Tochterkind und ich verbringen ab Mitte nächster Woche ein paar Kultur Tage in London. Wir fahren dorthin mit dem Zug. Brutto ist die Reisezeit nicht viel länger als geflogen. Dafür kann ich auf dem Weg nach Brüssel und dann im Eurostar, quatschen, Kaffee und alkoholfreies trinken. Vegane Currywurst essen und wir kommen 15 Min. Tube vom Hotel an. (25 Min. zu Fuß) da beginnt der Urlaub schon bei der Anreise.

Frau muss das 18j Katzenkind zu Hause betüdeln.

The Poodle Club, Sydenham to Up the Creek, Greenwich. A lovely double up on a Saturday night. From 30 audience members to over 180 people. The same material, but two very different performances. Already looking forward to the next time I'm at either club 😊 #sydenham #greenwich

Here's a #postcard of #Woolwich Polytechnic. Founded in 1891, it is now the University of #Greenwich

Woolwich Polytechnic focused on technical education, particularly aimed at the big local employers: the royal dockyards and the Royal #Arsenal at Woolwich. This is the same Arsenal which spawned the football team, now north of the river

Apologies for the v short notice but tonight’s planned speaker for #Greenwich #Skeptics in the pub has had to cancel due to Covid. So, instead of a talk on the fight to eradicate rabies, I’ll be giving a talk on 20 years of weird science at Goldsmiths. Apologies for any inconvenience. #skepticism #psychology #paranormal

Final reminder! Next up at #Greenwich #Skeptics in the Pub: Dr Emma Taylor on the fight to eradicate rabies at 7:30pm on 11/4/23 at Davy’s Wine Vaults. Free, open to all, no need to book - and feel free to bring your pooch!

#Greenwich Town Hall and civic complex is one of the best town halls of the 30s, projecting the new power of the state as organised, no-nonsense, caring and fun -- there's an assembly hall as part of it. Designed by Clifford Culpin & Partners with obvious influence from #Dudok's Hilversum Town Hall. Steel-framed so these bricks (what's that bond?) are a skin; but the building projects solidity. London's best Dutch modernist building? #FensterFreitag #ArchitecturalHistory

Ecopoetries: wonderful readings by Zoë Skoulding, Harriet Tarlo and Frances Presley at University of #Greenwich last night, organised by Emily Critchley. (I had never been to this place on a school day -- young people in groups, uncertainly inhabiting a major Baroque complex. It feels good.) Links to the poets' websites here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ecopoetries-centre-for-research-on-language-culture-heritage-tickets-596911046007?fbclid=IwAR3EwuK35vldND9e35XQUDxve4ks2Qo0gb9RTh_S5kAsyEW7RLN0tJTe744

Next up at #Greenwich Skeptics in the Pub: Dr Emma Taylor on the battle to eradicate rabies: “Let sleeping dogs lie” at 7:30 pm on 11/4/23 at Davy’s Wine Vaults. All welcome, free, no need to book - and feel free to bring your pooch (if rabies free). #rabies #science
