A quote from Vincent Deary's book 'How we break': The rhythm of incessant demand is toxic. We should only have to gear up for high demand every so often, then we need a break for our system to recover and reset.

My #WorkingFromHome view this morning. Much cloudier and greyer than yesterday, but London is still looking spectacular.

Couldn't resist heading out for a run in this gorgeous sunshine. ☀️ Managed 6km this evening, at a comfortable pace.

📸 The sun going down almost perfectly behind The Shard.

#sunset #London #HighriseLife
A photo of London’s skyline, looking west. The sun is going down, almost perfectly aligned with the outline of The Shard highrise tower. Deep orange skies contrast with a very dark horizon and a light river Thames in the foreground. Taken from Canary Wharf in the East of London.

Another beautiful sunset over London 😍
A picture of a London sunset, looking west, towards the Shard. In the foreground we can see a calm looking river Thames. A bright band of orange sky frames London’s skyscrapers.
