    Feeling empty this morning. 😞

    We are undertaking work to REPAIR THE ELECTRICITY ⚡⚡⚡

    Attended a lovely events production manager&amp;#39;s barbecue on a rooftop near Kings Cross this evening. The diversity was as wide as you might expect: nearly all of us were white, middle aged men with varying degrees of signs of enjoying a job with lots of travelling, long hours and fixed deadlines. 🫣

    I&amp;#39;ve just heard the phrase &amp;quot;This is so jokes bro&amp;quot; stated by one of the lighting team and I now feel someone&amp;#39;s grandad.

    This was fascinating #emfcamp I stayed to watch as dementia, Alzheimer&#39;s and ageing scare me far more than dropping dead tomorrow. https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2026/94-the-astronaut-protocol

    The lease on my Polestar is up soon and I&amp;#39;m back in the extremely dull process of finding something to replace it knowing that it does the job fine and it&amp;#39;s only really when I&amp;#39;m in Suffolk that I need a car. My sure bet of the BYD Seal was lovely to drive, but like the Model 3 it&amp;#39;s a saloon pretending to be a hatchback and therefore impractical. Looks like I&amp;#39;m going to end up with an small SUV or old model Cupra Born.

    Is there a direct correlation between the value of a man&amp;#39;s shirt and the amount of elbow space he feels entitled to on the train? Maybe pay less for your clothes and spend it on a first class ticket? Underwriting doesn&amp;#39;t look like a low income career.

    I&amp;#39;m still baffled by these new roadsigns that have gone up in Newbury. Pass both sides of what? On pedestrianised streets. I think someone ordered the wrong signs. #Newbury #roadsigns #urbanplanning

    RE: https://mastox.eu/@ZackPolanski/116295661112883630 How do blocks of 50+ apartments work if not buy leasehold. Who owns the building they&amp;#39;re all in? Managing a building of only 12 flats was hard enough when we had to collect ground rent from and agree maintenance budgets / payments with frequently changing neighbours and absent landlords.

    The highlight of my job is I get to work with mad geniuses like @solexious and Dave Cranmer. I can&amp;#39;t show what they&amp;#39;re building for the current project, but here&amp;#39;s one of Dave&amp;#39;s previous creations. https://nervoussquirrel.com/ghost_train.html

    It&amp;#39;s good of Discover Suffolk to provide a bird toilet / phone holder at Landguard

    I love the art of unemotional, facts based journalism. 🙄 https://electrek.co/2026/03/31/energy-dept-extends-order-to-keep-dead-colo-coal-plant-online-costing-millions/

    There&amp;#39;s a lot of chat about extremely small bananas on this job. I&amp;#39;ve also discovered there&amp;#39;s a specific SFW subreddit for this topic.

    RE: https://wandering.shop/@susankayequinn/116126600457999498 This is a much better thing to do than the UKs equivalent of trashing low emission zone enforcement cameras.

    My mum is on a cruise from the UK around the coast of South America and has visited the Falkland Islands today having already been to Montevideo. Both places I&amp;#39;d love to visit. Am very envious. 70% of my job could quite happily be done whilst moving around the world on a boat, assuming a reasonable Internet connection.

    I love these a lot. Repurposed vending machines that sell products from local artists. https://supafantastic.com/vending/ #vending #vendingmachines #art #creators

    Sitting in Dublin watching flightcases and scenery get loaded onto trucks and I for one are extremely grateful for the Google search clarification about these trucks not being related to long running radio soap The Archers

    About to test drive a Model Y. I like the look of the outside, but need to get over the brand association. The new Standard edition without the light bar and pointless rear seat screens looks like a good deal. There are some excellent deals on the generally unloved but excellent Ioniq 6 and the Megane are both on my list for when the Polestar lease is up.
