Great to see an exhibition opening tonight that made use of the space in Thames-Side Studios Gallery. This was Chimera, the end of year show by artists on the MASS Sculpture Programme 2024/25. Some lovely eye catching work. Especially the fab tree house created by my new BFF Jeremy of @rootandshoot who just happened to have a copy of he and his kids favorite graphic novel inside. (No spoilers - answer in the photos.) #thamessidestudios #art #chimera #masshq #greenwich #graphicnovels #london

I almost posted this #gate for the "Fences" photo prompt this week, but then thought that it's better for #Doorsday. Yes, it's not a real #door, but you can walk through, which qualifies in my eyes. 😛 And it's pretty, regal, and old, just like the rest of the #OldRoyalNavalCollege in #Greenwich 👑

Drove through the Blackwall Tunnel to Greenwich and back to Islington yesterday.

South of the river it's all 30MPH speed limits and everything feels too fast and scary compared to the sedate and pedestrian-friendly 20MPH limits in the north.

Since I last went through it, it seems the Blackwall tunnel has added a toll.

The TFL website for setting up to pay the tolls is absolutely awful. Failed in Librewolf, Failed in Firefox. Failed because VPN. Took me four attempts in three different browsers to get it to take payment card details.

Demands *no* special characters in the password?!? And doesn't even tell you what the specific problem with the password is, just "doesn't meet the rules above"

Uses awful validation questions like "mothers maiden name". Bad enough practice to use them at all, but the "memorable date" question restricts to ddmmyy format so you can't even put in a date from outside this century.

For some reason asks for a PIN and and Password both!? Pointless. Then actually refuses the login form if you supply both!?

Setting up the auto-payment doesn't seem to have covered the charges added to the registration plate yesterday, so had to do the payment-details entering yet again to deal with yesterday's charges.

Email validation message contains the link only in the HTML of the email, not the text version, so viewed in Mutt it has no link.

And this all seems to be separate from the Dartford Crossing charge, which had a less crappy but still pretty crappy signup.

Good god council programmers suck at web-dev.

Further to the @goldsmithsuol @mediacomgold event organised with David Floyd and Tabitha Stapely, interesting public discussion with Greenwich Wire's Darryl Chamberlain and Dorothy Stein of Salamander in Lewisham during Public Interest News Foundation's Indie News Week 2025. How to make sure #Greenwich and #Lewisham do not become local news deserts? So many of us care to know what's happening where we live. Let's support #local #journalism.

I'm genuinely SO excited about the new ocean map that will be at the heart of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich when this hall reopens on June 7th. It's an unusual ocean-focussed map with so much detail, and it's just brilliant. 🌊🌊 Below is a video sneak peak.

And if you're anywhere near Greenwich, do bring your family to the excellent (and free) World Ocean Day event on June 7th - there will be loads to see and do.

quick test of some Winsor and Newton watercolour promarkers I’ve had since winter, on watercolour paper, and with a bit of blue ink wash here and there from Winsor and Newton blue drawing ink brushed around with a Derwent waterbrush

I think they’re interesting, but don’t give me much of an advantage over just normal watercolour with brushes, but I’ll have to give them another try – I’ve only got a limited range of colours, mostly earths of various values, nothing much else, so they can be used up that way eventually

They’re probably good if you don’t have any watercolour gear at all, or want to do promarker work but with the option to water it down and blend wet in wet-ish (it’s a bit too strident for that, you see the mark you’ve laid despite watering it down heavily) anyway, this was first try, so maybe a few more in future – ideal for mixed media stuff I suppose #Art #WatercolourMarker #Ink #Waterbrush #RiverThames #RoyalWharf #Greenwich

Saw various different cars on several occasions stopped dead in the road near #greenwich park recently. Only just realised this time around why it was, when the driver put away his phone and did a U-turn — they’d been stopped right before the cameras for the new low traffic neighbourhood.
