Anyone heard of the Filton 18? No, me neither. How is this not news?

Late in the Season the Emmer Green perma-puddle is starting to take shape. Fortunately, S Oxon council put the work in over summer when they put in a flood sign.

My Hungarian less done + half my Welsh homework done for the week.

But my biggest compliment earlier was overhearing a French person tell another my French was good (I’m conversational not fluent). There is nothing ppl take so well as trying to speak their language; it’s a sign of good faith

Don’t watch TV so much. Back in the Noughties my PhD that never was, was about male bodies in Millennial apocalypse narratives. 2 y a I told a friend & they said I shd watch Stranger Things. Streamed & loved it. The anxiety at the heart of the STs apocalypse is about the bleeding of categories

What do the last 4 tracks on your playlist say about you…? (If anything)

Apple Music’s algorithm got me as proper moody but I’m not sure it’s picking up my eclecticism

Thinking about this but probs need to upgrade my lighting sitch; sun up at 5:45 on 28th Mar & I am not sure currently have the lighting solution for 7h 45 min cycling in the dark + time it takes me to get to the start (1h 30 to be on safe side)

Any suggestions that will not break the bank?

There are now twice as many bikes as cars on City of London streets during the day, and people cycling make up 56% of all road users during peak commuting hours. Motor traffic is down 5% since the last count, which continues its downward trend having fallen by a quarter in the five years since 2019.

Winter scenes

The dripping of trees and the squelchy slipping of leaves

So tired, I woke up at 12.30. Nearly didn’t get out as little time left but every turn of the cranks is a little further forward

It’s been a troubling sky reflected in standing water kind of day

This time of year and in the dark I can get so wrapped up in my thoughts that when I come to on some generic country road I literally have no idea where I am for a moment

Quite disconcerting

My moment in the Light for the day.

The attentional life. On my 4th set of headphones since Jul. Bought them y’day; lost them by today. So no music on the commute. Just quiet

The parakeets were screaming in Dunesden. It was like the opening scene of Donnie Darko. Minus Echo and the Bunnymen
