Another week, another mountain. Off to Chamonix for a few days of expedition training. A really nice and slightly unexpected bonus to having a motorbike is free parking at Heathrow right next to each of the terminal buildings.

I surrender. The heating is officially on.

Thank you! So many games I’ve missed out on

Ooh, thank you. Sounds like my lad and I will enjoy that one together

Hello, gaming friends. I’m buying a PS5 in order to be able to play GTA6 next month, having always previously been an Xbox 360 / Xbox One boy. What are some other really good PS games that I should get? I’ve sort of got my eye on Death Stranding.

Anyone would be happy with tha. I’m also delighted to learn that the three in Poole were his first.

My nostalgia kicked in when I remembered having that same feeling (probably about the same age). Fascinating backstory too. Thank you.

If you grew up in Dorset you’ll remember the wooden animals at the Dolphin Centre. We found the turtle and the whale in the Lighthouse centre today. Smaller than I could have imagined. Not sure I’d be able to slide through the whale these days. The hippo is on display at the Poole Museum apparently.

A lovely family walk along Hurst Spit today

Ouch! Thats not even a medium sized toblerone. My 14 hour delay at Nairobi this week got a lot better when they (finally) caved in and agreed that free access to the business lounge would be fair. Hope you get home soon.

I spent the day volunteering with Lymington SailAbility today, helping get disabled people out onto the water safely ⛵️♿️

This week I finished my year at NHS England as a product lead looking at non-hospital and GP appointments into the NHS App. Trying to keep here free from job sharking etc, so if you think you could be interested working with me I've posted over on LinkedIn. 🙇🏻‍♂️ www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

I finished at NHS England this week, so I am now available for new work. For the last year I have been product lead for a team working out how appointments beyond hospital care and GP appointments… |...

Finally checked into the 22:55 only to learn it’s now delayed until at least 00:10. It’s been a long day.

Utterly weird behaviour. I can only assume that she’s either deeply insecure in her own identity, or so racist that it makes her appear unserious and weird.

My 08:55 flight from Nairobi to Heathrow will now happen either today at 22:55 (!) or tomorrow at 09:05 (!!). As a side effect, I’m learning quite a lot about Kenya Airways service design, which leaves quite a lot to be desired.

Tanzania ✈️ Nairobi ✈️ Heathrow (This might take a while, as the flight to Nairobi has already been delayed, which means it will now arrive after the flight to London leaves. I predict a fair bit of waiting around today!)

I see Tom Watson is joining Palantir UK as a Senior Vice President. Huh.

It’s a 12A but I certainly don’t see many youngfolk at the cinema.

Saw ‘Pressure’ today. Andrew Scott (and everyone else in it) is great.

Roo Reynolds @rooreynolds.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Mate. The spring conference being a total shit show was least 50% down to the shenanigans with one group trying to get this motion discussed and another group trying to stop them. Painful.

Roo Reynolds @rooreynolds.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Agreed! So.. what happens about it then?

A fun day out with Lymington SailAbility today. 🏍️🚤

I loved this little hand-written sign on the pinboard of a Dorset pub: no AI posters please. I think the novelty has thoroughly worn off and many people (including my 12 year old son!) are not only sick of AI slop but really wary of the aesthetic.

Dude will fail a google interview if he can’t reason about piano tuners

We never really talked about politics

Roo Reynolds @rooreynolds.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

My other mentee, Anna, is lovely by the way. She worked for 22 years at IBM and is now a product manager working in Southampton for an aviation analytics company. As far as I’m aware she didn’t break any laws and isn’t the biggest donor to any political organisation.

Roo Reynolds @rooreynolds.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Sheesh. Sorry everyone. Safe to say that we haven’t talked for quite a few years, for complicated reasons.

Roo Reynolds @rooreynolds.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

One of those grads went on to have quite the interesting career. He left IBM to become a quant at a hedge fund, developed trading systems, co-founded BitMEX, became Britain’s youngest billionaire, was charged with money laundering, got pardoned by Trump and has (so far) given approx. £44M to Reform.

Roo Reynolds @rooreynolds.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

When I worked at IBM back in my 20s, I joined the mentoring scheme and was assigned a couple of grads to mentor. I’d take them for fortnightly walks around the grounds of IBM Hursley and I’d attempt to ask them coaching questions to unblock whatever they might have been struggling with that week.

Fun fact: before he became Reform’s biggest donor, I used to be Ben Delo’s mentor.

Heading to my third Pilates class of the week. I’d never done it before this week. I’m hooked.

I hate the way supporting the RNLI becomes a culture war issue every so often, but here we are. Saving lives at sea (regardless of where they are from!) seems important and valuable to me. rnli.org/support-us/g...

I wasn’t really expecting much from the new Grand Tour series but it’s rather good!

Roo Reynolds @rooreynolds.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Didn’t take long for a proper copper-bottomed scandal to arrive. Absolutely hilarious that Reform are trying to claim they were “legitimate donations” but also “a clear case of entrapment” and a “a hoax perpetuated by foreign-funded, climate change activists” and a “massive sting operation”.

The Reform party conference must be quite entertaining today 🍿
