Key places are Wetherspoons (which is cheap and quiet during the day) and Cafe Nero (who don't do booze and whose coffee is good)

I went and got the book on the strength of this piece - no regrets. Discovering the fictional musician and music that thread their way through the novel exist on streaming platforms have made my weekend. Almost worth being sick in bed for! Or is it just a feverish dream…
I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

Today at work I wrote an email, standing by a hedgerow with a robin scolding me. I walked to a meeting with the Finance Dept through a picturesque village in the autumn sunshine. Not a bad day at the office 🌳🍁🍂

I believe that someday, someone is going to make the "British Museum repatriation heist simulator" I'm longing for (and I can't wait for the Vatican and Berlin State Museums DLCs either)

Saw this today on the Octopus homepage:
Great Britain wastes £180,000 every hour switching off wind turbines and overpaying gas generators to switch on. That's £851,684,504 so far this year! wastedwind.energy
Wasted Wind

Exxon marketed this Louisiana carbon capture project as a climate solution. Now, it will use captured CO2 to drill for more oil.

The announcement came days after Trump expanded public subsidies for enhanced oil recovery through carbon capture. www.exxonknews.org/p/exxons-new...
