Hello, there, It’s summer holiday time in the northern hemisphere, and for the first time in a couple of years, I've actually been on holiday. We've been camping in a coastal valley with no WiFi and the merest sniff of 3G connection (if you climb
Good Lord, how did it get to be Thursday already? Somebody must have stolen a day somewhere along the line… Tikki, links on! (And if you understand that reference, you're probably also the parent of a primary school age child.) Watching Doctor Who can be embarrassing, and here&
I'm off to the (COVID-secure) dentist in a few moments, but you? You're going to procrastinate over those morning tasks by reading or listening to what's below, aren't you…? 😉 Explaining the difference between net-zero and carbon neutrality "is a challenge"

Welcome to my other Twitter account. Given that Revue, which I use to create this newsletter, is now a Twitter property, I suspect that a lot of moribund newsletters (like this one) might suddenly lurch into renewed life. We'll see. It'll also be interesting to see
