I had a chat with the brilliant @davidolusoga.bsky.social

Three hours into the race somebody has dropped. We don’t know who, we don’t know where they are, and we have no idea when they’ll be back, but someone definitely has dropped. #BM100

I ran out of characters so didn't say that the new gate has the old gate's DO NOT BLOCK GATE sign on it. #BM100

This year's #BM100 has a new temporary yellow gate. There's no #AltText on the quoted post so I'll describe it as a relatively narrow gate, ie the kind wide enough for a pedestrian rather than a vehicle, made out of yellow round section metal with 6 horizontal bars. It is tied to a tree!

After a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 6:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100

Was that you who just got a mention on The World Tonight?

Walking in Bradwell.

I've only seen this at 10pm but let me know if you're still stuck and I'm your closest hope of rescue!

This was so so cringeingly difficult to sit through and you only picked out the "brief" "highlights". My heart goes out to those poor people who had to sit in that room for the whole thing. 😢

Indeed. 🙁

At last, the end is in sight!

Hi Jen

Yes, the build is going well ..... if slow!

I hit a design snag with the bed but have found a way around. I'm currently researching brackets so I can attach it to the floor. I'll be going out to Screwfix later.

I think I spend too much time thinking rather than doing. 😄

I have just presented Celtic's 1967 European trophy to Stenhousemuir. Thank you for your attention to this utter bullshit. 💚

It's a shame that there've been no official updates on the @spinerace.bsky.social Bluesky.

I'm having to use an anonymous Instagram viewer as I don't have an instagram account. Even just a couple of text updates a day would be great. They'd bridge across to Mastodon too.

I feel like I've known my version since I was in Junior School. I'm guessing that the Two Ronnies, or someone similar from that era, did a version which was adapted in localities across the country.

It's a shame, but not a surprise, to see the Mail's negative report on this positive, much needed appointment.

The proportion of non-religious personnel grows year-by-year. Access to non-religious pastoral support is a step forward in respecting and supporting everyone.

I haven't decided about a heater yet but I've explored options. I've planned my USB sockets and solar. My head is bursting with ideas but I need to prioritise them!

That was with another group of ex colleagues. Liverpool, Everton, Marine, Bury, Vauxhall Motors, Warrington Town and, of course, Tranmere Rovers.

We decided that modern top fight football is rubbish and everyone would be happier watching non-league. I agreed (as long as that isn't TRFC again!)

Ha ha! Thanks Jen. Most of what I've done so far has been destructive, ie removing carpet and trim. I've now got to start being creative and making things. Hopefully I'm keeping my ambition reined in. It's good fun, though, and I'm not rushing so I should be able to do a reasonable job. 🤞

Ah, that makes sense. A positive guideline was twisted, by some, into a negative limit.

I don't think I want to understand, thank you!

A poor quality photograph of a bird of prey, probably a Sparrowhawk, standing amongst a mass of white and grey feathers. It's between the lower branches of a Laurel Bush.

Bluesky interpreted my Mastodon Content Warning as "Graphic" and didn't display the photo.

The video is a bit more graphic. 😬

First-ever humanist pastoral carer in the UK Armed Forces The UK Armed Forces has sworn in its first-ever non-religious pastoral carer. Dr Neil Weddell has been appointed a ‘chaplain’ in the Army and started in the role on 23 June, has already helped many pe...

Fantastic news. The UK Armed Forces has sworn in its first-ever non-religious pastoral carer, a groundbreaking appointment making possible full inclusion and equality for all who serve. Well done Neil!

Yes, Bromley. We drew but at least it was after looking like we would lose!

I've left a 5 star review for my Evri courier today. He worked around the company's rubbish systems and delivered my parcel. I've also emailed the Evri customer service person who is looking into my issue and told her that the courier is doing a great job; it's the system which hasn't worked.

It was good to see you both yesterday. 🙂

I was so sorry to hear about Paddy. That's a beautiful photo of him in your profile picture. ❤️

I think the parking sensor problem is related to me having disconnected one of the speakers in the back. When I plug the speaker back in, the sensors work again. :-)

This afternoon's task is working out how to fix curtains in the back.
