Hello.
I’m a short, hairy software developer, who does acting and takes pictures.
I’m one of those people who really quite likes London.
I like other places too.
Here are a few photographs, mostly from my Capital Ring walk this summer.

Was just remembering this wonderful poster from London Underground 100 years ago when I spotted Matt Brown's excellent post on it. Do delve in. Fascinating! open.substack.com/pub/londonis...

Venezuela has oil.
Greenland has rare Earth minerals.
Luckily Iceland has only volcanoes, glaciers, and very average cricketers.

I’ve just had the last of the Christmas Pudding.
I bloody *love* Christmas Pudding - if you had to take all of the other Christmas food away, I’d be OK, but I’d cling on to the Christmas Pudding. I am sad that it’s falling out of fashion. 1/2

A few years ago my former TV themes band did a Christmas album and advent calendar, but we didn’t have enough Christmassy TV themes, so we had to fill it up with original compositions and this one from Paul was by far the best. We’ve been singing it all week.

"Hello. My name is Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor. You killed my mother. Prepare to die."
Last Saturday, I walked from Hammersmith to Canary Wharf, along the River Thames - probably the longest I've walked in one go.
These are just snaps from my phone - things that caught my attention.
I like walking, I like looking, and I love London

How did you know, it’s just what I’ve *always* wanted - a discount on a flexible coworker workspace with shared office facilities.
(I do like my new office, I have to say - It’s just not something I think I, or anyone I know, would consider a festive gift!)

"The idea of deporting people with settled status is disgusting, and anyone proposing it should be immediately drummed out of polite society. Breaking promises made in good faith to our friends and neighbours is racist, extremist and immoral."
I'm basically shouting at the sky here, but still.

It’s racist, it’s extremist and it’s immoral
The right is still calling for deportations, and the government is still being cowardly about it. Also: London’s first green belt; some notes on a shark; and some news, on my next book.
