It is now the 8th anniversary of Mania so time to dig up some Sonic trivia... This year, it's Kanga Clanga! (aka the Kangus). This lovable robo-roo originally lived in the outback but now entertains us all in Pinball Carnival Zone!

London Marathon complete! My entire 2025 has been dominated by this goal, so I’m proud to have finally achieved it. Never thought I’d do something like this.

Of course this is all in support of the charity Mind. I am at 93% of my fundraising goal! 2025tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/kieran-ga...

Had to find new shoes again as the Adios Pro 3 was not working out with my feet, but made it the half marathon distance today ✅

Pace suffered half way through thanks to some killer steep hills, but hey ho.

Collapsed on the first grassy patch I found afterwards.

2 Hours done!

This feels like another major milestone reached, would not have believed I’d be going this far 2 months ago.

First commission complete! Big thanks to @auntymoira.bsky.social for the donation, this was a super fun way to kick things off.
