I open the door onto a new morning in Bellevue WA.

I explore the treehouse meeting rooms on the Microsoft campus in Redmond WA.

I watch sea eagles and take in the sights and sounds of Lake Washington and Mercer Island near Seattle.

I take a break from mowing the lawn to try and fix the strimmer. Gah!

The sounds of the water wheel at Worsbrough Mill Museum. Best with headphones.

Prompted by a meeting with a colleague from the past I think back to simpler, more complicated times, friends lost and found... and Stereolab.

I nip out to catch the opening hour of the second ever #longplayer day, capturing some Lindsay Seers and Rhodri Davies along the way.

I borrow a book from the free outdoor lending library known as Snøhetta Book Pavilion. Smoking shelter meets Parisian pissoir in its look, this brilliant spot actually gives us a place to escape thanks to the National Literacy Trust. Launched during the 2018 London Design Festival. https://snohetta.com/projects/396-snohetta-book-pavilion

I catch my first trip to London on an LNER Azuma train.
