Also proud anti-fascist, anti-racist.

No prizes for guessing what I'm at a recording of.

Rev, you know this is exactly what I look like in real life

Most comfortable, you say?

My contract is due to end in the new year so I'm job hunting again ☹️

What do I do about my beard?

* Get rid?
* Dye? (so I don't look as old as Methuselah)
* Trim it? (makes me look like Captain Birdseye)
* Do bugger all (aka my "rough sleeper" look as my wife so kindly puts it)

You can always trust the BBC for accuracy.

Their local news about Diwali celebrations (www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...) has a link to a free open day at the Worcester Art museum.

However, that's in Worcester, Massachusetts!!

And they mention the India Society of Worcester. Also in Worcester, Ma.

It's been raining.

Someone's found the muddiest puddle...

Oh... Lily!

Genetically Modified foods have gone too far!

I found the bar temperature a bit chilly, TBH

I have to give a shoutout to the amazing Indian restaurant in Writtle. I could have been fed for free as a volunteer (tearing down the Control, etc.) but I chose to eat at Pakwaan's.

Absolutely brilliant food. As you can probably tell...

Is it too soon to remove my #LEL2025 rider wrist band?

When you assumed you'd be finishing #LEL2025 in December....

After a most leisurely trundle from Northstowe through Henhan, I've finally arrived at Writtle. It's odd, a party atmosphere but no real sense of achievement.

My last LEL, it's a pity the weather gods intervened.

It seems the event has officially been renamed.

Alarming that, not only couldn't I find a single Indian restaurant in Hess, but traditional foods are also under attack.

Something should be done!

Not sure if it comes across in the photo, but a combination of very wet weather and death-grip clutching of the handle bars has managed to dye my hands the same colour as the leather!

Vital pre-ride hydration.
