After living through the Nazi & atomic bomb eras, Tove Jansson writings would often encompass fearful ideas about loss of a familiar world. However she would balance this with characters who encompassed #kindness & #community, even in the darkest times #WomensArt #WorldKindnessDay

The Old Tollbooth on Royal Mile last night. A higher quality waiting for taxi environment than most cities can offer.

Cycling through Edinburgh with afternoon sun catching on the cupolas and I want to reread @kathleenjamie.bsky.social essay Skylines in Findings as she captures this whole business in words much better than my photo can.

The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

Civic/sports buildings are an underrated attraction in France. They are plain, well built, abundant and do a lot. We ate charcuterie while a rock band played at a local centre with a thermal pool and physio classes. Next door were the judo and basketball halls. Nearby, very exciting hairdryers. 🇫🇷

Love the intermingling of home and barn in Alsace. Courtyards accommodating multiple generations of families, workers’ flats and equipment and buildings that can shape-shift over centuries.

Incredible thermal inversion over Edinburgh from the pentlands this morning. Taken from Carnethy hill looking north-east, you can see Turnhouse, Castlelaw, Allermuir and Caerketton hills. What you can't see is any of the city of Edinburgh!

Craoltóir, scríbhneoir agus Gael. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.
Thar na blianta, chruthaigh sé & chuir sé i láthair an t-uafás cláracha do TnaG & TG4. Tá oidhreacht shaibhir fágtha aige dúinn a thabharfaidh inspioráid don chéad ghlúin eile 🕯️

Kate Macintosh designed Dawson’s Heights for Southwark Council in 1964 aged just 28. (She's alive and well and still fighting for high quality social housing.) English Heritage described it as ‘an example of the almost-lost art of romantic townscape’

Fascinating peak beneath the surface of one of London’s new Cycleways - you can see the complex drainage system that ensures bike lanes help protect the capital from heavy rain & the effects of climate change.
And don’t they look great when they’re finished? 💚🚲👍

Speaking as Midlothian Energy Director this morning at really great event by Clean Heat Edinburgh Forum that focused on what Not for Profit could mean in delivery of heat networks. Considering where and how we ensure communities are embedded in delivery was great way to reflect on DHN benefits.
