Libby is keen to let me know it is 6pm and therefore dinnertime. It is 4:45 and she has been telling me this for the last 30 minutes. (that's her mid flight, she is meant to have a bad back leg)

This from @mjrobbins.bsky.social on the HS2 access track is utterly maddening, but reflects a key flaw in the planning system - councillors bear absolutely no personal cost for spurious decisions, even when they know they will lose on appeal and cost taxpayers huge amounts in the process

I've always been aware that European colleagues are somewhat baffled when (native) English speakers say terms such as 'open science' exclude hums and arts scholars, and this sort of thing probably helps explain the confusion

I've been collecting stats about solar input to the power grid in the UK for a few years. April 2025 had the highest contribution from solar for any month, amazing considering the days are longer in May/June/July. nostuff.org/envstats/sta...

SUVs increase the odds of killing in a collision. They're high at the front, your children get dragged under then crushed to death. They're also too big for parking spaces. They shld just be treated like vans, subject to lower speed limits, higher parking charges. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

& after confusing Lord Flashheart with Ace Rimmer, her friend Max posted 'Smoke me a kipper I'll be back for breakfast, RIP Rik Mayall' but accidentally did so 3 times, then went on the tube with no signal so when he realised his mistake he couldn't delete for ages, which turned into an office joke

Second race in six months cancelled at the last minute (was in Portsmouth in Oct for the great south run cancelled due to wind). Props to the organisers must have been a stressful 24 hours, and Hastings is fab with some fab pubs (I was carb loading)
