But patients and their families are being immediately met with unreliable/disjoint public transport, lack of safe active travel options, and increasing bus/rail fares. And these fares are going up while investment in public/active travel isn't!

Weβre excited to share that the electric bike for our Liberton Brae Teens+ Centre has now been delivered. The smile on our students' faces tells exactly how impactful this will be for themβ¨
Three arrangements of driftwood on Portobello Beach. One a large nest of wood balanced atop a single branch, another looks like a sailing boat. The third may just be a log to sit on, not sure. Looking out to sea, Berwick Law just visible on the horizon.

A trio of Robert Tinney illustrated magazine covers: Floppy Disk, Software Piracy, Smalltalk Balloon
I wrote a tribute for BYTE Magazine's amazing cover artist, Robert Tinney, who died Feb 1st
Tinney painted 80 vivid and surreal covers illustrating various concepts in early personal computing from 1978-1990, usually airbrushed with gouache. May he RIP β€οΈ

Looking out to sea from Porty Beach. Couple of dog walkers in the foreground. Messy white breaking swell. There are a couple of folk on boards trying to surf it.
Ain't no surf in Portobello!

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientistβbecause the person felt she did didnβt deserve the recognition.

That image is at least 11 years old.
One bus appears to be stuck behind a car parked in a loading bay blocking the bus lane, while on the other side a taxi with its magic parking lights on is blocking a lane. Plus ca change!

Exterior of what was The Beaten Docket pub in Portobello. Signs of major renovation underway.
Signs of a new pub for #Porty. "Dougal's - an old man pub for all ages' it says in the window. This has previously been 'The Beaten Docket', which closed at the end of 2023.

As a former South Morningside parent I'm really proud of the girls football team for winning an Edinburgh-wide tournament but even prouder that they stood up for themselves when presented with a tiny trophy in stark contrast to the one awarded to the winning boys

Edinburgh LS have long since gone rogue. Continuous footways (with or without cycle tracks) done well is more complex than some would realise (because there are network-level issues) and we don't have UK guidance (yet).
However, too many folks concentrate on what they are against, but won't
