@lucia__busso Very nice. Yes about the fog (a little outside Birmingham).

@lucia__busso I bet it's drier though ⛈⛈⛈

Nothing But Thieves viewing the crowd. Loud!

@AnnieBHeini I'm not averse to wearing a hat in my "home office". I try to remember to take it off for Teams meetings ...

Hot-water-bottle-in-the-lap-season is upon us

@timgrant123 Oh yes! The Lakes?

Watching the Big River Severn (theriverstrust.org/take-action/th…). Very healthy, but perhaps not the best spot for fauna.

@jackthurston This is a beautiful thing! Just convinced my daughters to buy it for me, and looking forward to meandering through it (and the routes) alongside the Wales and Borders one (in progress :-) )

Excellent keynote at Interspeech. Motivation to follow the road less traveled.

Glad to be in Dublin for the first time, returning to Interspeech, catching up with friends and putting faces to names!

Cheeky blast-from-the-past cycle commute in the sun!

@timgrant123 yes indeed!

:-( it turns out that Bromptons are not everlasting, after all. This one's "only" 23ish years old.

At Aston (AIFL): advertising for a Research Projects and Strategy Manager. Responsibility for supporting complex projects, for managing the bidding pipeline, and for developing new opportunities. Closing date 17 March.

ChatGPT says I'm a human - yay! (but can't justify it when pressed - boo!) It says I shouldn't cheat (good) but is confident that my adviser could detect it (hmm). It has given me some good insights for my current assignment (oh dear!)

@MattBugg What an office, though, to fit that in!

We've got an office clear out in progress. My Chief Exec knew we were picking up a couple of sofas to go in our church hall, so offered the one from his office. It's almost a of it was made for our hall

@WestMidRailway What is the penalty fare for "sorry the train is cancelled but we're not going to bother putting on any alternative service" and/or "the next train will only have 2 carriages"?

To help prevent ticketless travel, Penalty Fares from today have increased to £100 (plus the price of the full single fare applicable). You can buy tickets via our website, ticket offices, ticket vending machines, or our app. For full info visit > orlo.uk/HRZyT
