How a snippet of #lesmis read by @nedboulting.bsky.social on @itvx.com coverage of @letourfr.bsky.social has given rise to my next read. I’m challenging myself to read Hugo’s classic novel by le fin de le Tour! #merci #victorhugo #summerread #itvcycling

According to @glenndonaldson.bsky.social the world doesn’t need another band. But do you know what? It certainly needs The Reds, Pinks & Purples. Beautiful indie-pop that materialised into my algorithm & for that I am truly grateful! Lyrics to do die for & perfect song-writing. Grazie mille 🙏

Fab time playing at our inaugural ‘patio sessions’ - even the rain didn’t dampen us too greatly #home #housegig #livemusic #jackroscoe

Saw #chameleons last July and they were imperial - if they can capture that and reconnect to the creative outputs of their mid-80s best then we are in for a treat and a half

Part of a memoir reading grp @lancasteruni.bsky.social Eng Lit & Creative Writing Dept. This is our next book & it’s incredible. It’s somehow got under my radar until now. His acceptance speech for the Nobel Peace Prize needs to be read across the Middle East & beyond #eliewiesel #night

I used to think of walking as a good run spoiled. Perambulating these days is my favourite ‘get outside’ activity. They stumble that run too fast and those who stroll get to fill their hearts with pleasures still and dance amongst the daffodils. #daffodils #spring #walking #cumbria

If I run up and down this hill across the lane from where we live for 60hrs I might get close to the physical sensation of running the #Barkley - though without the navigational challenge, it’s so much ‘easier’. As the brain tires its functionality drops significantly! #BM100 #ultra
