#BISHOPSGATE: all quiet on the Eastern Front. #london

12:00 AM

#IDER: a cracking bunch of songs but not a lot of performance to go with them. Hard to get these songs onto a stage without an expensive band to help, but a decent gig courtesy of the gentleman @wingsofaduff - very good songs, great voices. #gig #pop #london

11:56 PM

#POETINDACORNER: unfortunately they managed to take a whole bunch of my favourite things and make a rather boring play, with moments of fun and good writing. Trying to turn the theatre into a grime gig was cheap and trite. One to avoid, I should think. #theatre #london #grime #dizzeerascal

#BOREDSKATERS: I’ve seen some stupid-ass moves in my time but flying down these @royalfestivalhall steps and sliding into the edge of an opened plate-glass door is up in the top five. Picture taken shortly before being chased away by security. #skateboarder #fuckwit #london #streetphotography

#THEWELKIN: excellent show 7/10, great performances from most of the cast and some great writing from #LucyKirkwood, although the energy petered out a bit in the final twenty minutes, and story felt pointless, but well worth it for the previous 2 hours 40. Note: injection of the Kate Bush song is as stupid as a soup sandwich and wrecked the suspension of disbelief. Top work from #MaxinePeake after the meh #Avalanche and brilliantly unsympathetic amoral lead played by #RiaZimitrowicz #theatre #london

Always worth looking back on this stretch of the Thames on a morning like this. Lucky me.

#HIGHTIDE: the #Thames is still tidal at this point, a few hundred metres from #TeddingtonLock, and flooding from the non-stop rain the last week is widespread. Next picture shows the #river has breached its bank. #landscape #flooding #london #richmond

#CHRISTMASDAY: Saw Nick from @anglers.tw11 a couple of weeks ago and he suggested we stop by after he finished work today, so we wandered over to see him and walk the dog. Lovely day. And stopped at the #BMX track nearby in #HamLands on the way back. So lucky. Merry Christmas Ye Sapiens, whenever you are. #london #richmond #lucky

#MAKERLAB: Ian chats with Ian. Both of these fine folks helped me fix my little project. I am always impressed with the knowledge and kindness of everyone at #richmondmakerlab. The details are outstanding. Ian on the left told me tales from his past of repairing CD Players as I was attempting to restore one myself, and his tip about blobs if solder being used in transit to protectively short the circuit came in handy later that evening when I had to detach a zero-ohm resistor on an SSD1322 display. Best #Makerlab in #London. #makers

#DIVINEMADNESS: and that explorer hat is being held up @wingsofaduff who is in full #NightBoatToCairo garb and stuck to the barriers - good on yer matey #madness #london #gig
