Having finished my paper for the Holocaust Expo a while ago, I’m treating myself to a day out. Hard to take trips round Kent and Sussex too seriously, which is about right, given (waves hands) all that’s going on.

Current heatwave expected to kill almost 600 people in England and Wales - analysis - The spike in deaths would not be occurring without human-caused global heating, scientists say, with the elderly most at risk #climatecrisis Story by me www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Lying on the bed in the rental near Brighton, all set for @ldml.bsky.social Expo next week Curtains drawn & windows now closed against the heat. Fortunate to be able to stay put and wait it out. Hoping the weather breaks as forecast. Way too old for this heat in the context of UK infrastructure

I suspect shortage of anaesthetists is also overworking those remaining As I lay in pre-op, wired for sound & anaesthesia, pleasantly drowsy from the first drugs but not yet under, my almost-slumber was rudely & 🤬 painfully interrupted by the anaesthetist tripping into the tubes fixed into my arm 😱

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Chatting to the BBC, as one does, about the Kitchener Camp rescue on the annual trip to Sandwich this week, where the camp was located. It’s the first time I’ve had a chance to return since 2019, and it was lots of fun. Thank you @theajruk.bsky.social for organising the trip and the BBC interview!

Well! That was a super fun meet-up in Sandwich arranged @theajruk.bsky.social for Kitchener families and interested parties. Glorious sunshine and a lovely crowd. With thanks to the Toll Bridge restaurant for excellent fish & chips, and @sandwichmuseum.bsky.social for the Leave to Land exhibition

IT’S TOO HOT! IN KENT! I’m a heritage mix of German-Polish borderlands and Sunderland. I was not built for this 🥵

Say goodbye to 1.5°C. But remember, the next target is 1.51°C and not 2°C. We need to keep fighting. Every tonne of CO₂ emitted makes the job of future CO₂ removal harder, and every 0.01°C of temperature increase makes the world more chaotic and dangerous.

Kitchener camp is a SIG @theajruk.bsky.social And they’ve organised us another lovely day out to commemorate the rescue from concentration camps of our fathers and grandfathers at Kitchener camp in 1939. Really looking forward to it! Below - the beach at Sandwich where the refugees went for R&R
