Harlow is the latest council to experiment with a block of SoloHaus one person, prefab, dwellings for the homeless.

After seeing them in Bristol, I'm rather taken by these. And not just for the homeless. Granny flats for elderly parents, self contained dwelling for boomerang kids.

I'd like to see a stackable version of this. Garage/storage space on the ground floor. One person studio above. Roof terrace.

> It is a point stressed by Prof Adam Finn of Bristol University.

> “Five years ago, everyone expected the next pandemic would be flu, and so models assumed we had to shut down schools and keep children at home because they would be the ones spreading disease.

> “That would have been true for flu but it wasn’t for Covid. Young people were not disease spreaders and, wrongly, were kept apart. They paid an unnecessary price because we had made false assumptions.”

Lovely night in the wood with a fire. Not feeling so good this morning ...

This time just before spring feels dead. Very little wild life and the trees are still bare. The alternate droughts and heavy rain mean everything is pretty stressed. And not helped by all the rich bastards with no sense putting up high fences and stock fencing. Even the deer seem to have given up.

What is it about the traveller community that they like having floodlights on all night?

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by post-modernism,
starving, hysterical, bearded,
dragging themselves through the Hackney streets at dawn
looking for just one more tune.
Angelheaded hipsters,
burning for the ancient heavenly connection
to the blacked-out sub in the machinery of the night.

My god; It's full of stars.

Vaguely following the Daytona 200. Difficult from the UK as there's no easy video. Go Cooper & Hickman on the Triumphs.

- Turf

40ml Gin, 40ml Dry Vermouth, 2.5ml Maraschino, 3 dash Orange Bitters, 1.25 Absinthe, olive

Easy on the orange bitters. Doesn't really need it.

Listening: some UKGarage from DJ Chupacabra. Turf Wars.

Take the moral stand. Unilaterally Disarm. And say "No More Nukes". Declare the UK a Nuke Free Zone. And then reap the Disarmament Dividend.

Imagine!

Bring back carbs, air-cooling, kick starts, dynamos, and minimal electronics that will run with the battery replaced by a capacitor.

- And the battery terminals will be reasonably accessible with jump leads. Not buried behind a screwed down cover and surrounded by plastic so you can't get the crocodile clips to stay put.

- So it's virtually impossible to walk away from the bike in daylight with the steering lock and sidelights on, only to return to a bike 4 hours later that won't start the engine. Yeah, I know. Always check. Except every once in a while, you don't.

- And even if you could bump start it (CVT transmission and clutch, no kickstart, hey-ho) the EFI needs a certain minimum charge to boot the computer. This modern life, eh?

How long has this been going on? Nearly as long as camchain adjusters that don't.

- And batteries will actually last more than 5 years and survive more than 4 winters.

- The sidelight switch won't be an infinitesimal click beyond the steering lock but will actually require a separate button press on a lockout. Gah! How hard is this?

When I'm in charge of motorcycle design:-

- alarms won't drain the battery if you don't use the bike for 3 weeks and forget to put it on the trickle charger. Seriously guys, an alarm should run for pretty much forever on it's internal battery. Just taking a small charge when the engine's running.

- Honda and Suzuki will find a regulator supplier that can supply a regulator that actually works and doesn't lead to a small pile of mostly broken batteries that don't really hold a charge any more.

What if the US no longer supply the UK with Nukes? Isn't that the right moment to say, "Enough. No more."

When will the world properly achieve nuclear disarmament? 1-10-100-1000-10k years? And what's stopping us?
http://blog.longnow.org/02015/03/05/richard-rhodes-twilight-of-the-bombs-02010-seminar-flashback/

Why wasn't Trident and UK nuclear disarmament an election issue in 2024? The Greens, Plaid Cymru and the SNP are against Trident. Everyone else, including the LibDems, are pro-Trident.

So, as the glacé cherry of hope meets the contents of the cut glass decanter of amnesia, I see that it's the cocktail hour and time for "A Modern Britain"
