At St Pancras, the little dog in the Meeting-Place Statue has been worn bright from being patted by many people. These moments of connection matter.

Work-wise, a couple of long-term projects are trundling along, and others are getting ready to go. Doors will close 30 seconds before departure!

Echoes of Malmö’s industrial past in Västra hamnområdet. On a Saturday morning, it was quiet and peaceful. Footpaths and waterways are threaded between old industrial buildings and modern housing blocks.

Lights over Leeds: high rise blocks, streetlights, aeroplane, full moon.

Which A. A. Milne poem talks about going on a quest for dragons?

I asked ChatGPT. It gave me the wrong answer.

When challenged on this, it admitted its error, but then combined the title of one poem with an extract of another.

It still got it wrong.

Correct answer in the replies!

Spent a happy afternoon at a watercolour class at The Bowery. Remembered a lot that I thought I’d forgotten. Also the coffee was very good. Recommended!

Scholargoggler can also pull words out from PubMed instead of Google Scholar. And you can customise font and colour scheme.

Oh I’m liking the scholargoggler tool! It even generates an alt-text to go with your personal word-cloud 👌
