This article on the disruption of road repairs is a good non-technical summary of the difficulties we face with ageing infrastructure. As the highways guy alludes, deferring work due to budget cuts degrades the road and makes longer, more disruptive repairs inevitable.

There was a skater in Queen's Park this morning, taking advantage of what I suspect is the last of the ice.
I am in awe of the athleticism of folk who can do this.

A quick google informs me that after this surge, Australia provides about 4% of our beef imports, and our beef imports are about 25% of our consumption. So this headline is basically saying “anger as 0.6% becomes 1% of total” and I’m not sure that’s particularly justifiable

China's clean power capacity additions picked up in November, with 13GW of wind and 21GW solar. China has already added almost as much wind&solar in Jan-Nov as in the full year 2024, ahead of the end-of-year and end-of-five-year-plan spike expected in December.

An amusing, and presumably temporary, addition to Paul Raphael Montford's statue of Philosophy on the Kelvin Way Bridge in Glasgow. I guess it makes a change from a road cone!

One of my first oil paintings from 1996 of Avebury where I went to primary school. Being there had a profound influence on my work.

A good image for the solstice. But I can't help thinking that the stained glass is in fact giant Rowantree's fruit gums.
