Bernicia.
Software: writing, no longer teaching. Running, cycling and winter sports. Shill for big tofu. Wokerati membership. From: over there.
Yes, my first week of bike lights, but more to be seen than to see at the moment.

From my wife, Elfie…

If I have bought directly via Bandcamp then the streaming/downloads are available without needing to use the code. If I have bought from elsewhere, I use the code to have the album added to my feed. I tend to stream via the app these days rather than download the audio.

Oh, thanks, I didn’t know about this!

@paulhenni.bsky.social Thanks for sharing this. We lived very close to several of the photos that I can see from the slideshow. Elfie wrote extensively about one particularly ruin and its history of murder and misogyny!

You could grow fenugreek sprouts from 50 year-old seeds. Or they might be dead!

Seeds or dried leaves?

In the sequel his front is running a canal-side fashion boutique in Utrecht, but he’s likely teamed up with Van Der Valk to solve canal-based crime.

Well done!

I have two of these, Wire and Neneh Cherry, on mini-CD which seemed to be the new single format for about six months.

I wish I’d bought the Section 25 when I had the chance!

Also sheep trods across moorland, often taken advantage of by fell runners and walkers.

Elephant paths crop up in orienteering, obvious routes between legs taken by lots of earlier competitors.

It looks like he’s holding her hostage!

Great gig!

Yes, the final 5 miles are on Lindisfarne, an SSSI, so the organisers only get permission for a field of 25. It makes for a unique race. And, I’ve just realised, it’s only two weeks away!

Yes, the Holy Island Marathon that I am running in three weeks. Only 25 runners allowed, but easier to get into than London. And a lot more beautiful!
