Arrival

I'm on a (Parisian) Boat

Somehow, I feel that I deserve more than the usual Foursquare badge for getting this one in Paris:

Meandering down Exeter memory lane

Today has been something of a stroll down memory lane. I'm in Exeter for a conference (which I'm busy blogging), but it's taken me to places from one of the most important few days of my life. For example, the hotel where this morning's immersive session was held:

That'll be the hotel that Lorna and I were staying in the weekend we got engaged. And the restaurant for the lunch session?

Yes, it's where we ate the evening of the day I proposed.

The Cathedral I proposed in front of? 

Under renovation. There's probably a metaphor there somewhere… :-)

A New Traffic Light Feature?

Interesting new road safety feature at the crossing near Holborn station:

It counts down the number fo seconds until the traffic starts flowing again.

I must admit, my first reaction to these, as I headed in search of a sandwich, was disbelief - do we actually need these countdowns? And then, I remembered the number of rather horrible accidents I've seen from the EG office, including watching the police setting up a tent over, presumably, a mangled body, while I was in a meeting in the publisher's office.

Maybe we do need them.

Journey to Hamburg

Random iPhone photographs from my journey last night:

 

Fear of Flying course from Virgin. Admittedly, people trying to blow up aircraft isn't helping...
