Starting Ben Pontin’s book today - The Environmental Case for Brexit, A Socio-Legal Perspective. Published in 2019, Pontin was one of the few who saw #Brexit as an opportunity to better protect the environment, not a threat. Was he right? Is the #environment better off out?

Saw ‘Ways of Being’ by James Bridle in the Tate Britain shop last week. All weekend I regretted not buying it so popped into Waterstones this avo & now I can’t put it down. It might be my new favourite book 📖🤓🧡

And was given this to read by my niece at Christmas. Not my usual lit but I think I may have recommended her Sach’s The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat at some point. Is this somewhat in that vein, perhaps?

My supervisor suggested I might like to read Rosi Braidotti’s work on post-humanism. Not sure if this was the book he meant but I found it on wob.

Sure. Np. I think the kits are reliable enough for our purposes. We now have a year of data from across +30 sample points.

Plus the kit method is pretty straightforward to teach & easy to learn.

Back indoors. Next job is to check the storm discharge map provided by Thames Water to see if sewage has been released in this stretch in the last 48hrs. And the results are… phew.
