I can't underestimate how much I am impressed by Opencore Legacy Patcher. Proper computing.

2015 iMac running Sequoia is a very pleasant experience.

0430 alarm this morning to walk down to ride on the first Bee Network bus out of Stockport. The famous 192, I then used my Hopper Ticket to get the first Stockport bus out of the interchange. 🐝🐝🐝

Knee rehab is currently requiring longer and harder bike rides so back to the Boardman Cyclocross.

Had a fab chat with another Carradice saddle bag owner along the A555, one of the best things about cycling is meeting and chatting to people you never would if you where in a car.

Everyday. I have multiple, I don't use them as a diary that is all online but as a meeting and planning tool I find they cannot be beat.

Like a notebook on steroids.

A collection of watches in a watch box. They are all analogue watches 11 in total with one empty space in the box.

One space to fill ⌚ I've been building this collection for 15 years or so. None are considered by "real" collectors as high end, but I love them all and a couple were expensive in the real world.

Only three were bought new but all will probably last a lifetime.

There is a recommendation of two hours max in a car seat. You used to see a lot of people just move the carseat to the travel system and back without taking baby out. Not sure if that's still a thing.

A front baby carrier was an absolute game changer for my second too if people are able to use one.

We are not car-free but I am very against removable car seats, nothing scientific, so for my youngest we had a permanently fitted one.

We took the pram in and no questions were asked.

First commute to the city center for a few weeks as I have been suffering with an injured shoulder and knee.

Still not fixed but the electric bike helped me through it, particularly how nice and upright it is.

Was cold though πŸ₯Ά

Another brilliant morning on the doorstep yesterday. Really satisfying to hear residents positive response on the good work done by our Labour Councillors here in Stockport.

Genuinely gutted about this. Louise is exactly the transport secretary we need right now.

Bit of an adventure getting to the townhall after having to take my car to Bredbury Industrial Estate, bus plans went out the window and it was slip and slide all the way.

It was fantastic to attend the Stockport's Climate Action Now Summit today at the town hall.

I didn't manage to attend all sessions due to work but was really happy to join the Joyful Journeys session.

I look forward to seeing some of the ideas Cole into fruition.

Screen shot of "Accessibility Settings" with two main categories: "Alt text" and "Media." Under Alt text, there are two toggle options labelled "Require alt text before posting," which is switched on. β€œDisplay larger alt text badges" Under Media, there’s an option labelled "Disable autoplay for videos and GIFs," which is switched on.

New to @bsky.app? We’ve got some etiquette just for you!

Turn on the little feature that reminds you to post alt text with your images. Alt text allows blind and partially sighted people to understand what's in your images using screen readers. Without alt text, it just says "image".

Looks like green helmet is a child riding shotgun. Even more efficient use of space.

Apologies for the lack of alt text yesterday, I hadn't got the setting sorted.

Success for day 1 with the teas maid.

This feels like a life upgrade. Almost excited for the 0630 alarm.

I raised this at scrutiny and it was confirmed that there is going to be a lot of effort on the signage & on carriageway markings to make it as easy as possible.

Yes it was on the plans that came to the area committee & scrutiny.

I think that the eastern route is going to be a challenge for the signage team.

I have concerns about this stretch too, it is particularly steep in any normal persons view.

The ones near Belmont Way are being removed if that's the other ones.

The second hand market must be having an impact too. Prices are rock bottom.

Brands like Brompton pushing more direct to consumers cannot be a good thing either.

I joined in 2008 too and loved it in the early days. Closed my account down today. I always enjoyed seeing a broad spectrum of views, but it lost any sense of self controlled balance in recent years.
