Trying to write, got an unpublished novel, The Errand Boy all ready to go. Got some poetry under my belt, gone sober in Jan 2023. Ran a few marathons. Live in a lovely part of Yorkshire. No fascists, billionaires, s*x bots, A.I.s, DMs or politics.

I came to Bluesky because X (not twitter) had degenerated into a right-wing / fascist hell.
From 20 Jan 2025 there will be no American politics on my timeline. I gave it 8 years, it gave me anxiety and disappointment. You let in the clown, he brought the circus.
Follow / unfollow, up to you.

Erm.....I wasn't off, I don't work Wednesdays, and ok.
And so the hamster wheel is once again launched on a trajectory of a circular nature.

🧡 Hidden in the Arabian Sea, Socotra Island is a natural wonder unlike anywhere else on Earth. Its landscapes are dotted with the legendary Dragon’s Blood Trees—their umbrella-like canopies and crimson sap make them look straight out of a fantasy world.

I've just had what I believe to be a scam DM from someone claiming to be @bsky.app
Looks like @anna-uk.bsky.social might be a bot

The weather is miserable but #trailrunning in autumn does have its benefits.
