Bus travel is free, as bullshits to us a city bus company Stagecoach which takes 3 GBP for a single 4-miles fare and skips maybe half of scheduled rides. #CambridgeUK

Wow, that's messed up, expensive trainings about how to be a friend. From a leading expert, no less. But then many people in #CambridgeUK in my opinion are actually messed up in that they are indifferent to human beings around them and can't into friendship.

#CambridgeUK people might like to know that the busway path is closed in Histon (I assume as far as Orchard Park). The sign said from 9th January for 3 days. I do wish the Council was better at communication about this :-/

Opposite, the moon shines among the treetops lining and crisscrossing over the river Cam. Nature slumbers, awaiting Spring.

Strongly moonlit landscapes right now in the Cambridgeshire. Face south and, under the nearly full moon, you'll see Canis Major, to the right below Orion there's Rygel, to the left below Jupiter is Arcturus. Giant stars, clearly visible even within the city. The night is freezing cold and the air as clear as it gets.

Sunset on New Year’s Day. Cambridge, UK.
May this sunset be clear from the extraordinary nonsense of 2025.

This #chromolithography example shows the inside of the chapel St. John’s College Cambridge. This picture was made around 1840; later, in 1860, the chapel was demolished & replaced with a Victorian Gothic Revival thing by Sir Gilbert Scott.
At least six colours here i think, so 6 plates, although sometimes they overprinted to get mixed colours.

Cherry tomato harvest, November 1st. Cambridge, UK. A grace for Samhain.
Green tomatoes and many flowers optimistically forecast further harvests.

CW: Running, selfie
The best time to find out you've got the beginnings of a cold is certainly not a few hundred metres into a 10K run, when you suddenly find it difficult to breath.
I struggled to my finish in 53:47 in Grantchester this morning, stopping after 2K to do my inhaler. Afterwards, a guy said to me he'd been following me most of the way and I was really pushing it, which helped him get his PB. Different strokes for different folks!

CW: River Cam, UKpol
"City councillor Elliot Tong (Green, Abbey) said: “The River Cam is currently having an existential crisis. Without urgent action, both Jesus Lock island and Baits Bite Lock island will fail. This could significantly lower the water level and expose residents to centuries of filth that has sunk to the bottom of the river after being dumped there."
He put forward a motion to the full council on 24 July calling it to write to the secretary of state now explaining the need for funding for the repairs. His motion also proposed that responsibility for overseeing the River Cam should be transferred to any future unitary authority that covers Cambridge following the planned local government reorganisation.
But an amendment to the motion was put forward by Cllr Martin Smart (Lab, King’s Hedges), removing these points."#RiverCam #CamConservators #GreenParty #GPEW #CambridgeUK #UKpol #UKpolitics #JesusLock #BaitsBiteLock #CambridgeGreens #LocalGovernment #RiverConservation

I've written to my MP to ask him to help this Gazan student be helped into the UK. This is my city and the Cambridge college I attended.

Sixth: "To bee or not to bee", where we mourn the now departed hairy-footed flower bees and the many species of mining bees – see you next Spring –, and welcome a whole new range of bees, awoken at the right time to feast on the pink lampwick, bright yellow fear-leaf yarrow, and deep pink Deutzia bushes. The rooster includes mason bees, leaf-cutter bees, sweat bees, armoured-resin bees, masked bees, and the spectacular European woolcarder bee. The last two kinds are putting in quite the territorial control and mating show.

Fifth: "Fantastic colours on the wing", where we linger on the many beautiful flies that inhabit the college gardens, from beeflies to bright emerald greenbottle flies, hoverflies, dagger flies, assassin flies, and many others, plus the expected set of bees for late April and early May in Cambridge, UK.
(No images because an update to the blogging platform broke functionality needlessly and carelessly – so click on the iNaturalist links to see them.)

As the cattle are back on Midsummer Common in Cambridge, a reminder to dog walkers:
"Dogs should not be allowed to ‘worry’ livestock. This means owners must prevent dogs from attacking [or] chasing livestock" https://www.bluecross.org.uk/advice/dog/wellbeing-and-care/dog-laws-uk

CW: Food, birthdays
Here is @SimoneChalkley' surprise birthday cake at The Seven Stars, a lovely Indian restaurant in Cambridge. It's gajar halwa, made with carrots, milk, sugar, and cardamom, with pistachio on top. It tastes a bit like baklava, but with carrot instead of pastry!

CW: Death, medicine
An awful case of medical negligence at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge led to the death of a baby. A routine vitamin K injection would have saved his life, but it wasn't given though it was recorded as done.

@cabd frankly, I'd gladly abandon #CambridgeUK #MiltonRoad to be the car-clogged hellscape that most of its residents seem to want, if we could have high-quality #cycleways and modal filters on parallel routes each side. But we have none, still. Four half-baked routes from the north edge because #GCP and #CamCitCo never go 100% on any route.

"Local Green councillor and Friends of Paradise vice-chair Jean Glasberg said she did not dispute the need for more postgrad accommodation in Cambridge. “It’s just that this [the nature reserve] is such a special place. And that development is so big, and so close to it”." https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/aug/05/wildlife-lovers-fear-for-nature-reserve-threatened-by-cambridge-university-building
