Lovely still afternoon on the river.

The Adur from the Adur Ferry Bridge.

What’s the role of experiential journalism in a world saturated with experiential social media?


Well, fibre to the premises certainly makes a difference…


Coastal blessings - the warmest it got yesterday was 33.5° in the back garden. Everywhere in the house stayed sub-30°.


Instagram is dead.

Or, at least, it’s no longer recognisable as a photography app.


The back garden’s hit 29℃, closing in on our predicted high of 31℃ today. Windows all shut and curtains drawn on the side of the house with the sun on it, and it’s pretty tolerable right now.


I’m not quite sure when and how it happened, but I’ve slowly become a mornings person. I was always a night owl, but getting up at 6.30am to have my daughter swimming by 7.30am increasingly feels like a pleasure, not a burden.


It’s been a long time since I walked over this bridge.


Winnersh Triangle Station is pretty small for a station right by a big office park. It’s barely more than a halt. There is a tiny ticket office and seating area, though.


Yesterday morning in Crewe and this morning in Winnersh.


Doing a lot of this over these few days of work…

Charging an electric car…

Finally done on a client report that’s been hanging over me for a while. Treating myself to a celebratory whisky before bed. 🥃


Lovely brunch prepared by my daughter!

Poached egg on bagel!

Fascinating seeing Shoreham Beach from the other side of the harbour entrance for once.



And… breathe.


OK. I admit it. This is absolutely my kind of feature:

“Memes can be thought of as a form of symbolic art. A meme isn’t usually about what’s being depicted, but about what the viewer feels when seeing it, or the connotations it arouses.”


This feature is going to have to work hard to convince me of its thesis…

(From the latest Standart Magazine.)

A feature entitled "the hipster barista dies not exist" from Standart magazine.

Sugar rush incoming.


Booked in to get fibre to the house, rather than just fibre to the cabinet, next month. Really looking forward to that — given the amount of video I routinely move around these days, it should make a significant improvement to our quality of digital life.
