For the last 7-8 months I’ve been watching th twice weekly YouTube updates of an incredible Dutch woman motorcycle explorer whose channel is called Itchy Boots, and I’ve got to say I’ve learned so much about bits of the world that I had no idea about. In her current series she started in southern Pakistan, rode up through that country, out to the mountainous north east and then west into [gulp] Afghanistan. That leg alone was compelling viewing. She then moved north..

How many volatile excursions in gas and oil prices will it take for the world’s governments to decide that accelerated widespread adoption of renewables and transport electrification are not just “optional net zero tree hugger stuff” but serious economic strategy and national security imperatives. Countries have been hooked on imported energy whose price they don’t control. Even 10 years ago that was still a necessity but there is less and less excuse now and we all ought to quit the addiction.

I’m enjoying this wonderful documentary about the two lovely creative men who brought us the likes of Ivor the Engine, Bagpuss and The Clangers (to name but three). Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, making teatime TV entertainment in an old stable with hand painted sets and gorgeous characters voiced by them both. They really don’t make them like them any more.

Has anyone thought to thank the people of Gorton and Denton for voting for the decent option closest to the area’s historical values?

Yesterday someone asked me privately for links to reviews of my book Trans Britain. Whilst searching I came across this detailed long form review from 2021, which I’d never seen before. I found it very interesting because it reveals to me what the writer got from looking at the structure and correctly determining what I was doing as editor. As it describes the book rather well I thought I’d share it more widely.

It’s the middle of LGBT History Month so a good moment to remind everyone that my book, Trans Britain — a modern history fashioned from the observations of generations of contributors — is still going strong in paperback and eBook form in its ninth year. It’s got a new publisher this year and you can buy it in online stores or from queer bookshops like QueerLit and Gays The Word. Hive makes a great ethical alternative to Amazon. https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Ms-Christine-Burns/Trans-Britain--Our-Journey-from-the-Shadows/23931110

Today I learned that Number 10 has/had a Director of Communications.
Who knew?!!
Seriously… Who could possibly have guessed that?

The weirdest excavator I’ve ever seen! I think they’re referred to as spiders and they can lift each leg independently and widen or narrow their track whilst the cabin does a full 360. There must be a temptation for the driver to play all day. One was in action this week, clambering down into the bed of the breached Llangollen Canal to help dig out narrowboats that had been washed into the void.
