A positive #ClosePass story for once. Eight of us riding in a neat group were close-passed yesterday. Happily the car was then caught in traffic so we had a word with the driver. He then passed us again at a very safe distance. It's worth speaking out!

stumbled across this old article about #inboxzero. I've done this for years. Noxothing in my inbox atm; all sorted, done or delegated (despite getting loads per day like everyone else.) Am I weird? How many emails in your inbox? theguardian.com/technology/202…

Finally plucked up the courage to #forage some mushrooms from the local woods. There are all sorts there but some of them looked exactly like field mushrooms. Checked them against some ID guides and went for it. Lovely.

What a visual metaphor for the ongoing war-for-the-motorist: a Conservative advertising truck protesting against 20mph limits which is completely blocking a pavement.
