Recovering lawyer helping others simplify their legals. Loves to speak, happy to MC, written 5 books. Created 500-word contracts to demonstrate what's possible. Wish I could cycle to events and solve climate change from the back of a tandem.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%.

E-bikes support fewer car trips.

E-Bikers Ride Much Farther and More Frequently Than Regular Bikers
They are not 'cheating,' but are serious transportation.

So many poor attempts to disguise the boasting followed by the shame-filled hangover when they realise what they've done. This is a solved problem. Billablehour.org has made available a humblebrag licence. /5

This is the judgment on the PPE/Medpro claim.

A cracking £122m win for the Government Legal Service

And is wonderful to see the government bringing a claim in contract against a shoddy supplier.

This does not happen often, and it should happen far more.

A teacher rang last week, offering support for my son who is struggling to attend

No-one asked him
He just realised my son was absent & wanted to help

My son already thought he was the best teacher

Just one teacher, who cares + one topic he's interested in *might* turn around school refusal

Asters or Michaelmas daisies provide vibrant, colourful blooms well into autumn and are a vital source of nectar for bees and butterflies at this time of year. Named after the Christian feast of St. Michael (Michaelmas), celebrated on 29 September, look out for them flowering near you.

Not sea glass but fragments of plastic car tail lights, indicators and brake lights, probably washed into storm drains after heavy rain, eventually making their way to the sea. #oceanplastic
