Meanwhile, downunder it looks like the climate deniers are holding on to power.
Just spoke to my brother, who is a civil servant. He's reconsidering his position, as he doesn't want enable their policies, which he is afraid of what they might be like, now they have a mandate. I said it's not like you're running a concentration camp, and he said "We deploy software that keeps Manus Island operating"

We live in dark times.

Mcdonalds Chocolate Milkshake contains for some reason 13% of your RDI of salt 🤪

They put sugar in the buns, so I guess this makes sense.

(I was trying to work out if throwing one was the healthiest way of consuming it)

It’s ‘Cousins Weekend’ this weekend. We shall be spending the BH weekend surrounded by his extended family, at a campsite just outside Banbury (the Clifton Duke).

We’re spared the Friday night, as Jon is on call - but he wants to head over first thing on Saturday. I’ve decided to take a bike with me (probably the new electric one, which has yet to be named) so that I can escape...


The good news is that the Blenheim Palace Food Festival is on this weekend.

He's at a coil winding exhibition, and you are interested in where he is staying? Surely no one sleeps at a coil winding exhibition.

You're weird ;D

Day two of the exhibition, my directors went home last night so it's just me and the production manager now which will be more relaxed. Should be back in Luton at teatime, I will be returning to Berlin though, I really do like the place.

It’s a favourite city of mine as well. Perhaps we should arrange a CyclingRelated Berlin foray?
