Running is helping manage my mental health in these crazy, dark times that are happening at the moment. Some time to shut off and just plod in the fresh air does wonders for me, at least for a little while #runningformentalhealth

I stand with PBS.

I stand with NPR.

I stand with Stephen Colbert.

I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

I stand with the First Amendment.

Todays treats - well deserved coffee and cake with run buddies after Parkrun then enjoying some of the countryside later in the day 🤗 #GoodForTheSoul

Finding joy, beauty and interesting things in these crazy times #MentalHealthImprovements

A weekend well spent in Poole 🤗

Today’s adventures included checking the Star Wars Greenham bunkers, Parkrun and an art exhibition in our town hall 🤗

Some recent enjoyment of nature 🤗

It’s been a busy 36 hours or so with a work conference away yesterday, a friends birthday party this evening and Newbury Pride squeezed in between. Was such a lovely atmosphere today, all the good vibes and lots of support from the local community 🤗
#NewburyPride

Had a lovely evening at an in conversation with Robin Ince event at Waterstones Newbury tonight.

Insightful and generous in spirit and joy, thank you 😊

Looking forward to enjoying one of his books now too 😃

Making the most of the decent weather for a lovely bimble out today 🤗

So nice to take a midweek morning away from work for a little run in the countryside 🤗

Today was a tough ask after having Covid last week but I got through it - with great support from my running buddies and the wider community who spectated and supported all the runners today too 💜💚 #newbury10k

It’s a hard life sometimes 😁 happy#caturday 😸😻😺

Little bit of clearing round the house while the weather holds 🤗 #freshenup #deweeding #gutterclearing

If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

VE Day 80 remembrance.
My Maternal Grandma worked part time for ARP & Grandad was a NAFFI canteen manager on HMS Bulolo.
My Paternal Granny was a WAPC & Grandad served on a Minesweeper, HMS Britomart, on the Russian (Arctic) convoys & clearing mines off the Normandy beaches immediately before D-day

Quite a week, two outings to different events organised by @hungerfordbookshop.bsky.social thanks to @almurray.bsky.social and @robinince.bsky.social for your insights and stories 😃👏🏻
Had a non-alcoholic girls night out Friday to ensure I could Parkrun with friends on Saturday too.
Good times 🤗

A message for everyone but in particular for trans and non binary followers - let us fight against dehumanisation

Early start for a day out in London with the fella, a blast from the past and some really cool Titans 🤗 #goodtimes #salute52
