Pinch, punch, first of the month (no returns!) I picked this up when I went to see the memorial to Nick at St Bride’s a couple of months ago. It has sat on my desk since then and this morning I thought I ought to at least try reading it properly. I’m not going to … Continue reading Monday, 1st September 2025 →

What performative gestures are killing real community...

2025/08/21

Oof! This is the question that formed the basis of yesterday's "Unreasonable Connection". It's a lot more direct than I heard it in the room! The breakout group that I was part of, talked mostly about running events and dealing with such events "not working" in some way – usually evidenced by the feeling that … Continue reading What performative gestures are killing real community in your space? →

On Friday, it’ll be 34 years since I first became a father. It’s the role I’ve played most consistently (if not always brilliantly) in this lifetime. Since then that time of year that used to feel like “back to school” has felt more like “woah! wtf?! we made a person!” I’ve done a lot of … Continue reading Wednesday, 20th August 2025 →

Wandering into the web

Perfect Path ·

2025/06/20

After breakfast, but before coffee, I went up the garden to see whether we have a couple of folding chairs in the kind of shed/cupboard thing that's on level 3. Our garden is cut into a steep hill. If you count our downstairs as level 0 then my studio is on level 1 and it … Continue reading Wandering into the web →

Coffee Mornings and “regrowing a living culture”

Perfect Path ·

2025/05/30

What does it mean to gather around "regrowing a living culture"? I've been using that phrase to talk about the monthly coffee mornings I'm doing in London and I thought it might be worth going back to where I picked the phrase up. Late in 2023, my friends Dougald and Anna ran a course with … Continue reading Coffee Mornings and “regrowing a living culture” →

I need to blog more. I need to write more, but I also need to release more and this is the best place I have for doing that. I caught myself giving someone feedback on their work which was really an expression of my frustration with not feeling productive myself. It's not enough to apologise … Continue reading Tuesday, 6th May 2025 →

The May 2025 instance of the Living Culture Coffee...

2025/05/06

We did it again on Friday morning. Sorry if you wanted to come but didn’t see a reminder. It seems (to me) to be working, whatever it is and whatever it’s supposed to be for. I realised today for the first time explicitly that what I’m doing with the Friday “Living Culture Coffee Mornings” is most … Continue reading The May 2025 instance of the Living Culture Coffee Morning →

Nick Booth (1965-2025)

2025/04/16

I was going to write something on Facebook, but Nick was a blogger and so this belongs here. I heard this afternoon that my dear friend Nick Booth died yesterday after a fall at the weekend. It’s not right. It shouldn’t be like this. We ought to have been celebrating his 60th birthday next month. … Continue reading Nick Booth (1965-2025) →

Very first audioblog (20th April 1970)

2025/04/01

This was just sitting waiting to be published for almost 55 years. Those who’ve heard my more recent (ie since 2004) podcasting will recognise the roots of my presenting style. As far as I can tell, it was recorded on the same day as the picture was taken. Script assistance by “Mummy”. Sound Engineer: “Daddy”. … Continue reading Very first audioblog (20th April 1970) →

I’m on the train to London and trying out Wordland on my iPad. All seems good. The editor box is left-aligned rather than centred, but I can live with that – maybe it’s an update that I haven’t noticed because I haven’t logged out on my desktop machine yet 🙂 I’m doing another round of … Continue reading Friday, 7th March 2025 →

Ugh, the end of last week and the weekend were wiped out by norovirus. No more details necessary. I think there’s a long-running series that will emerge here called “I’m not retired but…” because although I’m still doing lots of interesting work, I also have started taking my Audit Commission pension which doesn’t even pay … Continue reading Wednesday, 5th March 2025 →

When I was a kid, you'd see people who lived with paralysis or muscle-weakness as a result of contracting polio. The vaccine was first introduced in the UK in the mid-fifties and by the time I was born, at the end of 1964, we were all getting it on sugar cubes. So when I asked … Continue reading Thursday, 27th February 2025 →

Another day, another new app. Today I saw that Flashes is available in the iOS app store. It is supposed to be to Bluesky what Insta is to Threads, kind of. But it doesn't have a separate timeline – so if I post a picture with the app using my main bsky account all of … Continue reading Tuesday , 25th February 2025 →

Dipping a toe into the Wordland water. It's warmer than expected. The first thing I notice is nothing to do with the product itself, rather how ugly and cluttered my WordPress template has become. It's one of those things you don't like to think about too much. I made it less cluttered, but it still … Continue reading Monday, 24th February 2025 →

Drawn Without Looking: Hard Art

Perfect Path ·

2024/05/28

Since the end of 2022, I’ve been part of this thing called Hard Art, a collective working on cultural responses to all the things we’re facing right now, but particularly various climate-related ugh-nesses. Over the last year, as a kind of ice-breaker, people have made blind contour line portraits in pairs and then amazing artist/musician … Continue reading Drawn Without Looking: Hard Art →

Personal and Communal Responsibility

Perfect Path ·

2024/05/28

Citations galore needed but… Keir Starmer is quoted as saying there’s an “anti-politics mood” at the moment (as we move towards a General Election in the UK). I don’t believe there’s an anti-politics mood, but I understand why professional politicians see it like that, because they believe that politics is only what politicians and activists … Continue reading Personal and Communal Responsibility →

On. Those. Trays. # The Chamberlain Memorial and Birmingham Town Hall, from a car park between Chamberlain Square and Gt Charles St, showing the partly demolished buildings believed to be the Mason Science College (later to be the site of the 1970s Central Library) Tony Davis, 1964, I think. # I spent a little time … Continue reading Wednesday, 13th December 2023 →

I like this format because it reminds me of primary school, where the first thing you had to do was write today’s date at the top of the page. # Today I learned that Stanley Baxter is a) still alive at 97 and b) out of the closet since 2020. # A reminder that the … Continue reading Tuesday, 12th December 2023 →

2023/12/11

Ah me, it’s week 49. # I usually write *something* at the end of the week, but rarely (if ever) manage to publish it. For me, writing is thinking more than it is anything else and giving my thoughts on the week an extra polish in order to share them is usually too much effort. … Continue reading Weeknote 23/49 →
