Lovely morning at Somerdale #parkrun. Big turnout in memory of Joan Gibson, former Somerdale RD, parkrun #volunteer stalwart and #Bitton Road Runner, who sadly passed away just over a week ago. Well done to Tina Dury and Lyndsey Miles for a great send off. Rest in Peace Joan.

Dear Labour
How about taxing the rich to feed the poor? How about strengthening our ties with Europe? Everyone knows that Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster - play on these things. Work with and for the electorate, instead of victimising the disabled & trans communities. You know it makes sense

Question for my runners.

Why do you run?

Nice morning for a 4K #run via the polling station around Frenchay. #running

It does irritate me when non-elites #running the London #marathon are referred to patronisingly as "fun runners". There isn't a lot of fun in getting up at 7am on a wet windy February morning for a 15+ mile run.

Kudos and good luck to all #running the London #Marathon today. Hope the blisters are too bad!

Volunteered at Pomphrey Hill #parkrun again yesterday, 120th volunteer credit and 94th at PH. Trying to do 2 volunteers for every run meant I missed out on the Bitton Road #Runners gathering at Ashton Court parkrun - the one I've been waiting for!

🧵I see there’s some howling going on about parkrun for the crime of being inclusive. I went to a parkrun book event the other day. There was a woman in the audience who is in her 90’s and has dementia. Her companion said that she loves parkrun, knows when she’s there and it makes her happy.

Why does no one talk about how toxic the running community can be, especially to beginners?

Stop labeling beginners by pace.

You run, therefore, You are a runner.

No more. No less.

Let’s support each other, no matter where we are in the journey.

God Bless You All

Quarter peal of Plain Bob Minor tonight at #frenchay, 1260 in 44 min. That's enough time on my feet today, time for a nice Belgian beer 🍺 #bellringing #ringing

#Frenchay10K today in 1:00:03, that's four minutes slower than last year. Basically I am older, fatter and less fit than I was. Never mind, the new running shoes were good. #running

#parkrun no. 164 at Pomphrey Hill parkrun yesterday. Great easy to start the weekend even though I was taking it easy. And there was cake.

I just want to state that this post is not a lame attempt at an April fools joke, unlike everything across social media this morning...

... but remember not everything you read on the internet is true, this applies anytime of the year not just April 1st!

A touch of Plain & Little Bob Minor spliced, and a touch of Stedman Doubles with me affected last night at Frenchay. For the first time, I saw the Bob at the back, especially the coat hangers. Progress! #bells #bellringing

Amazing how a week's suspension for no good reason can just kill all interest in posting
March 16, 2025 at 11:16 PM
Back after a week's unjustified suspension. No reason was given other than "in breach of Community Guidelines", and apparently I was spamming. No evidence has been given. I await a response to a request for evidence from @bsky.app moderators.
I expect this sort of thing from the other place.

Good practice last night, a successful touch of Little Bob, only about the 2nd time for me. #bellringing
February 11, 2025 at 8:57 AM
Kent 6 again tonight, once more unto the breach! Maybe a spot of Little Bob would be a good idea, just to break the monotony. #bellringing #brainache
