New Precious Cargo essay.
It’s about cycling while getting slapped by the wind, falling over at 6km/hr, and realising my son is having the time of his life while I question all my choices.

I’ve started writing about my cycling adventures with my son. It’s a blog/journal with essays on movement, writing, and the art of keeping upright, called “Precious Cargo: A dad and his cargo bike trying to keep their balance”.
And here’s the first post.

A few months ago, in order to stay in touch with academic research while I found my footing, I started helping former colleagues and some students with small research and editing tasks. These side projects reminded me how much I enjoy dealing with complex ideas.

One last Hafrsfjord sunset before our big move to the UK tomorrow morning. Thanks to everyone at @greenhouseuis.net for being so supportive over the past 2 years.

After yesterday’s chaos of Barnehage pickup and drop, and packing and shipping boxes for our big move back to the UK, there’s nothing better than spending a quiet morning in the new @unistavanger.bsky.social cafe to gather my thoughts and energy.

Got some really in-depth feedback on my book proposal and introduction for “Weathering Colonial Calcutta” at the @greenhouseuis.net WiP session this afternoon. Time to rewrite and think about pitching this to publishers.

Going through some notes to write the introduction to my book, and I’m shocked “Weathering Colonial Calcutta” wasn’t my first choice of title for the project. I’m glad it’s what I eventually ended up with. #weathering #envhum #envhist
