Very nice work trip to Copenhagen this week. Lovely city nice people. Bikes and EVs.

Here is a nice thing.

Outside my garden gate there has, of late, arrived a little selfservice stall. It has power, lights, wifi and a webcam. Local kids, saving for Uni, selling handmade velvet bags. Fully self service, cash in a box or Qr codes to pay.

Charming. I wish them great success.

Travelling to Manchester by train today, leaving from teeny tiny North Camp station. Arrived early, time to spare. So… coffee? cafe? cake? Nope. However the tiny ticket office has book swap free library and staff made me a free coffee while I was waiting. Outstanding start. Well played GWR.

Today: Blown away by the secret walkway in Heathrow T5. How lovely.

BEA? That’s unusual. Strong 1970s vibe.

Picking up a TurGoosEn from the local butcher. Queuing with mulled wine at 10am.
A little perturbed to see shotgun cartridges in the Christmas wreath. Is this normal?

Nice to be back in Lausanne.

Saturday night was … unusual. One for the 70s prog rock geeks out there. A tribute band, but a tribute to who? Clues are there in the picture. #

Exhausted at the end of a long long day. In a hotel. Trying to perk myself up by posting a gratuitous picture of the irrepressible AitchiPup. … yup, that helps.

Good to see #DEX called out as a focus for all IT leaders at #Gartner IOC keynote today.

Earlier today I drank this cup of coffee. It also had a shot of mushroom in it. Coffee with mushroom. That’s not weird. Not at all. Nope. Not weird.

So, as you do when you have a few minutes, while eating some hummus recently I was wondering just how much hummous (hummus) I have consumed since 1990.
Thanks to #ChatGPT, the power of #GenAI gives the answer. A large suitcase apparently. Which is a lot, and probably heavy.
