Amazing that a council development under a tight budget has won the Stirling Prize for #architecture. The article linked is very positive about it. Having seen this in real life though (but only from the outside), the shade of brown brick is a very dead colour and I wasn't given a very good […]

This was the best sunset I caught this autumn (on a day with a totally clear weather forecast, no less!). Above the town of Ophir, with Mt Wilson and the San Miguel Range beyond. See more photos from this autumn in the #SanJuanMountains, #Colorado here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/mons...

I have just seen a pair of (probably) #RingNeckedParakeets fly into the copper beech across the street, and then fly out again. Rapid flight, long narrow tail, showed green on the back as they flew away!

I don't doubt that there are areas of deprivation in H&F, but on average it is one of the more affluent parts of London. There are deprived areas of Coventry too! Also, let's take a moment to think about how unfair council tax is in the UK. It can be wildly different in different councils. For […]

It sounds drastic, and it means an increase from £1500 per year to £2500 per year for someone in Band D. So they are talking about 150% increase in the Hammersmith and Fulham council's part of the council tax (approx. £1000 is H&F and £500 is Greater London Authority). But in Coventry we are […]

Well you don’t see that everyday: Chinese plates in Amsterdam. The stickers declare they’re on a journey from Qingyang to Iceland #amsterdam

A van with a 甘M license plate from China, a lot of country flag stickers, and a message in Chinese about Iceland or bust. Also a sticker that says “pizza tour”. Are they traveling the world to sample pizzas? goals.

Two baby hedgehogs, also called hoglets, on a patio at night. One is eating dry cat food from a flan dish and the other is just walking past.

80 year-olds with pro-Palestine signs: arrested as terrorists. Greens planning to block a road, to highlight an existential crisis: sent down for years. Masked far-right thugs blocking roads and ports, using intimidation, obstruction & threatening behaviour: no arrests. The real two-tier policing.

Partial #eclipse shadows dancing through the wisteria onto a white plastered wall. In #Coventry , UK

A white plastered wall in an open porch is shown. The sunlight is coming through a wisteria plant that grows over the front and side of the porch and the gaps between leaf shadows are often small enough to act as pinholes and small crescent shapes of sunlight appear.

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

Listening to my generation talk about the 90s the way the previous generation talked about the 70s is tiresome. No that wasnt 'back when movies were good' or 'music still meant something'. There's loads of great shit coming out now and there was loads of slop back then. You just miss being young.

I think we should treat fossil fuels rather like the golems in #Discworld. Leave them in the ground but use them as collateral for borrowing to fund sustainable energy, restoring nature, education, healthcare, housebuilding etc.
