The Pocket Architect

I don’t make pockets. But if I did, they’d probably be understated and practical, with the minimum of superfluous lint. Much like the buildings I design.

Ooh, yes. It's a headphones-on, sketchy day today.

@BT77W @RIATairtraffic @HeathrowAirport Love this photo. It's difficult to get a proper side by side comparison between the 77W and 35K. Their dimensions are broadly similar, but the 35K always 'looks' smaller. I think there's a bit of an optical illusion, with the 35K having larger, more widely spaced windows.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@BT77W Question: with the imaginative naming of hold points across the airfield (Titan, Lokki etc) how is it that Link 35 hasn’t officially been christened “The Naughty Step”?

@scottiebateman The big red spot west of Toledo is one of those giant greenhouses that are lit up at night to aid plant growth. NatureFresh farms visible on Google Maps.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@PlanningPortal Will this new feature be mandatory? Or can we still upload location plans using OS Maps that have been used throughout Stages 1 & 2?

Otherwise, there's a completely unnecessary duplication in mapping costs for the client.

@madebydbm I was that weird stay at home Dad at many of them. Will drop you a DM.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm Congratulations. If you need any tips on Bromham baby groups etc, let me know.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@BedsLibraries Thank you very much. That’s excellent.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@BedsLibraries I've tried many times, but the links you add never seem to load. Where can I find out the current opening times for Bromham Libary?

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm @BedfordTweets @PHE_uk @ONS I think the most striking part of the recent stats from Bedford Borough is how far behind the national average we are for vaccination take-up.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm Do they still have so many smiley parking attendants, they almost outnumber the number of parking spaces?

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@TimBoxford @SustainableTall Nah. Mine was definitely taller.

Distinctly remember engineering crit mention the tension rods 'would be humming'.

Which can only be a good thing.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm Is there any other way to say it?

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm Genuinely wasting time deciding if you carefully crafted a laser-cut template, donned some fireproof gloves, welding mask, took the toast to a well-ventilated area and whipped-out the blow-torch...

...or just Photoshop wizzpoppery.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm And yet, you'll be inundated with LinkedIn requests from recruiters offering positions as an 'employee'... despite your bio being all about your own business. Sigh.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm I also recommend free FancyZones Utility from Microsoft PowerTools for organising windows across multiple monitors.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm Not sure about video editing, but 1 monitor for 'doing stuff' & 1 monitor for 'reference' works a treat. Use a monitor arm to reclaim desk space and bring the monitors closer to your eyes.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm I can't really complain. She occasionally makes me a cuppa. Didn't get that when I worked at home alone.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

@madebydbm Welcome to my world.

Wife and I are in different rooms, on different floors of the house. I can still hear her keyboard strokes.

[The Pocket Architect @pocketarchitect]

How nice to notice the faint sound of children playing, drifting across the village from @BromhamPrimary this morning. Something I've not heard for many months.
