A walk along the Limehouse Cut earlier today.

Huge numbers of people on the trains wearing red Emirates Airline tshirts. Must be an airline convention in town.

Update. 🌳🪓 emergency tree surgeon called out to Arsenal victory parade. As organisers realise – late in the day – that open top bus is going down ‘wrong’ side of road. And champions will be whacked in face by low-hanging branches 😬

Rain! Yipee!

GBR spotting at Waterloo station.

It was a frozen pizza when they got on the train.

The V&A says this is a northern Indian winged lion carved around 100 CE. Umm, its a squirrel.

Happy "crossing over the street to walk on the shady side" day to all those who celebrate it.

A view I hold quite strongly from my own childhood but which now seems to be completely out of step with the prevailing social manners: children should not sit down on the tube if adults are standing, unless they sit in the lap of an adult they are with.

Amusing that this advert at Waterloo tube station uses a Solari split-flap display, which a sizeable portion of the population has never seen in real life. Bit like advertising videos with an image of a VHS tape.

I guess the reason Question Time didn't include Albert Einstein in their AI show is that his image is copyrighted.

I know it's probably just a generic poster footer, but the idea that you might want to use the TfL website to plan a short walk between stations makes me smile. (PS, you can't actually plan the journey as the TfL journey planner treats both Jubilee and Lizzie as one station)

Following a comment by @giffordhead.co.uk , I now own a tiny drop of North Sea Oil. Take that Strait of Hormuz!

Railway pub quiz question update: crewe.nub.news/news/local-n...

Been to a contemporary art exhibition, but they were still installing it when I arrived - leaving visitors* unsure if that's art, or a fitting waiting for a sign to be installed. *ok, me then.

The second transport journalist to go behind a paywall in the past couple of months.

Extremely unimportant news alert! IKEA is discontinuing the Malm product range.

The office chair has a squeak. Ian tries to oil the office chair joints. The office chair still squeaks. Flat also stinks. Ian now has a headache.

Hearing on the news that Iran has a "draft unofficial framework" to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is giving me iran-agreement-final-v7-approved-v3-draft-v8.docx vibes.
