A complete stranger pre-paid an Uber to take me home today after I collapsed in Covent Garden and a kind lady gave me a bottle of water to cure what turned out to be dehydration. By the time I got home I was fine. The kindness of strangers is truly amazing.

Does anyone know what this is. Could it be the building of the Great Eastern?

When you sing From a tree I can’t fathom a thing But you are sending some thing If only a ping When you land on the seat Are you sending a thought? Don’t go away Little bird I want to hear  what you want to say Soon technology will find a way Till then keep rob, rob Robin along

We Earthlings are but a minute spec Among trillions of galaxies and the only one with Evolution’s gift of breathable air Why then are we sleepwalking to war Wondering whether at worst Nuclear weapons or rogue AI will get there first

A large swanky coffee bar has just opened in Horseferry Road as yet un-named. Surely it should reference Ada Lovelace, the computer pioneer whose statue is at the top of the building

Pedestrianise our pavements Who’d have thought that cycle lanes Would lead to losses not gains A surge of cyclists now use the footway In anti-social power play What we need is a complete cessation And a quick return to pedestrianisation

Just had 500 views but no-one has asked why it is so green at a time of drought. Interesting.
