From a great walk along the Lea from Lea Bridge south, a ‘recce’ for a u3a 10 mile walk I’m leading tomorrow. Hopefully the weather will be as good!

Sorry that was meant to be a link to the actual walk but maybe that’s not allowed. I’ll post some pics instead

A glorious day today for a 10 mile walk in east London down the River Lea to Limehouse, the Isle of Dogs then through the tunnel to Greenwich www.relive.cc/invite?u=v93...

At the magical Jacob Collier concert last night. What an amazing musician and singer, who turned the whole 15000 strong audience into a choir! And great interactions with Tori Kelly #jacobcollier #O2arena #concert #iphonepics #torikelly

Great view of the City’s monoliths in late afternoon sun, from Parliament Hill

The fear of 13 at @donmarwarehouse.bsky.social is perhaps the best new play I’ve ever seen. Adrien Brody gave an intense performance along with a brilliant cast, in a gut-wrenching true story. The clever script, production and set also deserve ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Donmar does it again!

Highgate Cemetery west tour: brilliant tour of this amazing place on a clear crisp morning, with our erudite guide and friend John. Thoroughly recommended!

Great idea, there’s enough negativity in the world just now. And in the long term it’s the good things that you remember. I’ve been doing something similar since joining 🦋 last week but rather spasmodically.

Not an acronym but a good tag created by l think by Carole Cadwalladr: #broligarchy for the Zuckerberg/Musk/Bezos continuum

#Broligarchy yess! Good to see 🦋 flourishing. I decided to withdraw from the Zuckerberg/Musk/Bezos continuum a while back. Welcome to the last days of the Weimar Republic.

Beautiful hunters’ moon last night! This is last month’s full moon taken in Grasmere with iPhone at 3am!
