Since 7 October 2023 an average of 27 children have been killed in Gaza by Israel every single day.

A whole classroom of children wiped out everyday by a genocidal regime, even while queuing for food and water.

And still the UK government sells them weapons. Shame on them.

It’s a beautiful day.

“London Centric has seen Lime’s rider insurance policy, which requires users to be permanently disabled in a severe manner such as the “complete loss of one kidney” before it will pay out.” @londoncentric.media #lime #limebiles

A valuable restoration in Fitzrovia. The facade bears the legend The Middlesex Hospital Radium Wing at third floor level, while the signage above the door reads The Meyerstein Institute of Radio-Therapy. Behind it, sits Fitzroy Place. #architecture #fitzrovia

Although never ones to be overly superstitious, we felt a flicker of unrest when Friday the 13th revealed itself as the day we’d complete the deal on the new bakery & deli. But, as someone far wiser than us once said, every day is a good day to start a new journey.

Thoughts begin turn to cycling goals for 2025. Aiming to better this 24-hour ride from 2014. Tracing the original route of the A1 might make for a tasty weekend challenge.

“The further 🇱🇧 cuisine travels from Beirut the easier it seems to stretch its cultural connections. By the time fattoush arrives in London it would appear to have originated in any of Lebanon’s neighbours.

It’s about as wild a thought as an ‘English curry.’”

I've been trying to write this article for the past 6 weeks, but sadly it was spiked. Well done #CamillaCavendish and @data.ft.com @mliebreich.bsky.social for getting it out there.

Venice, the original 15-minute city, where every ‘journey’ is punctuated by human interaction, friendly smiles, a whispered “scusi”, and time to be perfectly present.

“Let’s save the rim brake”

Winter miles, etc.
