Ten Days In Aberdeen
Folks at work have referred to my travels as a tour of Dying British Seaside Towns, and they maybe have a point. Bournemouth clearly has had better days, and Blackpool is less ‘faded glory’ and more ‘decaying remnants’, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that Aberdeen isn’t the crumbling industrial wasteland it was described…

A Brief Stop In Aylesbury
A brief badly planned stop, as it happens. I left Blackpool on the Friday & made it to Aylesbury in pretty good time thanks to a lucky connection at Preston where the train arrived as I got to the appropriate platform. The reason for the trip was a birthday BBQ “Sausage Party” for Becs on…

Three Weeks In Blackpool
The idea that I’m going to do a day by day account of my time in a Digital Nomad Co-working/Co-living space is just as appalling to me as it no doubt is to you, so let’s all agree to set that idea aside right now. This is going to be a bunch of images, with…

Back In Aylesbury, Side Trip To Oxford
When we last spoke, I was leaving Bath & heading back towards Aylesbury on an unevenly-packed train, in what turned out to be a wildly uneventful journey. Most of the reason for a return to Aylesbury is to see friends, though the specific timing is because of a work Company Update in Oxford. ( They’re…

A Day In Oxford
Where to start? And when will it end? I’ll be blunt; I had a bad day in Oxford. Made the best of it, but it wasn’t a good day for me, despite carefully worded dissembling when asked about it by various management team folks. Mostly it was the crush of people & the wall of…

Clambering Out Of The Bath
OK, not my best work. I’m probably tempting fate by saying this, but my packing process feels like it’s getting faster. Some of that will be because of the things which never made it out of the bag(s) in the first place, but I’m thinking that a bunch of it is due to having a…

Visiting The Baths, In Bath, As Recounted By Someone In A Bath
There was a bottle of prosecco in the fridge, next to the milk. There’s a bath. I’m in Bath. I’ve visited the historic Roman baths in Bath. Where else could I possibly post from? I took no pictures of my bath¹. You’re welcome. I enjoyed the Roman Bath … tour? Walkabout? It’s set up to…

Bath – Sunday to Friday
The trip here was uneventful, but mostly because I boarded the train as soon as I could & got a seat. Not everyone did, because it was full of folks going to Penzance whose train was supposed to be leaving from Paddington, but was instead leaving from Reading. I don’t know why. Anyway, I had…

Greenwich Friday, Saturday, Sunday
Back to the Geovation hub to work today, even though I (correctly) expected it to be deader than yesterday. I stopped off at the coffee place from yesterday ( Goswell Road Coffee ) and hung around in there for a bit. They may be winning the “weird decorating” prize. The hub was, as predicted, dead.…

Greenwich Monday to Thursday
Leaving Salisbury went smoothly; I’d packed everything I possibly could, done the dishes, and even vacuumed the night before, so all I really needed to do was shower, put on the clothes I’d set out the evening before, and go, retuning the key to it’s lockbox & dumping some rubbish on the way out. Me…
