a statement by 36+ mayors of European cities, incl. #Paris & #Berlin:

"...We, European mayors, condemn in the strongest possible terms the arrest of our colleague Ekrem Imamoğlu, Mayor of #Istanbul, and of local elected representatives in #Turkey.

We denounce his arbitrary imprisonment and... the repeated attacks on fundamental rights and municipal freedoms. These arrests ... mark a new stage in the violation of democratic principles in Turkey..."

It wasn't until I made time for myself to get out into the countryside near my home and take the dog for a walk that I realised how much stress I'd been putting myself under during my team meetup, this week.

Istanbul was enjoyable and fascinating, and I love my team, but I always forget until after the fact how much a few days worth of city crowds can make me feel anxious and trapped.

It's good to get a mile or two from the nearest other human and decompress!

Here in the #UK, #IceCream vans play a little tune (usually #Greensleeves) so you know they're in your neighbourhood.

This week, while visiting #Istanbul, I learned that in #Turkey the water and propane delivery services each also have their own little tunes. And a friend from #India says that his vegetable delivery truck also has its own music.

I feel like we're missing out! Maybe my milkman should play a tune? Or perhaps the couriers who come by could have a song that says, somehow, "we couldn't be bothered ringing your doorbell so you'll find your parcel in your recycling bin"?

Dan Q · Delivery SongsIn the UK, ice cream vans are perhaps the only delivery service with their own jingle. Turkey and India are WAY ahead of us in this regard, and I've got a few ideas about how we fix that...
