Face painting with a twist. Draw from a pot to see who will be painting you, then from a second pot to see what they will be painting. Then collect the relevant guide photo from the designs wall Did we all nail it? 😂

Rhabdomyolysis (or “rhabdo” for short) keeps popping up everywhere for me at the moment. It also seems that many endurance runners aren’t familiar with it, so here’s a whistle-stop tour: 🧵 1/10 (It's still brief, honest!)

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)
You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

"Roight, we'll get the 10.38 from Doncaster, straight down to Dover, to take our freedom back. Wear balaclavas. And black. We'll meet up outside the station.. that way we can get a Super Family Day Saver... Colin, if anybody asks, we're married and Trevor's 14."
"Why balaclavas, Graham?"
"Fucks sake Col, no civilian names!"
"Sorry Gra.. I mean, 'Dark Patriot', why balaclavas?"
"Cos we're super proud of our beliefs n'that... But we don't want anybody to see our faces."
"And why black?"
'..Cos it's slimming, Trevor!"
"erm.."
"What?"
"Well, won't we look like a load of incel, cos-playing ninja fuckwits, with the IQ of soup?"

This is shameful. We have seen it with our own eyes & have heard the reports from those who have spent time in Gaza @luke-akehurstmp.bsky.social it’s time you changed your tune. Lack of acknowledgement from our Govt is not based on assessment. It’s ducking this issue whilst ICJ judgement is pending

Fabulous Lakes break! Deets in ALT text Windermere water fun
My kids on 2 kayaks and a paddle board on Windermere. We had a 3-hour hire from Stoked Watersports and had the best time! We kayaked up the lake to where we were going to be staying and checked in. Had a picnic at the lakeside then kayaked back. 6km total and so much laughter!

Grasmere #LakeDistrict
An iPhone photo showing a view from the shores of Grasmere lake in the UK Lake District. The water is still and the trees and hills are reflected in it, giving an almost kaleidoscopic image. There are rocks and a glimpse of a pebble beach in the foreground and the sky is full of textured cloud

After an exhilarating but exhausting few days, I took just a few minutes last night to stop and breathe watching a beautiful sunset I love my home from home. It really does bring me joy and peace
My camper van, Babs, bought with a final gift from my very much loved and missed mum. It is parked by the side of the road by a field, with a fiery sunset behind it

Yep. If there's been any "dilution" of British culture since WWII it's been the widespread adoption of American norms into almost every sphere of our experience. The Disneyfication of practically everything.

Single-use grills pose a "significant risk to the public" in current drought and heatwave conditions, the government warns.

Made me jump out of my skin! But a worthy warning
Severe Alert
Issued by the UK Government

There is a very high risk of wildfires nationally. Residents, landowners and visitors should not undertake any activity that could start a fire, including disposable barbecues, firepits, garden incinerators or fireworks. Even a small flame can rapidly develop into a major wildfire placing lives, homes, businesses and emergency responders at risk.
Follow official updates and report signs of fire immediately by calling 999. Search gov.uk/alerts for more information.

What a magical & unifying experience… 💞 The lovely consultant I work with had a pair of eclipse glasses, which he shared with a group of 50 or so medics, patients, & passers by gathering outside and a colleague on our unit took this amazing photo through the glasses with his phone 📸 Dr Pravesh

Plenty of evidence that this is a negative policy step. Doctors, scientists: don’t just roll your eyes - call it out. The attack on truth, on institutional trust, is cynical and calculated. We must respond. 🧪 #medsky #episky #academicsky www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The Holocaust Tower in the Jewish Museum. It’s a dark, starkly angled, unheated room with a single shaft of light. There is a ladder, beginning high up the stone wall, a long way beyond reach. The architecture in this building has almost no right angles providing a sense of psychological discomfort
The Holocaust Tower. Dark, tall, angular and daunting. Lit by a single shaft of light. A room that feels disturbing and moving

Jack’s PW record attempt was one heck of a job Jack, like his forerunners on this trail, is a thoughtful person. He has a tangible connection to the Pennine Way that resonates with so many of us. It really was quite something to watch him push against the unbearable temperatures yesterday. 🧵
