Hey guys has anyone heard of Anthony Bourdain???

There's a real lack of fawning, paint-by-numbers, performatively sincere content online about what a great guy he was despite his flaws and how his TV shows speak specifically to that one persons totally unique view of the world.

My version of fiddling whilst the world burns is adding silly things to my already silly website, and I think on balance that's probably better than watching the news.

I've spent the last month working on a side-project: a documentary history of my house - deeds, censuses, estate maps, newspaper archives. Real archive work too, days in local libraries and record offices, not just a laptop and 400 browser tabs. What a massive nerd. #devon
The 1889 Ordinance Survey Map of the neighbourhood A timeline of the various occupants of the house, starting with the farmer who grazed his cattle on land owned by the Duke of Somerset in the mid-1800s. Fun with type and layout - The page is super text heavy, as you might expect, so I've tried to break it up with varied layout and rhythm to make it a bit less of a slog. The essay itself is really just the tip of the iceberg. I still have lots of evidence to gather and add, and a bunch of side quests to go on.

Love the pre-match coverage of the Cov game being mostly a conversation about Manchester United and then a former Manchester City player being interviewed at some car thing. #PUSB

I’m forever looking for a good coworking space and today I went to a private members library which was glorious and beautiful but I think I’m coming to realise that my job is just not particularly compatible to working in a shared space - I spend a lot of my days on conference calls and I…

Spent some time on the weekend getting my home office sorted and made space for my pride and joy, my Braun SK5 phonosuper record player and radio. I hope I’m in as good a condition as this is when I am 68 years old.

Got half way to the beach before remembering that some thoughtful soul had scheduled an 8am meeting and so here I am, looking at a monitor instead of looking at the sea. Furious.

Kittens! This is Mog and Boots (named after Mogadishu and Djibouti) after Antananarivo died earlier this year it was time for some new furry pals. My son is in charge of naming and obviously has a thing for African cities. They’re so small 😱

Decamped to my local coffee place to work for a bit and as I sat down My Favourite Girl by King Creosote came on. One of my all time faves. I was just thinking about it last night. Theres even a bad cover of it on my soundcloud. So serendipitous. ❤️

Once again let down by no one bothering to sever the deep-sea communications cables before I had to go back to work after a fortnight off. Rude.

If I was going to write a think piece about why I hate competitive cycling despite loving cycling it would be something along the lines of how it has become exactly like formula one in being all about platforming corporations and appealing to the tastelessness of the rich and the aspirationally so.

Pretty happy with how the camping setup has worked out this year, and that it isn’t a garish abomination. The Element also continues to just be the best car for this kind of trip. #hondaelement

Hey guys, I don’t recommend getting a fever just before you go camping during a heatwave and then being unable to sleep, eat or do very much of anything at all and then as your fever (hopefully) subsides you are left with every muscle in your core sore from shaking like a shitting dog for two days.

Got this ad on instagram this morning and the photo looked super familiar and it turns out that’m is because I took it. 😂

Nailed the early morning beach timings today. Grabbed a chair from the car and had a read. This is 41.
8 Aug
There was a lot of sea and sky this morning, but also a lot of people. Gonna have to start getting out earlier to avoid the throngs of tourists over the summer. My contemplative morning observations of the sea aren’t quite as contemplative when there are hundreds of people making a racket.

Well I really liked the Odyssey.

In many ways it reminded me of the 7 years I spent working at Deliveroo. 😂

A friend asked what my My Life in Five songs would be and I’ve thought about it almost constantly for the last three days and this is the answer:

Obviously it’s awful that the road across Slapton Ley towards Torcross is still closed to traffic after the winter storms, but being able to ride, scoot and walk down here without cars zooming past at 50mph is undeniably an improvement, even when the storm clouds are approaching. #Devon

I've been working on a new silly side-project called Covert Stories which is a set of notebooks posing as political non-fiction where the joke is that there's nothing inside. Perfect Christmas gift for boomer uncles :D

They're not quite ready yet, but should be available to buy soon.

How was your morning I spent mine excavating, exposing and then clambering down and cleaning a sewer inspection chamber so if I die of dysentery you’ll know why.
23 Jul
God I’m exhausted. A whole week of shitty sleep and 4-5am starts has beaten me.
19 Jul
Shame for Emi Martinez, the absolute shithouse knobhead. Imagine losing the World Cup final and then also having to go back to Aston Villa. 🤣

Yamal should just retire now. He’s completed football before his 20th birthday. Unreal.

“José de San Martín, Juan Manuel Fangio, Diego Armando Maradona, Carlos Gardel, Eva Perón, Lionel Messi, Jorge Luis Borges, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento - can you hear me, Argentina? Can you hear me? Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!”
19 Jul
First time I’ve ever been happy to see Romesh Ranganathan pop up on screen.
19 Jul
Maybe this will be the thing that brings us and the Argentinians together. A shared hatred for whatever in the name of all that is shit that the Americans are subjecting us to.

I’d rather watch Eurovision sober than this absolute dross.

How are they not all deeply embarrassed?!
19 Jul
Why are we listening to the American anthem? Have FIFA reinstated them to play in the final? Has Balogun been given the golden boot? Does Messi get to play for the US now because he once transited through Dallas?

As much as I would never say this I do actually think that being a morning person makes me morally superior to anyone who isn’t a morning person.

It’s 10:24.

I’ve been up for five hours.

What have you done today? Nothing.

What have I done? Also nothing but in *double* the time.

Amsterdam
Fukuoka
Tokyo
Wellington
Kyoto

QUESTION: What are your FIVE favourite cities anywhere in the world? Bonus points for persuasive explanations why your choices are “right.” Mine (in no order) are: Paris Barcelona New York Montreal Vancouver

At least now I won’t have to work so hard to avoid the 30 minute long Chris Martin half time shambles during the final. I hated this World Cup.
15 Jul
So they’re saying that aside from the 3 minute ad break there were no other stoppages. Okay then.

Good of Jordan Henderson to be in full kit just incase we need him to come on second half with his broken arm. #NORENG

I get that when the World Cup is in interesting places that the TV coverage has a bit of a duty to introduce people to those places and tell us interesting stories about them, but do we really need Roy Keane doing punditry whilst sitting on reproduction steel beam high up above Manhattan?
