May come back to #KingAndConqueror but for now having watched the first few minutes I’ve switched to something that more realistically captures the period

Snapped these up. Very realistic! #Halloween

1990’s me absolutely loving @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social latest podcast.

The fact it’s been to accompany 2020’s me on a morning run would have been total anathema back then mind.

Totally expected these to be the usual disappointment - and just taste like not-so-good Jaffa cakes.

But they actually do taste ‘hot’ and of honey.

Strange times - would recommend

Love the #London10k
I never get much better or worse, but the scenery is fab and the organisation is excellent

Very much enjoyed Magnus Mills - The Scheme for Full employment #BooksofBluesky
The cover of Magnus Mills ‘the scheme for full employment’ which includes a picture of the uni van that’s key to the book

I hadn’t expect to enjoy this, I’ve enjoyed a lot of their music, but been a bit on the fence really.

But this is a great book, and beautifully written too. #BooksOfBlueSky

The dog remains unimpressed by the Mr Blobby inflatable which was previously gifted to us and we now live around.
An unimpressed Bichon Frisée sits in the centre of the shot. Behind him is a sofa with a cushion that has the word ‘science’ on it (because our house contains a scientist), to the left of the dog is a chair to the right of the dog is a beanbag with the legs of a Bichon frisée size Mr Blobby inflatable visible

Lived seeing @painshill.bsky.social on TV last night. Well worth catching on iPlayer for a great overview of everything this restored landscape has to offer.

Milford Haven to Dale today, testing parts of our walk for the St George’s Walk 2025.

Gorgeous sunshine and some great stepping stone crossings and varied scenery along the way
