When you’re co-writing a book about Mission Impossible, it’s only fair to see the new instalment with your writing partner! So @ericanela.bsky.social and her lovely husband left their native Nailsea and @amyclarke83.bsky.social and myself left London, to meet in the middle at Oxford.

Week 3 out of 11 of teaching at Birkbeck, University of London complete. What a brilliant experience it has been so far. The students have been really motivated and engaged. Next week they pitch the projects that they will be doing as the final assessment. Excited to see what they bring.

We have a new episode of Walking The Ground which looks at the road into Arnhem and why a feature called The Bottleneck caused misery for the British Airborne.

One of the worst hotel stays on this job I’m shooting. First, the room is all bed! Next, despite setting the thermostat low, the room is hotter than Hades. And finally, the neighbours came back around midnight, banged into the wall outside my room and then proceeded to have obnoxiously loud sex.

Rivals is ridiculously good fun. The first episode literally opens on a shot of people with very very 80s hair and clothes having sex in the bathroom of Concorde, cut to Robert Palmer’s Addicted To Love. Onboard from that very moment.

Rocking these Heel Tread motorsport socks. Bought three sets in three distinct colours inspired by legendary liveries from iconic cars. Anyone want to take a guess at these?
None of them are F1 by the way.

Spent the weekend working on my book proposal for The Mad, Bad and Sad History of Car Brands. My sample is about German companies and I may have to do an opening paragraph stating they all did bad things between 1939 and 1945!
By the way, The below image is what I’ve gone with for the Author page.

Late to it, but really drawn in by the TV show Kin. Crime thriller. All shot in Dublin. If you’re in the UK it’s on BBC iPlayer and also Netflix. Great cast, tight writing and neat directing. Hoping for a third season but it’s currently in limbo as the production company went bust.

I only have one criteria when buying a car. ‘Not boring’.
1. Fiat Uno. First car. Wasn’t a Fiesta or a Corsa.
2. Hyundai Coupe. Looks like a Ferrari 456 if you get dirt in your eye.
3. Ford Transit. £20 at auction.
4. Saab 9-3 Aerosport. The weirdos choice of executive car. Still cool.£220.
