I dropped my keyboard and the Escape button fell off. Now I’m wondering if it’s trying to tell me something.

Back on it! I took Edgar the tyre for a drag to kick start training for my return to Svalbard. My legs were not best impressed and I suspect will make me suffer tomorrow.

In 100 days, I’m going back to Svalbard! Things haven’t gone to plan since returning in April 2022, but a week training in Kvitåvatn and I’m feeling ready to train hard. Onward!

It’s Squirrel Appreciation Day! I have always loved squirrels, if I had a daemon it would be a squirrel. They might be rats with good PR, but I like rats too and had pet rats at university. This is Dave The Squirrel.

Seems appropriate for my first post on BlueSky! (Though it’s more of a grey sky, admittedly) I’ve just had this huge flock of pink-footed geese fly over. They migrate from the Arctic to a nearby lake which connects me to the places I love the most while sat here in muddy Cheshire ❄️💙❄️
