Friday night, I was in #Leeds for the truly epic #Swans and #JessicaMoss;
Yesterday, I finished a book;
And
Today, I won a gold medal for my #Taekwondo patterns.
Feeling like that's a pretty good weekend!

We were the happy catchers of the #richardbrautigan book tossed into the crowd by #thelovelyeggs at tonight's gig in #birminghamuk.
Photo taken down the road because we were just too squashed in at #thecastle&falcon -
How different from the Cob Dominoes days at the Victoria or the Wagon and Horses!

In Atlanta for ITS World Congress! I'm this picture I'm just about to speak on the hard work we've put into achieving UK data standards to help the US DOT.
Great panel with colleagues from Taiwan, Germany and mobilitydata!

I wish #SacredPaws were on Bluesky so I could tell them just how much their music is a balm for my soul.

I'm at a @lambrinigirls.bsky.social show in Brum tonight, on the edge of an epic mosh pit, and my shoulder gets yanked backwards. Someone desperate for the pit, I think. Fair enough. But the pair of bellends who come through, both well over 6', just stop directly in front of me.

2025 and International Women's Day is more important than ever.
In a world where avowed misogynists are lauded and the "Feminisation" of discourse and workplaces is vilified, we need to support our sisters and fight for our equality.

So my Facebook Me has suddenly discovered my LinkedIn Me and now my FB feed is serving up invites to Industry events.
What I don't think FB realises, though, is that this advert has Actual Me in the photo! 😄
(And yes, I will be at #TTG25 this year, too)

The glorious elevation of a corridor at #CDG T2;
The thoughtful retrofit of flat paving amongst cobbles for bicycles in #Copenhagen.

My experience of European air travel is that I get addressed in English most of the time.
Today, almost not at all and my conversational French is just not up to the job.
I think it's the #glasses

Christmas tomorrow: the end of Advent.
My favourite album of 2024, out of the nearly 100 I listened to, is Amelia by Laurie Anderson.
Ever since I first heard it, it has haunted me, talked to me, been with me. Its soul has stuck to me.
Happy Holidays, everyone! ❤️🌲

Sunday before Christmas: it should be a chance to relax into the Christmas spirit, but today's Advent Album is not on that vibe. #Drahla 's angeltape (which, as the photo illustrates, comes On Tape (😃)) is sultry, brittle, and arch.
Possibly the opposite of festive, but very good!

December 20th and the forward side of the longest night.
Today's Advent Album is Toda la Verdad Sobre Dame Area by #DameArea. The solstice is a good time to release what no longer serves you and this album is a powerful sonic cleanser. [Think Throbbing Gristle/Skinny Puppy]
I absolutely love it.

19th!
Today's Advent Album is The Night Dwells in the Day by #JozefvanWissem.
This has been my most listened to album from this year. Deceptively simple modern lute pieces, haunting and graceful. (And very agreeable to work to)

Gift exchanges are happening so it must be Christmas soon!
18th of December and my Advent Album is Romance by #FontainesDC.
Lots of different stuff on this one. Up, down, and of course lyrically fabulous.
I missed seeing them this time through epic diary mismanagement, but you shouldn't!

Train chaos and a day in a freezing London office, 17 December's Advent Album is Rockmaker by The Dandy Warhols.
More mature than 25 years ago (aren't we all?) and full of good tunes. Guitar Indie rock, of course.
