A glimmer of London summer
— A rare chance of some good weather during a short visit to London.”
We took a train down to London recently to visit J’s sister.
It turned out to be a rare hot weekend in the midst of this disastrously wet summer.
Richmond and London
August in sweaty old London, but hot streets and long shadows worked out pretty cool.
Sisters. As if one wasn’t bad enough, when in London, one has to cope with two!

Who you gonna call?
Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.
I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.
I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.
Shameless self-promotion
Over a year in the making, Dopeology.org is my latest personal project: a topology of doping in thirty years of European pro road cycling.
I collected information from thousands of sources, then I modelled and published it via a lightweight user interface.
