To my shame, although I lived in Exeter for a couple of years, yesterday, I went inside the cathedral for the first time. Normally, I prefer a little country church but this place is stunning - light, elegant, there is no way to convey just how lovely it is - essential to see in real life.

Nowadays, Tokyo sits in the "non-survivable" regime (for 6 hours outside) for long swarths of the summer. Each summer that I've lived in the city has become hotter and longer.
In 2021, I joined a co-working space because I couldn't keep my apartment cool enough to avoid migraines. That's privilege.

Most of my job doesn't involve staring at a computer, it involves talking to people and reading books, and both of those, in different ways, tell me that we will have big problems if *30 per cent of working people in the UK* lose their jobs in the next 15 to 18 months.
