Slightly sketchy moment on my morning run, trying to find a path that had turned into a lake.
Strava map showing me wiggling backwards and forwards along a marked path A photo of the path, basically a stream A wet boggy mess that lay between me and the road, with the actual path hiding underwater somewhere.

Holy Marketing Budget, Batman. You know a film's going to be good when it has its own Strava challenge.

Today I learned Manchester Airport has its own podcast, with the abysmal title "Manchester: Your Airport, MAN"
Podcast artwork, if you can call it that, for Manchester: Your Airport, MAN. With an illustration of a woman pulling a suitcase through the airport and presumably listening to the podcast on her phone.

I love this kid so much. Today he said "I like smooth paths, do you know why? Because it makes me feel free."

This is not just a fiendish fruit salad. This is scary sausage mummy's chilling cheesy pizzza's fiendish fruit salad.

I watched the videos out of curiosity, apparently they think we should be wearing hi-vis vests when walking in low light 🤣

I went with @theblueulysses.bsky.social and @owlernook.bsky.social's great idea, albeit a different shed on a different farm. I got the "Scream Egg" because I'm a child.
A paper cup and straw, with The Creepy Cow Shed branding and ghosts on it. Also a brownie, and my lovely bike Ruby in the background. A shot of the milkshake without the lid. It's bright green, like full Elphaba green A vending machine for milk and milkshake

When you're the BBC so for balance you have to follow up the gratuitous shot of Tom Daley in the shower with this:

#TheTraitors
A very weird and unflattering likeness of Tom Daley in a golden frame. It looks like someone's taken an already bad photo of him and then put it through a Photoshop filter to look like an oil painting.

A lovely bit of Dutch-style infrastructure in London. And a Shell garage.
A raised crossing over a side street to show that pedestrians have authority over turning vehicles. Blue bike lane alongside. Pretty flower bed in between. Shell garage in the background and a raised DLR line at the side.

Going to see The Long Walk. But getting the bus, obviously.
Google Maps screenshot showing walking directions from near the London Excel to an Odeon cinema in Greenwich. 1 hr 44 on foot because there's no bridge close by. 21 mins on the bus through a tunnel.

I accidentally threw away a 327-day streak. If you know you know.

I've heard of a Labour source but that joke is laboured, source
A Labour source said: "I've heard of a stalking horse, but this guy is going to get hoarse from his endless stalking."

Had some time to kill in Greenwich this evening so I took a Forest bike for a spin to see what they're like.

I was having so much fun I forgot about the geofencing and wondered why the pedal assist had cut out...
Dark green Forest e-bike on a bridge, with a nice skyscraper sunset in the background A failed attempt to get me, the skyline, the sunset and the bike in shot at the same time A cool old industrial building with I'm guessing a radio tower sticking out of it, called Faraday Works More sunset over the Thames

He confirmed that he was indeed looking at a branch dangling from an overhead cable, then added, "I don't bloody know how I'm going to get that down".

Wednesday AM:
The same photo of the same thing in the same place. Quite a large tree branch dangling from an overhead cable. Small enough to dangle but big enough to cause an accident when it inevitably falls.

A pointless story about doing the right thing...

Monday AM: passed this on my way into work, thought hey that looks unsafe, but I'm in a rush and I'm sure someone who lives on this street will report it.

You're right, there is no bike parking. Don't worry though, I'll just lock it to this fence.
Bike locked to a fence, which has a sign on saying "Village Hotel Club, no bike parking".

Rt Hon Sir Edward Davey MP HOUSE OF COMMONS LONDON SWIA OAA The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer MP, Prime Minister Sent by email Sunday 14 September 2025 Dear Prime Minister, The attempts this weekend by Elon Musk to sow discord and incite violence on our streets represent a serious and dangerous interference in our democracy. Speaking at the "Unite the Kingdom" march organised by far-right hate preacher Tommy Robinson, Musk told the crowd that "violence is coming" and that "you either fight back or you die". The United Kingdom has always prided itself on resolving disagreements through debate, through the ballot box, and through the rule of law. The recent conduct of Elon Musk - deliberately spreading misinformation, stoking anger and encouraging violence - represents a reckless and dangerous assault on those values. This attempt to endanger public safety and meddle in our politics must be met with clarity and resolve. At times like this, it is vital that the people of our country see their leaders united. That is why I am writing to urge each of you to put party politics aside and join me in publicly condemning these dangerous remarks, and to jointly consider what sanctions Elon Musk should face as a consequence. We must make clear that no individual, however wealthy or powerful, can get away with using their platform to inflame tensions and incite violence. At the same time, we must uphold freedom of speech and the right to peaceful protest without fear of violence, intimidation, or manipulation from abroad. The strength of Britain lies in our shared commitment to mutual respect, decency and the rule of law. If we fail to speak with one voice now, we risk emboldening those who want to threaten these values and undermine our democracy. I hope you will join me in making this important stand. Yours sincerely, Ed Davey MP for Kingston and Surbiton Leader of the Liberal Democrats
