Artist Hiro Yamagata made 27 "art cars" and I got to see one today and it was glorious!

I have a supremely lazy hound who is not fussed in any way by the fireworks but my thoughts go out to anyone with an anxious puppo tonight

The Dirt Monkey is finally retiring. I bought this bike almost 20 years ago for not very much money, immediately after my undergrad. It cycled me around Oxford during my DPhil and post-doc, it came home during the pandemic and has lived here since. I'm SO attached to it, but it's time...
