Thames is very high. Lapping over the waterfront in Greenwich.

I wonder if the only thing that will happen with ⁦Thames Water 💧⁩ closing this path is the date will change on the ‘expect to finish’. Must have been like that for 18 months or so. Date changed 6 months ago. Completely blocks path. Is there a cost with this?

Press release from California warning about 'toxic positivity' in the workplace, where people seem to be 'relentlessly happy'. They've really seen us. On this freezing cold day in January when everyone's broke after Christmas. Really seen us.

Beautifully understated bit of writing from a lost world. Corrie from 1967.

No more melancholy January sight than seeing Christmas trees laid out to be taken away. All those dreams going into the dustcarts.
