Late Life Crisis - December 2024

No worse a fate can befall a man than when his exercise activity stops downloading  from his Apple Watch to his Strava app on the I Phone. Perturbation; anxiety; and concern that followers may fear over what has happened to the athlete. But in I Phone world it's ok, as long as you can get to an Apple Store. There they have friendly tech experts who can sort you out in an instant.

So off I go one bright morning to the Apple Store at the top of Regent Street, where the smiley sales assistants help you shed molto moolah on the latest Apple innovation. 

Late Life Crisis - July 2023

It's fun researching the area where you live. Am slightly late with publishing July's effort, due to preparing a talk for the Camden Local Studies and Archives centre at Holborn Library. 'From Fields to Focaccia' looks at Kentish Town, an underappreciated part of North London. I've been asked to repeat the talk at Kentish Town Library in the Autumn. 

That's the nearest I've got to a commercial in writing this stuff.

I sat and watched with mounting anger, ultimately uttering an expletive as erstwhile CEO Paula Vennells, resplendent in her part-time vicar's dog collar, read from the Bible. It was almost time for a vom.
