It’s officially not-warm: my cat is snoozing on me. This is the first time she’s done this since these endless warm days started. Pic of her taken earlier in the week where she has taken the other half of my bed.

With the price of fuel going up by the week, change lanes to avoid the impact. Bus tickets are capped at £20 a week. Walking and cycling short trips is free. Fewer short car trips also means less congestion, more reliable public transport, safer and better roads, cleaner air, and healthier people.
Title: Change lane to escape the global energy crisis.

Car - £108 per week and rising fast. (Source: Average weekly cost of car ownership (IPPR, 2025)).

Bus - £20 per week (Contactless card weekly cap for National Express West Midlands).

Walking and cycling - Free.

Fewer short car trips also leads to less congestion, more reliable public transport, quicker journey times for all.

In Australia, when a tree is illegally cut down, the local government area or council will put up a giant billboard as an eyesore in its place that says “A tree has been vandalized”. That ensures that no one can benefit from removing a tree to improve their view! Sign stays until vegetation regrows.

to the man in the NHS car who saw me running along the pavement and drove deliberately slowly in the middle of the road so I could get to the bus stop before the bus did: I hope today that your coffee is hot, your lunch is delicious and your meetings are short and productive 💫
