Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Niche complaint, but all the new junior parkrun gear is so much better than the adults range. Their new milestone socks just launched and they are excellent and only go up to a size 5. Boooo. Even for the kids that's a bit stingy given you can junior parkrun up until you turn 15. 000
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Conversations with my son: "so the teacher suggested we make a poster featuring an animal, an action and a place. So I did a shark playing the trumpet in Antarctica". 140
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 02/09/2026The MC Escher exhibition at Somerset House is very good but very crowded for a ticketed event. Also the worst gift shop I've ever seen. Incredible artwork though, I liked the early stuff which is very simple but creates such complexity. 210
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 31/08/2026One week left of the summer holidays and only one thing left to tick off the "list of things to do in the holidays". How's that for parenting folks? Also I may really have run out of London museums now. 100
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I am short sighted. I started wearing glasses as a child and every eye test my eyesight got worse until I was in my 20s. My eldest child is also short sighted. They have myopia control lenses and a completely stable prescription since starting with them. Science is so cool. 140
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 14/08/2026A spark from railway work started a fire that burned through a bunch of gardens in my corner of SE London. So I'm all for that emergency alert. It is dangerous out there at the moment. 000
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Well @preachypreach.bsky.social made me a cat food box with a hole in it, then a friend got me glasses and all turned out awesome. The eclipse was cool. There was a large and friendly crowd in the local park. Kids were enthused. 060
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I'm failing to get excited about the eclipse and I've concluded it's because it involves too much planning. I don't have the spare brain space to be thinking about how to view it and where to view it. Someone just hand me a cereal box with a hole in please. 100
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 28/07/2026It's finally the summer holidays in our house. Rejoice! Rejoice! 010
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Have got to the final season of Buffy with the teenager. I warned them without details that there was lots of annoying stuff in this season. Mostly Kennedy. Kennedy has just turned up and instantly I got "who is that? Oh god, is that Kennedy?". Instant hatred. 120
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Check it out. I thought this monster was a newt or something at first glance. Huge! 001
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Really really keep that chip up to date. We got our Millie back 10 years later. 010
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 11/07/2026I am watching Before Sunrise and am reminded again how annoying it is that I am not, in fact, Julie Delpy looking stunning in a strappy dress over a t-shirt. Style. Icon. 100
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Buzzy bee on my flower. It's a purple flower. It's possibly too tall to be in this planter but let's not dwell on that. 100

Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 07/07/2026So is Farage going to use some of his £5million to pay for this by election? 000
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Currently enjoyed watching the few Labour councillors in our area post things like "we are asking the council to do more about fly tipping and put CCTV up." Do they think we have forgotten they had years to do it themselves? 100
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Buried the old cat's ashes underneath the lavender bush where she liked to sleep. Current cat immediately went to investigate, dancing on her grave or a last goodbye? 090
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 21/06/2026@runningpast.bsky.social I just thought this might interest you for some reason. 131
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Got up at 5am, ran a 5k at Biggin Hill, made it home in time to have a cup of tea and marshal at parkrun. Running on a runway involves more incline than I was expecting. 060
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Vaccination is amazing. Between 2020 and 2024, no cervical cancer deaths were recorded in women aged 20 to 24 - the first time that had happened over a five-year period. Without vaccination, around 23 deaths would have been expected. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukCervical cancer deaths fall to zero in young women given vaccineA new study finds that hundreds of lives have been saved since school-age girls were offered the HPV jab in 2008. 042
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Say it ain't so. Giles, you will be very missed. Yes I did have an inappropriate crush on him when I watched Buffy. It never went away, man had charisma. 120
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 25/05/2026It's going to be scorching today but the youngest child is determined we should do something. Now I'm trying to find some woods that we've not been to recently and will prove entertaining enough for him and cool enough for me. 000
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 21/05/2026I just realised it's not even Friday yet so have a cat tummy to cheer yourself up. 010
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 17/05/2026My junior parkrun had our highest ever turnout of volunteers today. 31 adults and kids who decided to give up their morning to help others. What a lovely thing. 280
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Circle size represents response rate? Excuse me? The grey circle? The bigger half of the circle? The response rate for the whole question? I need to lie down. 210
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 10/05/2026I have seen a number of people expressing surprise at the Lewisham result because the Labour council were "good". Good at what? Conducting endless reviews into support for children with SEND but never actually doing anything? Putting yellow tape on fly tipping? Running inaccessible consultations? 100
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Well that's a Green council in Lewisham. I was not expecting this at all, I was hoping for a solid opposition. This is a massive rout. Crazy stuff. Be very interesting to see what happens next. 120
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Assuming the mayoral victory for the Greens bodes well for a more diverse council generally in Lewisham. One party councils are just a bad idea, politics needs opposition. 110
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 08/05/2026This has been a very shitty week and I am very glad it's finally Friday. 000
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 08/05/2026No rush guys. No rush. What were we going to do all weekend anyway? 100
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 26/04/2026So someone finished the marathon while I was still stood there letting people into their starting pen? Nice. 000
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 26/03/2026I am reminded of my ex-boss drumming into us that if our research results were very interesting they were probably wrong. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...bbc.co.ukChurch attendance report pulled after YouGov finds 'fraudulent' responsesThe original report claimed a rise in young people attending church in England and Wales. 050
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Helped the eldest struggle through a descriptive writing exercise for GCSE English Language. Eldest is genuinely a very good writer. Everything in them bristles at English Language GCSE because it isn't about writing well, it's about how much description and punctuation you can throw in. 120
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Welcome to my brain where a conversation about automatic Vs manual cars has had me singing 1 2 Step by Ciara and Missy Elliot for the past hour and a half. 140
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Did my first ever parkrun in 2013 and today I finally ticked off my 50th. Might have been one or two volunteers in between those that kept me busy. Nice to be a runner and a volunteer now though. 060
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Conversations with a 15 year old: "Wait, Tony Hawk is a real person?" "Yes, what did you think he was?" "Video game character". 100
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Quite excited to see things I planted actually seem to be growing and not instant dying. Admittedly they were well established when I planted them, but never underestimate my ability to kill a plant. 110
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I have read this out to my kids and resulted in a lot of laughs and a wistful "I wish my school was like that" from the youngest. 010
Ceona @ceona.bsky.social · 07/03/2026So it turns out leaving your unopened bags of mulch outside is a bad idea. I'm guessing the foxes were big fans. This will be a fun clean up job. 110
