Coniston House, 10am. Grinding and banging right beside homes that still have families living in them. EEH still hasn't rehoused everyone. How is this acceptable?

I’m enjoying this season and not just because Evan Peters in his rubber outfit.
A marketing shot from AHS13. Evan Peters as Tate Langdon sits in an armchair next to a fireplace in a cosy wood panelled room. He’s wearing a full body rubber suit with black leather boots and black rubber gloves. He’s not wearing the characters black rubber facemask, so we can see him looking pensively at the camera.

I had a nice stay at Hotel Barcelona Princess. It's in the Diagonal Mar area, which is a bit away from the old town, but it's on a decent metro line and near the beach. A really good views from the bar to Sagrada Família and the rooftop pool and sundeck was rather good.

Ouch. Might have been better to unscrew the cycle bollards before commencing work at Mile End Junction. Reversing heavy machinery over them risks damaging the bollards and their foundations. If they are left damaged, I hope TfL/LBTH sends Thames Water the bill for the repairs.

It’s more than two years since Eastend Homes’ disastrous attempt to build flats on our flats resulted in our homes being flooded. Our homes are still being ruined. We still haven’t an explanation for how this meets building regulations. It’s like nothing was learned from #RonanPoint or #Grenfell.

I should probably write something more long-form, but my experience cycling to Amsterdam was so much less stressful than I thought it’d be. Only sketchy bit was working out how to get between the station and the ferry with a bike in Harwich.

I think Greater Anglia trains have the easiest-to-use bike storage. Four bikes can be stored here, and there’s no struggling to get them to hang vertically in an awkward cupboard like on Hitachi trains.
