So what is your policy on potholes?

Nice, short, observation from an informed commentator I admire. Populists are very good at broadcasting what they are against, and who is to blame for shortcomings in the current system. They grab attention with wild, often unsubstantiated theories,... See More »

The Eve of St Nicholas

Waiting for my daughter to fall asleep and trying to decide whether to put treats or coal in her shoe. It is a marginal decision after some crazy behaviour today 🥴 But I will probably feel more disappointed if we can't give our gifts. I have... See More »

It's not easy being a dwarf planet

This is Haumea, one of five dwarf planets identified in our solar system. She is too small to have a proper global atmosphere, so gravity has pulled her into an egg shape. She spins so fast that her day lasts just 3.9 hours. And to cap it all,... See More »

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset... See More »

I was at a conference in London at the start of the week and had an evening out with some of my younger colleagues. I like hanging around with the 20-somethings because you don't feel obliged to drink alcohol and an evening out is often based around... See More »

Yesterday I found a hedgehog in the road . .

. . going round and round in circles. I scooped him up and popped him over the hedge into a field where hopefully he will not get run over. I wondered if he'd had a stroke. But then it occured that he should probably be hibernating by now. Perhaps... See More »
