If all goes to plan in 2025, I should get a great deal further East and Up.

Snow.

Large clumps of wet snow following on directly behind a downpour of rain. Settling briefly on darker coloured cars.

This might be the earliest snow in London in a long time. I don’t recall any earlier in the last 40-someting years.

The end.

I was an early adopter of twitter; I had a three character user name. I made friends on Twitter, I mourned friends passing on Twitter.

I’ve been elsewhere for a couple of years. I made the twitter account private, but didn’t delete the content. I suppose I was hoping sane hands would take over – similar to how Flickr has developed over the years. I have talks and websites and publications that link to twitter, I can’t edit those. That was my excuse.

Fuck that.

It’s gone.

Deleting a significant fraction of my digital life.
