Thanks to #longcovid I am now disabled (3yrs & counting) so trying to raise money for disability charities is very important to me. Please support my cold water swim campaign - www.justgiving.com/page/james-e...
Swimming is the only form of exercise I can do now. #longcovid is rubbish

And I've got my late Dad's work cricket trophy from 1983. It's got a statue of a man on it if #trump is worried it might be of inferior quality. And he can always inscribe his name before my Dad's if he is worried people might think he didn't play in the tournament. Prick. #nobel #fucktrump
I’ve still got my Best Band in Hertfordshire 1998 trophy in the back bedroom if the orange maniac wants it.

Utterly pathetic.

Despite the ice, water at 2.9°c, and the everlasting "joys" of #longcovid, I managed to swim this morning!

It seems that the 5ive medley on #strictly is proof that all their songs involve getting up, getting down, or getting funky.

@tudorcook.bsky.social If you ignore the drunk teenagers, this is the one in the lounge. My parents repaired the arch over the bread oven.

Trump is a stinky poo face and also a liar, criminal, and despot. Fuck you Trump. #trump
Tourists to US would have to reveal five years of social media activity under new Trump plan
Plan would apply to countries not currently required to get visas to the US, including Britain and France

Only a little left to go before I reach my fundraising target - www.justgiving.com/page/james-e...
Swimming is the only exercise I can really do with #longcovid as the support from the water means my legs can move a bit more easily. Stupid #longcovid

The beautiful Horsehead and Flame nebulae in the Orion constellation. This is 8hrs40m of data from my garden. Yay! #astrophotography

Hello everyone! I've joined a campaign to raise money for disabled children to have swimming lessons. All I have to do is swim in water below 10c all through the winter. All you have to do is go to my Just Giving page and donate! Simple! www.justgiving.com/page/james-e...

7hrs 45m on the rather dramatic Dumbbell Nebula (M27). This is an example of a dying red giant star letting rip with a lot of gas. Jazzy. #astrophotography #nebula

A couple of shots through my new Askar 71F scope - the moon was taken on 6th November & the swirling Triangulum Galaxy over several nights totalling 11hr44m of data, used a narrowband filter to get some of the nebulae (red and blue bits). #astrophotography

Oh no! What a threat! Because donors to the opposition and a president from the 90s are SO much more relevant that the current administration. Fucking prick.

I was able to get a #covid vaccine because of my #longcovid of doom. If you suffer with this horrible condition, do try and get jabbed up. Protection prevents serious infections and I would be flattened if I got the virus again. Look after yourselves. #longcovid

So, you can't pay for parking at The Oracle in Reading unless you have a smart phone. QR code only. No mention of this when you enter, just a sign saying it's "ticketless" parking....

Finished picture of comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon. Got about 5mins of usable data but it brought out plenty of cool detail. #comet #astrophotography
