Social media is always keen to sell you idyllic, rural, West Cornwall. The quiet. Just peace, animals and birds. What they don’t talk about is the DANGERS! This morning a falling horse chestnut (conker), spiky shell included, fell from a tree and struck my ear! Ouch! #Cornwall #RuralLiving #Nature

Me enjoying the weekend (mine is on a Wednesday this week). Phone rings at 9am.
“Can you do overtime today (we start at 0730)?”
“No but I can come in tomorrow and Friday.”
That was a short weekend 😂

After a quite pathetic September consisting of sciatica and influenza, I think I’ll get back on the bike today. Pretty sure there’s a hill climb event this month so need to get my legs back. #Cycling

Very hard to argue with this.
The Mail and the Express offer nothing but hate and division. The people who work there must be utter wankers.

All of the current demonisation of those making perilous journeys in the hope of finding somewhere safe to call home reminded me of this song. #RiseAgainst #Music

I think you really know you’re an adult when you can admit your own mistakes. I am two days late on refitting the mudguards to my commuter bike! I guess I know what I’ll be doing this evening. #Cycling #ActiveTravel #RoadSpray #Weather

I definitely qualify as an Ouballie (according to my youngest daughter anyway) 😂. I wish I had some holiday left at work as this sounds like a wonderful ride.
Weather dependent, but I'm planning on doing a Traveling Ouballies ride, probably setting off around the 1st of October.
In case you didn't know what a Travelling Ouballies ride is, or how to pronounce it, go read this 1st: www.willcycle.com/2021/06/26/t...

Travelling Ouballie rides are multi-day cycle tours, and for you to be able to call yourself a Travelling Ouballie, you must join me on such a ride

Yesterday we had no stage winner, but hopefully we will have one today and there is a great chance that the winner could come from a breakaway 🚴💪

It’s time!!! #LaVuelta25 kicks off today🎉
Stage 1 is flat giving sprinters a chance to show their speed💨
Pedersen and Philipsen have both won an opening stage of a Grand Tour this year
Will one of them take the crown as king of opening stages or will a new name join the mix?

Horrible news for Intel. I have questions…
1. Will Intel’s “T” line of processors now stand for “Trump?”
2. Will they be gold?
3. Will their AI capabilities only extend to generating pictures of young girls?
PC Gamers know from experience that competition is important. #Hardware #Intel #AMD

Petition: Use Proportional Representation at the next General Election
Change the voting system to Proportional Representation instead of First Past the Post. We think this would eradicate disillusionment and encourage voter participation as people could start to believe...
