Drove the 600 mile, 11-hr journey from N London to Balmacara (NW Highlands) in the Polestar 2 EV (and back).
No "range anxiety" given ubiquitous charging infrastructure. 2 top-ups on route, no sweat.
Maybe it's more "change anxiety" for ICE drivers...
The future is electric

Announcement time: as you may know, for a few years my wife and I have been creating audio tours of destinations in Andalucía using a great app called VoiceMap.
It’s been going really well, so we’ve decided to branch out with a website for visitors to Andalucía. It’s called Andalucía Bound.

Finished my new "Rincon de Aventura y Naturaleza" - so now every time I walk in and out of my home office, I'm reminded of the best things in life: mountains, nature, trees, hiking, climbing... 🏔🌿✌️
It's giving me an immediate happiness boost 😁

Spent my birthday mountain guiding the eastern Mamores, with a wild camp finish on the ridge before the western Mamores tomorrow. A big day for these lads with 1890m ascent but they rose to the challenge. Scotland at its best today! 😎✌️💙

Best of luck to FK Bodø/Glimt tonight/next Thurs, what a football story it would be if this small Arctic circle town that has risen out of nowhere to dominate Norwegian football in recent years could reach a major European final. They are not to be underestimated!

Nearly a year on, still so sad about the tragical loss of Kevin Campbell, all-round great guy and legendary saviour of EFC during its darkest days. Gone far too soon. Nice tribute here from the BBC.

One man above all has kept this club from falling apart over the last decade of chaos.
Countless managers & players have come & gone while he defended us from oblivion.
He is truly the Spirit of the Blues.
Best of luck in your managerial debut tonight Séamus 💙💪🍀

So a brutally cold statement ends the Sean Isis era at #Everton.
Credit to his team for previous seasons work but on this season's numbers they can have no complaints. Badly found out & unable to adapt. The football has been dire & being 1pt above 18th gave TFG no real choice.

Tuve el gran placer de completar mi último de todos 23 de Los Dosmiles de la Sierra de #Guadarrama esta semana, con una senda nevada a La Maliciosa y vistas increíbles hacia #Madrid y #Segovia. Me ha encantado mucho explorar cada parte de estas "Montañas de Luz" en todas las temporadas.

Fantastic atmosphere for an epic contest tonight in Vallecas.
2-0 up and cruising but Madrid bring it back to 2-2 in the blink of an eye before HT. Then when they go 3-2 up it looks like there's no way back but...
"Este barrio nunca se rinde!"

Whatever the challenges facing post-Assad #Syria, this collective outpouring of relief, joy and hope (even if overshadowed by all that went before) in #Damascus and across Syria today is truly a beautiful human moment. Celebrating #freedom won after so long and at such great cost.
Large crowds of #Syrians gather in #Damascus to celebrate the #liberation of #Syria from Bashar al-#Assad 💚

Queuing for tickets for El Derbi de James Rodríguez on Saturday night.
Sure, the Bernabéu is an impressive urban spaceship. But Estadio de Vallecas is an essential old-school football throwback. Only way to get a ticket is to turn up in person 2 days before!

Short introduction to Israeli military doctrine:
1. Exploit any opportunity to extend territorial control outwith borders
2. Say these are limited, temporary security measures
3. Never let go
Seems the much feared terrorism in Syria already began before they could enjoy even 1 day of freedom.
