Street in London. One lunchtime, I popped into the HMV store there, and picked up a double cassette boxed set called Top Gear: On The Road Again. I wasn’t a Top Gear watcher then, as I’m not now. But it looked like a good album for killing the hours I was due to drive that weekend.
That album of Dad Rock became a driving staple for me for years, until somewhere along the line, I lost it. It’s never been made available via digital download or streaming as far as I can tell, so I thought that was it. Gone.
Of late, I’ve been enjoying driving again, thanks to my new-ish EV. And I got really nostalgic for that old compilation album. So, with a bit of research, and work in Apple Music, I have it back as a playlist:
Dad Rock driving ahoy!
Back in my favourite sneaky reading spot, after the summer break. Daughter learning piano, I’m on the beach drinking coffee and reading Coasting by Elise Downing. 📚
