@TfL Hey Steven, good here thanks! Looks like a nice improvement 😍, glad to see it happen so fast. @charliemxtn's version is lovely too!

@NOS_Alive Hola everyone! Just in case anyone's wonder why @GlassAnimals are not on the set list tonight: https://t.co/lPTTNSbvrE

Gutted to miss Pride in London this year, though feels like it was very adorable and wholesome.

This morning was the original date for my 3rd driving test at Wanstead, but luckily I got a cancellation and passed 3 months ago. And this past week drove across the UK from London to Liverpool!

Working from the Midlands this week — enjoying the perks like getting to sit in a garden!

[calvin_lau @calvin_lau]

Expect more from my team, and perhaps some thoughts of my own too.

@bryangale Also I think I'm due for an Utopia rewatch. Kinda bummed the American remake didn't work out

[calvin_lau @calvin_lau]

@bryangale Yep totes agree the promos look awful. I reckon a better casting instead of Pegg would've been like... Chiwetel Eigiofor

@jeeeberts Once I thought I lost my wallet going through security at Shanghai Airport. Staff saw me looking for something and I realised I didn't know 'wallet' in Mandarin and guessed "钱包 / money... package?" — everyone instantly understood me!

Been avoiding preview articles and YouTube videos of the #ElizabethLine like they're movie spoilers.

[calvin_lau @calvin_lau]

@run_mike_run Congratulations!! Well done and deserved!

[calvin_lau @calvin_lau]

Quite euphoric how content fully become a developed and recognised discipline with HAPPENINGS!

The casual but enlightening Friday cross-government #DesignSystem chats are always a great way to wind down the week, and I've learned tons of interesting stuff from everyone that pops in!

[Imran Hussain @ImHuYorks]

The GOV UK #DesignSystem Team have been hosting regular chats about design systems from March this year. We've been taking notes at every session.

You can read them here: https://t.co/irGDuezOmd

There's some excellent design, accessibility, prototyping & events discussion there

[calvin_lau @calvin_lau]

@ImHuYorks Whew, what a saga!

[calvin_lau @calvin_lau]

If you've ever wanted to find more accessible ways to make parts of a form conditionally reveal, you're in luck!

Enjoyed writing this slightly tricky topic with @CharlotteLDowns, @36degrees.

[calvin_lau @calvin_lau]

@amylaurence100 @CuriousScutter Indeed we are, we've been working on a new component and better guidance for accordions — keen to learn what you have!
