Guess what...? Not only are renewables a way of securing local energy supply in volatile global markets, they also don't heat the planet or pump out toxic emissions. Seems kind of obvious, but hey, let's keep drilling to keep those nice billionaires happy.

Tr$mp running Venezuela's oil industry is another compelling reason to ditch fossil fuels

Has 'banter' ever been anything but offending / denigrating to those less able to stand up for themselves? My un-word of the year, along with 'deal'

Disheartening to see #uklabour government pushing the anti-immigration narrative. Create your own narrative, one that is progressive and purposeful. Not this Farage-lite shite. All your doing is keeping immigration in the news.

Exactly, what a menace David Attenborough is. He threw eggs at my window once. Whereas maintaining a diversity desert solely for the super rich to massacre birds is far greater for society.

I had fun writing this...

Albo goes up in my estimation after bring a four pack of Albo IPAs to crack with Starmer at Number 10. Can't see Starmer though getting an eponymous beer any time soon though. Tasting notes: the Albo IPA is actually a decent brew, west coast style.

So the anti-immigrant protestors are pushing a 'protect our kids' message, but with 40% of the Southport rioters already involved in domestic violence, can you see who is the real threat to our children?

A quick stop in Canberra on the way to the snow. In my increasingly middle age, I come to appreciate Canberra more and more

My word @apple you make signing in to Apple TV impossible. After making me create an ITunes account I have given up. Too many steps just to watch some TV

A #stormy few days, at least the roof didn't leak this time

Ah, the old blaming the consumer bollocks. Shift the blame from the billionaires responsible for CO2 emissions to everyone else. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#Straya a bit wild after the European spring sunshine

To make jetlag even worse, we're all up watching #Eurovision this morning. Though #Sweden did cheer us up

A selection of spring colours, off into Autumn now as we leave Europe and head home. What an amazing six weeks

Chimney pots of Dieppe

Some cracking #trailruns whilst in the north of England. Largely non-bleak as well!

Great surprise, Albo increasing his majority was not the result I was expecting. Is it a sign that populism, trump-lite politics and anti-net zero stances aren't quite the vote winner anymore, or just that Dutton was shite?

A bog with a view #Amsterdam

Hoots aplenty up on the moors tonight

Surely we have reached the end of civilisation

Happiness is a huge chunk of Harrogate Blue

They are not bears

A rugged loop up Cautley Spout and The Calf today with the family. First decent climb for the youngest, hopefully first of many

I'm no moneyologist, but I'm pretty sure that investment and markets like certainty - clear and consistent goals. I just love it when Donald Flatulence's sycophantic followers all say that this is part of his plan. The chaos is all part of his genius. Of course.

Seem to be plenty of dogs who don't like runners. Bitten again by a shite of a dog this morning whilst running, never the dog's fault.

From autumn to spring in just a day or two...

Guess the airport through its lovely carpet...

I do love a good #cloud. Splendid #sunrise today, or Donald Trump has just exploded...

Stormy seas this morning as I put off starting work after dropping the kids off. #Sydney

Who says #Australia has no culture when it's capable of creating quality like this, where every hour the little car pops out and goes brrrm brrrm brrrm.

Should we start to think twice about travel to #USA? This is not a sign of a healthy democracy. It seems that free speech applies only to those who agree with the flatulent orange man www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Foggy inversions on the Hawkesbury, spider-geddon and timid hoppy things on today's #trail ride

Aside from the huge needs of the Ukrainian people, how on earth does #Trump appeasing Putin benefit the American people in anyway?

Snow gum in the fog, Perisher from last month #Australia

Good morning from the treetops #Sydney

Who'd have thought - green growth, jobs, energy security... Still, oil is the answer, apparently. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

After a summer of relentless humidity, 12 degrees and low humidity for a February run is perfect! Though given the rise in ocean temperatures, humid summers will surely get longer and stickier

They say spiders are deadly... this one caught me in its web... Slammed the brakes on when mountain biking to avoid a huge spider web. Unfortunately, went over the bars and through the web. Nice mess of blood, gravel and spiders! Lesson learned, I hope

As moderates move towards the right in response to Trump, far right etc, doesn't this reinforce their messaging? Bolder green messaging should be a positive counter - and more than just CO2 reduction. Jobs, technology, clean air that we breathe, reducing costs, empowering local community energy...

Another timely reminder that transitioning to renewable, electric vehicles, etc, doesn't just reduce CO2, it also reduces harmful particulates, NOX, dioxins, SO2 etc. Clean air should be a basic human right, given as we have a choice now.

Bananas going bananas next week, prices rising due to flooding in north Queensland affecting "90% of Australia's growing area". Now, who remembers prices going bananas when cyclones in mid-north NSW also destroyed "90% of Australia's bananas"? Must have been a big job to move all those farms

For UK Labour to counter rise of Reform/far right, surely the quick wins are to destroy their ideas. #Brexit failed - this must be a narrative rather than trying to be far right-lite. Also, closer ties with EU surely better path to growth than a runway, hoping that Trump will be nice etc etc

Kids on the #beach. Dads diligently watching the beach

Timely reminder that #DEI initiatives aren't just about hiring. They are about ensuring we all have an equal voice. This allows people to speak up, vital for safety culture. Shouty white man typically doesn't create the best culture for calling out risks and errors

Do we go down the path of structure, certainty, monotony... Or is there a better way? Can we actually improve the #EmployeeExperience? I've written a white paper on the hybrid experiences of organisations based on comprehensive survey, you can download below: www.designingcollab.com/emp-experience
