Was expecting a lecture about post-war architecture, but instead heard a story of corruption and impropriety within Harold Wilson’s Labour government, notably around the development of Centre Point. Fascinating talk, @EwanMHarrison!

Was lovely bumping into @scruffymongrel on the train this morning. Been too long!

To celebrate @sammorrisdesign’s appearance in the New York Times this week, me, @mandr8, @c_p_pearson and @tobefrankj tried to recreate the iconic photo. Really captures the energy of the newsroom, I think.

Not long now until my friend @qwertykate can claim to be a published novelist! So, “mark it on your dance cards”, for the Purple People will be arriving in June. 😈

This week I renewed my business insurance with Ashley @_withjack. Personal, informative and helpful customer service, and policies that are competitive and comprehensive. What’s not to love!?

Ten years ago today. Sadly, the problems this little hackathon tried to address haven’t gone away. Maybe it’s time for the long overdue sequel? (Main poster illustration: @cole007)

2am. Still singing karaoke.

Spent much of today aboard trains going in the wrong direction, i.e. headed towards home. But! I get to spend all day tomorrow here in Cologne, which makes me very happy (as does the Kölsch).

Taking advantage of the flexibility of my Interrail pass, and spending an extra day in Oslo. High probability I may never leave at all.

Surprisingly emotional as I visit the grave of George Bradshaw in Oslo. As fate would have it, the old town’s graveyard is sat right next to a railway.

After a week of grey, horrid weather, the clouds lift and blue skies finally appear over Stockholm. In this part of Europe at least, all is bright and well.
