  6. I’m on my way home after a really nice and inspiring #MPDEE #conference in #Leicester. I think my talk was a success but it’s kind of sad to think about how many hours I spend preparing it...

    So, just in case you want to learn about #EvolutionaryRescue and it’s counterpart, #EvolutionaryMurder, please let me know, I would be happy to recycle those slides for another occasion!

  7. Activists break into #Leicester factory owned by Israeli firm #ElbitSystems
    'People Against Genocide' members abseil through roof of #UAVTacticalSystems, owned by the #UK subsidiary of Israel's largest defence company

    According to a media group, the #activists used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing to enter the premises.

    After occupying the roof, they drilled holes into it and then abseiled into the building.

    The Aftershock reported that the ceiling of the clean room, where Israeli #drone parts are reportedly made, was broken. It said that such contamination of the clean room could knock it out of use for some months.

    One of the activists involved said: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this #genocide that #Israel is committing on the #Palestinian people."

    🔥 Des militants viennent de descendre en rappel dans l'usine d'armement #Elbit à #Leicester #UK !

    Ils affirment que la "salle blanche" a été contaminée, ce qui pourrait mettre l'usine hors service pendant des mois.

    🔥 4 militants de "People Against #Genocide" occupent le toit d'une usine de #drones israélienne à #Leicester #UK

    L'équipe a échappé à la sécurité de l'usine d' armement et a utilisé des échelles pour s'élever au-dessus des clôtures en fil de fer barbelé, accédant ainsi au toit de l'usine, afin de faire fermer #elbit .

  15. I’m on my way to the #MPDEE #conference in #Leicester now, going by #train, 6 trains in total, first 3 trains with #DB. First train was on time, but packed with drunken people. First beer already spilled. Wish me luck…

  16. I’m preparing my talk for the #MPDEE #conference next week in #Leicester. Who else is coming? Please say hi, I’m very much looking forward to meeting you!

  17. I dare not look out the curtains - the wind is fierce and I think i can hear rain battering on the window,
    If this is correct then I hope the weather god's realise their mistake pretty quickly.

    The Petanque club is due to be reopening today and I've planned to cycle down there.
    The council have restored the electricity to the clubhouse although there are new problems with water to the men's toilets.
    The committee have decided on a grand reopening at lunchtime today. The bar will be open and there's cut price crisps & chocolate (I suspect they're extremely short dated!).
    It'll be good to get my chucking arm moving again - particularly Asim in a league match on Wednesday.

    Sacha wants the car to visit one of her pals (and it is her car after all) so I'll take my eBike to the club at Western Park.

    But I want it to be dry!

    I hope your weather gods are more compliant than mine today.

    A family in Leicester heard scratching noises coming from the walls of their garage on Easter Sunday and…

  19. Here's the Leicester Curve Theatre seen from the path through St George's churchyard

  20. The audience here at #leicester Curve Theatre is 80% female as you might expect.
    The females are of all ages, but the men are all older.
    Why are there so many children (girls) here? It's not a family story, and the songs are all old by now. It doesn't make sense to me!

  22. Good morning.
    I'm not feeling it today.

    After a bright start the weather is glooming over, as forecast.

    We're going to see Mamma Mia at Leicester Curve this afternoon with our daughter.
    She's supposed to be getting here in time for an early lunch.

    I'm not keen on going out - but then I always say that. I just find these theatre trips, that my wife so enjoys, a relentless slog.
    There's so much I dislike about going to the theatre that I'm not sure where to start - and it's rarely balanced out by the enjoyment.

    It'll be fine by bedtime.
    I'm just a miserable old goat.
