If night driving on the M1 in thick fog teaches us anything, it's that a worrying number of people don't know where their fog lights switch is.

I know someone who is a teacher in a NY school. She says that some of the undocumented kids have 'disappeared' and she's not sure if they have been withdrawn by parents or taken by authorities :(

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”
As ICE Street Raids Ramp Up, New Yorkers Stock Up On Whistles
Taking a cue from Chicago, community groups have distributed thousands of whistles in recent weeks — a grassroots system people in other cities have adopted to help neighbors sound the alarm.

Howard Jones was 70 in February and still goes at it harder than all of the top 40 put together. If you have tickets for his tour, get prepared because trust me, you're not. Wear sequins. Take sunglasses. The encore alone is worth the ticket price. A full Forum in Bath just had one hell of a night.

Booking cinema tickets online. Why does the automated system believe that in a room of 200 seats with about 10 people already booked and paid that you want to sit next to them? 190 empty seats and you think I'd like to sit next to someone? No.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

I live on an island. The bridge is presently closed due to an accident involving a bus, I'm mainland side. Apparently there is a whole funeral cortege stuck on the other side of the bridge further down trying to get off 😞.

I'm in what I think may be my new new favourite cafe this morning. Temper Trap and Art of Noise sit surprisingly well alongside Abba and Busted (yes, really) on the playlist, the coffee is excellent and the vibes are.

Brutal session with a kind but very firm physio this morning. Blessed to not have any work today and to have been able to go back to bed.
