@reckter true, true! Probably the only good thing about the UK plug design is how absolutely bomb proof it is

Sideways is also good, but these wireless charging pads are a pain cos the table surface is so slippery that my phone never stays there

Oh yeah, I am heading southwards again as the clan leader appears to be out of immediate danger

Weather update: there is actual *sunshine* up here at the moment

I am having the traditional hotel-room breakfast of champions: instant coffee and Biscoff biscuits

Day 2 in the old country: it is still pissing it down, but apparently it will stop “in the next hour” according to my phone

I have been in the motherland for 4 hours and it has continuously pissed it down – so I feel very much back at home

You may be pleased to hear that this long train journey is almost done and you will be spared my inane wittering for a while

Ok, hear me out here: “trebuchet tiles” – design repeating patterns and then use a siege engine to lob them at walls…

Also, speaking of flooding, can’t help but notice that it is wet out in Engerland: passing a lot of boggy-looking fields

People who design train toilets should be forced to have one at home

Here's the kids' work from today's illuminated mushroom-making workshop; this was a class of year 6 pupils

In contrast, there are (/were) 7 ZipCar vans parked on the street at various locations within a 5 minute walk of me. At least one of these is always available. I can book it on my phone in less than 5 minutes for a couple of hours, then just drop it back off and walk away

There are a bunch of jobs that just won't be logistically feasible now. The key thing was not the price, but the convenience. The nearest reliable van hire place to me is a 20 minute cycle ride away and then at least a half hour drive to get it back to the studio. It's only open during certain […]

To wit: central/north London car club locations with and without ZipCar included…

The idea is to talk about what we do as light/installation artists and then get the young people to have a go at making their own work. Hopefully we can cluster all of them together at the end and make one big installation

Also, if anyone has a lead on who made this amazing bird box installation last year, I'd love to talk to them!
