Hell of a view even if the weather isn't great..

Just spotted this photo elsewhere. #Dublin2029

I used to aim for eight hours of beauty sleep but these days I’ll settle for five hours of personality sleep.

Last day in Berlin. This trip has been a bit mixed for various reasons. I am very grateful for the support of friends.

Good job Metropolcon!

Woke up early and went to the Berlin Wall memorial..

I love parkrun. It takes me to interesting places and meet different nice people. Like conrunning.

Eating at a McDonald's overlooking Checkpoint Charlie feels very historically odd...

Hey Universe, you really need to ease up with the random rolls please.

Good Morning Berlin!

Visited this today. Yeah it was a thing. Very much so.

When in Rome....

I'm on my first Ubahn and there is an Irish person behind me on a phone call... Just amused at the timing.

Approaching Brussels.

I love just sitting and watching out the window on trains...

Just crossed into Belgium. Train slowed right down and an Abandoned station.

I *may* have the whole cabin to myself....

Departing Paris for Berlin by Train. It's like a moving hotel! ;)

It's bad form to steal your hosts cat right?

she’s a 10 but Excel thinks she’s October

Cat in a box!

French Sci Fi Bar...

Vanilla Bean sees all your sins and judges you accordingly

Well, time to do something stupid....

Morning Alarm Cat.

CJ + JC.

Kinda warm in Paris.

JC feeding CJ.

I had meant to book to the catacombs in Paris but it kept slipping my mind... Ooops!

Stade de France earlier. Lightning storm over a rugby game.

Lighting over Stad de France.

Le Rugby!

🌈Happy Pride Everyone🌈

If you are unlawfully made homeless, and complain about your landlord to the Residential Tenancies Board, they will close your complaint because you can’t give them a permanent address you live at (because you were unlawfully made homeless).

Also spotted at Didcot.

My long journey from Oxfordshire to Berlin starts with a traditional UK train cancellation. I diverted to Didcot #Eurocon #Metropolcon

I've probably eaten my body volume in cool pops over the last few days....

SHAKESPEAREAN HAIKU Shall I compare thee To a summer’s day? Alright – Thou art very hot.

Europe's worst heatwave so far, in terms of heat stress measures and temperatures - brought to you by fossil fuels. New @wwattribution.bsky.social study showing how such deadly heat became possible in only a few decades. www.worldweatherattribution.org/fossil-fuel-...

Possibly the worst nights sleep ever. Ambient temperature remains way too high. Might have over done it on the physical exercise as well...

The breeze today meant it's not as terrible as it has been temperature wise.

Oh Canada.... #SUIvCAN

My son, testing out a new joke tonight... Farmer: How many sheep are there. Sheep dog: 40 Farmer: Oh? I thought we had 38. Sheep dog: Yeah. I rounded them up.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Say hello to my little friend....

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄 Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇 So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage 🧵1/23
