Oh dear...

And why is it taking so long to do anything? 2.5 years so far, to do a trail guide...

Ridership on Paris region transit systems is now generally at or higher than pre-pandemic levels. Bike use is much higher than pre-pandemic. At the same time, car traffic in Paris and on its ring highway is substantially lower than it was pre-pandemic. www.institutparisregion.fr/mobilite-et-...

Well done to Rebel Bear, a top class effort. #Glasgow

Cory Doctorow being very erudite, indignant and amusing (definition of a good satirist) on @tds153.bsky.social 's Start the Week reminds me of what he wrote about this very platform... doctorow.medium.com/https-plural...

Thunderbird 2 was the best Thunderbird. I will not be taking questions on this position.

Time we had a Friday pic from my archive. The 112 metre Domtoren in the centre of #Utrecht. Built between 1321-82 as the west tower of the Cathedral. The nave was destroyed by a tornado in 1674 and since then it has been freestanding. So huge it looks almost fake! #Photography #Architecture

I was attracted by the mixture of leaves and foam spinning in the pool, so I put on the ND filter and took couple of long exposures. There was no wind at all and the atmosphere was completed by the thick fog 🤩

As usual, not only excellent journalism from @glasgowbell.bsky.social but well-written

Friends of the Necropolis should get over themselves... literal gatekeeping from a bunch that can't cope with the current gates. This is a great idea and should be welcomed.

Noisy bastards, everywhere.

It's #stew night here. Made a huge pot of pork shoulder cooked in dry cider, with potatoes, parsnips, sage and rosemary. Then once that was out of the pressure cooker in went the 4 elements of Peposo : a big, thick-sliced joint of beef, red wine, garlic and a vast amount of black pepper.

This is just great.

Good to meet @lesleyriddoch.bsky.social in the Pot Still earlier this evening. Always good to discover someone is as interesting in person as their public persona implies!

A reference in the stucco decorations of the Chapel of St Casimir to the Order of the Ermine. Created in 1464 by Ferdinand I of Naples, the motto was Malo mori quam foedari - I would rather die than be dishonoured. It seems correct Latin was not a skill of the Lithuanian designer... #Vilnius

As a vague gesture to the day I went to this. It was very studenty. With some infuriatingky theatrical audience reactions from their friends. Exaggerated laughter (at frankly wierd points) instant screaming standing ovation etc etc. www.rcs.ac.uk/whats-on/let...
