@anne_theriault I had a rough bout of Covid. And @KitchenBee Amulet Eggs were a revelation. Basically eggs and some Dijon mustard mixed in for a simple omelette. The best.

@MPrinParr @GarethDennis I am a big fan of the bus in general- and this looks super interesting for smaller cities that need regular public transit but lack the cash to do major (disruptive) infrastructure.

Happy New Year’s Eve from some pretty winsome Longhorns on my sister’s ranch.

Amazing to spend some time in my home town. Some things have changed, a lot has stayed the same.

Beautiful start to the day #YorkMinster - incredibly impressed with their work on #netzero and #neighbourhoodplanning

@omaromalleykhan Oh gosh. I’ve been here longer as well. 22 years here, 3 in Guatemala, 1 in Panama and then 19 (not sure of my math) in the States.

@londoninsider I think I got your insomnia last night. Ugh.

Autumn light, really is the best light.

@lucycpickford Oh wow!!! Yes exactly right. And a rainy evening version … might be the ideal birthday present for my husband…

There are places in London that are just pure magic. Especially in the rain.

@VictoriaRTPI @DefraGovUK @RTPIPlanners Really good to discuss these important issues with you!!

[Rachel Fisher @RachelAFisher]

Spotted a copy in the wild while ducking out of the rain yesterday @jonjalex looking forward to (finally) reading it.
