You're doing better than you think you are ;
Last year my #Jolabokoflod partner sent me this, a Christmas mystery and departure from my normal read.

I was deep into something else so saved it, and guess what... just finished a book as we get to mid-November 😁

Im enjoying it. And a body just dropped down the chimney!

Sign up by Sunday!

So just to clarify: I didn't cover the #LUFC logo, I *added* ours on the other side.

But y'know... your creative option 😘

[If anyone wants a @marchingout.bsky.social stocker, btw, I've got loads, just saying.]

Ngl, I've had worse tat to compensate me for the repeated false-hope maybe one day being able to get a ticket.

Improved mine, though 👌🏽🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏳️‍⚧️

Saw this tonight: bloody brilliant. One man plays about 7-8 characters, plus prison life, addiction, survival, writing, relationships, trust or not, resistance vs hierarchy + The System, and the 'Irish War'.

With credits to #Leeds Playhouse for putting it on.

If it comes your way, go see.

Just read this in my current book. Seemed like a good share for 11th November 🙏🏽🕊

There's nothing more moving than a normally-raucous football crowd stood in perfect silence; full humanity to counter all of the horrors.

Off work this week, so sneaked (snook?) a midweek run in the woods... 🍂💗

Things you don't expect to see while quietly minding your own business on a Tuesday morning in that London 👀

Running.
In the autumn woods.
After rain.

This is one of those two, maybe three, weekends where the woods turn up their autumn volume to 'Full' 🙏🏽💗

My first tentative jogs in over eight months, and it feels so good to be back out here.

Paused the Garmin, had a bit of a moment. 🙏🏽🍂💗

And the centre of that white dahlia...

Is that a jet engine, or the finest most delicate porcelain ever...?

Here you go: take a moment's peace and natural beauty today from Golden Acre Park, #Leeds. 🙏🏽

Put your gadgets down and get outdoors, people. Just saying.

Well that was better than staying in to do the ironing! 😁💥

Meanwood Park #Leeds today, and the effect of the torrent which must have come down during this week's downpours.

I've seen this many times and know these channels, but I never realised those flagstones go all the way down!!

Last week: Chapeltown Leeds West Indian Carnival

Today: Jazz at Chapel Allerton Festival

Pretty much covers it! 😀
Did I mention, how much I love this city? 💗🦉🕊🤍💛💙🏳️‍🌈

(Also statistically highest concentration of
a) weed & rum punch vs
b) Ramipril & HRT meds, anywhere 🤣)

After the past week, that's a great big massive whole beautiful point! ✊🏽1️⃣

I absolutely loved being back 😊💗

In February I stood with Ukranian friends in my city. I stand with them still, and will continue to do so.

Let's keep it simple: Russia invaded a peaceful sovereign state. Again.

Got my latest delivery of Hope Soap from GC. It's lovely stuff: leaves you all sparkly, tingly-fresh... and with a nice glow on the inside too 😊🤗

Check them out, and please share.

[Psst! Makes a great gift, just saying 😘]

Midsummer Night's Dream at @bridgetheatre.bsky.social 💥

I've seen some theatre over the years, but nothing like this!! Absolutely wonderful.

Shakespeare's words... with acrobatics, modern gags & music. Big thanks to cast, tech & all the wranglers for an unforgettable show (From A. Groundling) 🤗🎭
