MVP was once again an amazing event.
A great bunch of people to run with

Check out @cgs79.bsky.social video to see how I got on youtu.be/H_u2QKpMjwE?...

Huge thanks to my crew who thought it would be fun to spend the night sitting in a park

Medal with the words "MVP Backyard Ultra Last One Standing" I was not in fact the last one standing.

I run 33 KMs at a backyard ultra, while aiming for 46. @headfreak.bsky.social ran a rather ridiculous 80kms. Our friend and crew member Skip made a video about it.

Every year I knit @headfreak.bsky.social a set of winter woollies. This week I finished spinning the yarn. It's undyed Gotland, and was a pleasure to spin.

New post up on Beer Diary — some thoughts the recent history of Australia's annual Hottest 100 Beers survey, and Mountain Culture, the brewery who have dominated it while rapidly evolving and at the same time seeming stuck in their own mythic past.

I wanted something bright and happy to cheer up this Monday. I think this tie was homemade, it's quite a light fabric and no interfacing was used. I feel like it looks a bit like something a clown would wear. 👔

There's a lot going on with this one
A tie. It's bad. If you can't see it, it's probably for the best

Stripes, but in two directions and also fading boxes. #badtiemonday 👔

Just like last week, this week's #badtiemonday features uneven stripes. I particularly like / loath the black wiggles in the widest stripe.

The stripes on this make me feel slightly I'll. We can talk about the width later.

This feels like the designer's manager said "make a tie with stripes" and the designer thought 'I hate my job'.

A woman wearing a tie with a variety of diagonal stripes. It looks bad in the photo and worse in real life.

When the cost of living goes up, the width of ties comes down.
NZ must be really proud of this one

There is something about the colouring of this tie that puts me in mind of the 80s. The optical illusions if you stare too long just top it off

#badtiemonday
Torso of a man wearing a tie with uneven diagonal squares. Some mostly block colours, others with arrow lines of various thickness. It's best if you don't look at it for too long A close up on the top of the tie And now the bottom of the tie. This really shows off the disturbing patterning of this bad tie
