Another dystopian Sunday in the London hellscape. Volunteered at junior Parkrun and athletics club, muddy 10km along the river path. Caught Wayne McGregor exhibition on dance & tech at Somerset House, and bumped into fans star-spotting BAFTA red carpet, then watched the show at home.

The RSA ran a competition that led to the invention of a chimney sweeping tool in 1805, the sweepers guild and industry fought it and it took 70 years until sending children up chimneys was properly banned and enforced. Change can be bloody slow

First sunny day in 3 weeks so cycled for a proper look around the V&A in the 'unsafe' hellhole of London, after a chatty Parkrun with local running club friends. Busy & buzzing with a whiff of Spring. Only unsafe thing - cars and their drivers.
