So far, I'm not a fan of 2026.

When I got my Brompton last year my old uni mate invited me to ride the Lon Las Cymru cycle route with him this summer, on our Bromptons.

It looks quite long and hilly. I will need to actually prepare properly for this, I think.
Lon Las Cymru
Thousands may choose the C2C as their cycling challenge, but the cognoscenti know that it’s Lon Las Cymru that really tests your mettle. This 250-mile route traverses the country’s most…

2026 - Let’s make hope normal again.

A new kind of politics doesn’t just come from new politicians.

Make this the year you get involved.

Cooked for just myself tonight. Did slightly too much, so had to eat out of a mixing bowl.

Kitchen scales said 767g of food.

Quite full now.

Auditors and new officials have been turning over stones at the body in charge of Teesworks. Turns out the Tees Valley Combined Authority has been lending hundreds of millions of £ to connected orgs, without loan agreements, and those orgs are now struggling to repay

British politics is a mess. Food, energy, housing are all too expensive. Major parties are all flogging the dead horse of trickle down. So I’m joining the Green Party. Britain needs an economy that works for workers, for small businesses, and future generations. @greenparty.org.uk

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.

I will be thinking of everyone in Australia and those around the world in the Jewish Community who know this fear and loss.

We stand with you.

Vegetarians! Vegans! Anyone who enjoys cooking! Here's a thread of recipes for the veggie / vegan dishes I cook regularly and which have helped me massively cut down on the amount of meat I eat these days. First, a cheap, easy., quick dal which *everyone* should be able to cook:

My regular reminder that eating less meat is one of the easiest things you can do to help mitigate the effects of climate change and lots of other harm we do to the environment. You don’t have to quit meat altogether and it doesn’t have to be an all or nothing thing about your identity

I've spent three days in Calais & it's horrendous.

People living in disgusting conditions. Our Government is spending £476m on the militarisation of the border.

We must divert that money to a humanitarian response that treats people with basic dignity.

This is sad news, but demonstrates part of the reason that Robin is one of my favourite comedians, and one of the best people - kindness and empathy.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

More evidence that we all need to live like an Italian granddad.
