Yesterday I went on the inaugural journey of new Thames Rockets boat Rebel Rocket, which is much larger than other Thames speedboats. Having never been on a Thames speedboat I loved the feeling of skimming across the water while all the sights flashed by. Opens to the public next weekend #PressTrip

Considering it was organised fairly last minute it's a good turnout at the @societyofauthors.bsky.social protest against Meta, who won't even come out and accept a letter outlining concerns #DoTheWriteThing

Heard an airline advert targeted at US listeners which basically suggested that, if they're flying to Europe, they may as well go that bit further to the UAE, with the notion that the UAE is much the same as Europe anyway.

The coast of the New Forest National Park has long been associated with war, from the 18th century warships built here from the surrounding forests, to the D-day staging points as seen here at Lepe Beach.

Passport biometrics can record iris scans, fingerprints, and other unique characteristics for definitive identification. But Trump’s administration is stuck on whether a passport is printed with M or F. Now transgender Americans are afraid to cross borders. www.frommers.com/trip-ideas/g...

It's been interesting having the Mammoth Mountain web cam on the home page (looks as though they're currently experiencing a white out at that top station), but it's time see the view from a different mountain

Sadly there's been no change in the cargo ship travel situation since I wrote this a year ago (most larger cargo ship operators still aren't responding to my enquiries) > aplantogo.com/2024/03/08/i... Maybe if an editor commissioned a fuller story I could use that weight to get some answers? #BGTW
