A sad day: such a beautiful bird, built in Filton, of course. Seeing her in flight was wonderful. I used to stay at the Sofitel by Paris CDG en route to see my parents in Central Africa, and you could sit at the bar in the evening and watch her coming in from New York.

Before the current Southgate, on a long-gone tree close to the old Ham Gardens multistorey car park, the flock of wagtails covered that at night too. Not sure what happened during the years c.2007 when everything was a building site & dinosaurs held sway in that part of the city.

Let me show you something
A work by British artist Banksy – created just after Kyiv region was de-occupied and later nearly stolen in Hostomel – is now kept in the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra.
Next to it is an 11th-century graffiti caricature from the Dormition Cathedral.

Bath is gearing up for the start of its 25th Christmas market. It's well worth a visit if you're in the area from 27/11 to 14/12 ... and you don't mind crowds. You could get a drink at @thegrapesbath.co.uk 🍻

I'm in such a bad mood. Had about 3 hours sleep, for no obvious reason, and then I went for a late lunch break only to find the office microwave was broken, and I was too late to get anything from the canteen. Nearly burst into tears 😆

A little thing that works for me, maybe it can work for you, is that Black Friday week is also "Focused Unsubscribing Week". EVERY company that ever got you on their mailing list will send an email this week. Make an intention as you enter the week to unsub, not just ignore, to anyone you're over.
