A shorter photowalk today, ticking off the stretch between Walthamstow Central and Chingford
First bit - from Walthamstow Central, through the village and on to Wood Street.

Walking the tube update
An update on my walks along the route of the tube. The map below shows what I’ve covered so far.
Rather dauntingly, it also shows all the bits I haven’t walked yet.
Some of the map will be completely impractical to do (for example, unless you go way out of your way, it’s difficult to cross the eastern end of the Thames on foot), but I want to see how much I can cover before I get bored or my legs fall off.
2 February update: I made a start on the London Overground today. First Walthamstow Queens Road to Gospel Oak on the Goblin line, then Gospel Oak round to Hackney Central. After that, I flipped over to Hackney Downs and back to Walthamstow Central.

On Monday I walked the length of the London Underground’s Victoria line.
Happy 2023! Using Sunlit to test uploading video of the fireworks over my little corner of north east London. #HappyNewYear 🎆🎇

Apple really need to learn a thing or two about sharing from Spotify.
Replay is Apple’s take on Spotify’s Wrapped, but the only way I could figure out how to share mine was to do a screen record.
Anyway, here it is:

This is a test to see whether Sunlit is correctly saving my alt text.
Oh blimey. #spurs ⚽️
Alt: Spurs defending a free kick.
Lolz
Alt: sign outside a pub saying ‘kick off times: Leeds 3pm, spurs 4pm’
I always love the look of this old curry house that I go past on my commute to the office.
Alt text, because I’m not sure the Sunlit app is correctly saving them: A grubby old curry house standing alone. The old fashioned shades on the two upstairs windows give the building the look of a face.
He’s like a despotic medieval king getting wound up by the jester’s jokes.
Is there a German word for that mixed up feelings of delight watching a company blow up in a egotist’s face, and sadness thinking about the poor employees?

Singing ‘don’t stop it, moquette’ to the tune of Herbie Hancock’s Rockit. #ElizabethLine 🚇
Checked out Bond Street on the Elizabeth line, innit. 🚇
Looks like quite a nasty fire in the flats by South Grove, #walthamstow #e17
Playing with the #bazaart app again 🎨
