I've decided that I really like my daughter's boyfriend, who she recently moved in with. He's a lovely lad from California. So polite. He gives hugs for which James and I are not the best recipients, but he's a calm and thoughtful person, so we accept them.

It’s so nice cycling to work on a Sunday when the roads are mostly clear. Only 3 drivers passed me on my 25 minute commute today. Sadly, 2 of those were close passes…

I have told this story before, but bringing it here. This street has footway parking on both sides which gives 1 metre of walking space beyond the lines. But, if drivers obey the markings, you can't get a car up the middle. Because residents kept getting tickets, I was asked to look at it. 1/n

Shocking & shameful from Trump. Is there not a single journalist in the White House with the courage to step up and point out Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator?

I feel like crap today. It’s my day off and I was meant to be revising. Random intermittent ear pain all day with a weirdly sensitive scalp. I usually spend all day thinking about food, but I had to tell myself to eat. This is a bit of a low for me!

Look, I promise you that if you see a cyclist not using a cycle lane, they aren't doing it to piss you off. They're doing it because that's a necessary thing to do to get to where they're going.

“Today, the US launched a trade war against Canada - their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin - a lying murderous dictator. Make that makes sense” Justin Trudeau Prime Minister of Canada

Trudeau: "We're probably gonna keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans: we're not booing you ... we're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. And we're insulted ... we're gonna fight. And we're gonna win."

Dammit. Someone nicked our cute lil yellow Yoonit. A mini cargo bike. Share around, and keep an eye out around Edinburgh. Shout at @cargobikemovement.bsky.social if you see it. Let's make this thing too hot to handle. Bike theft is the worst. Bike theft from a CHARITY is something else 😤

I love cycling but I'm aware that it could result in my violent death or getting seriously injured. Not because cycling is dangerous but because we prioritise the convenience of car drivers over the safety of everyone else. I wish it wasn't like this.

Basically everh developed country on earth has a very similar map. We produce 8,000 calories per person, per day, and feed most of it to cows. Basically, we've decided high meat diets are more important than feeding everyone.

No that's OK. There's only 28 of us waiting to cross, you cars go first. We'll wait over three minutes for the lights to change and then rush across in the 5 seconds we're allowed.
