Actually blocked someone I don't know for being a dickhead at me specifically yesterday. Don't think I've ever had to do that before, not even on Twitter.

Two hours on foot to get here, nine minutes by train to get back where I started. I'm sure it was worth the effort somehow.

The view from there: SNL UK's "Weekend Update" tackles Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's U.S. tour.

I wouldn't usually wear a band t-shirt to the same band's gig, but tonight I'm making an exception and dug this one out.
A t-shirt based on the sleeve of the Flamin Groovies' first album.

Killer feature idea: A way to follow someone so you only see their reposts, not their original content.

Late last night, quite drunk, I'm trying to play along to the solo from Go Your Own Way, and it's horrible. Wrong notes, doesn't even seem to be the right key for the song. I give up, frustrated. This morning, sober, I put a tuner on the same guitar and find it tuned to open E. That'll do it.

Genuine photos from Facebook posted by friends trying to watch the eclipse. One from Spain, the other from Britain. No further captions needed.

Bonus point at the pub quiz tonight for drawing the tattoo you'd most want removed from your body.

Can't get in at the local tomorrow night, so the pub's going to have to come to me.

@champ.org.uk Are you planning to watch it later, or trying to keep your head in the sand as long as possible just for the sake of it?

Another trip ends in the usual way: a pint on the the Dunkirk ferry and a month of waiting to see how many foreign cameras I missed.

Half this bar in Auxerre just joined in with the Marseillaise. Don't think that'll happen in my local tomorrow night.

430 miles from Carcassonne to Auxerre in 40 degree heat. Not the brightest idea I've ever had. Two cold showers and I'm still sweating.

180 twisty miles before lunch, on the always-fun D118 up from Carcassonne. Now time to fuel up in Saint-Flour, then eat some serious miles north and see how far I get before the heat finishes me off for the day.

Having a quick lunch after leaving Spain. In Spain. Inside France. But it's definitely Spain.

So... I was at home in London and fancied a proper Asturian cachopo. Hispania on Lombard Street wanted twenty quid plus side dishes and service. Four days, 1200 miles and a heatwave later...

Spain. The only country I've found where you need to know *where* you are to be able to order a beer of the right size. Tonight, I give you the cañon.

Missed the turning for the Col du Somport and ended up taking the tunnel across the border instead. 18 degrees inside the tunnel, 42 degrees on the approach. Going in was like jumping into an ice bath. 🔥❄️🔥

God I love having a random day off to just potter about and do bits and bobs. Makes me really look forward to the day I can jack the day-job in forever.

Last email sent. Laptop closed. Tunnel ticket booked. Bag packed. Just a few things to tidy up tomorrow and then I'm on the bike for eight days. Wonder where I'll end up this time. 🇨🇵🇪🇦🇲🇩🇵🇹🇮🇹🇩🇪🇧🇪🇷🇸🤷

There's something about the "if you know you know" smugness of those Name & Name & Name & Name tshirts that absolutely boils my piss, despite smug being my own leading personality trait.

Another walk today, and that can only mean one thing: Dishoom double bacon naan roll for breakfast. Between that and the beer along the way I should be able to offset any benefit. #caloriesincaloriesout

So I've got a week on the bike coming up and it's just occurred to me that I have a (not entirely exclusive) choice between going places and visiting people. Any of my handful of followers fancy lunch (or even a houseguest for a night, I'm not picky) or am I just hammering to Asturias for a cachopo?

A full day of socializing at a work event and I'm drained to zero. Ten minutes round the corner with a pint of Pride and ACDC pumped into my earholes and all is right with the world again.

Are we all doing this now? I'd have classed myself more social democrat than democratic socialist by instinct, but as balls go it's much the same court.

Finally gave in and bought a cheat's bike. Feels a bit weird stopping at a pub after nine miles and feeling as fresh as if I'd driven here. Witchcraft.

A long way for a shortcut, that's the Paddington Arm finished, and the whole 25 miles of canal from Limehouse to Hanwell ticked off. Starting to run out of flat routes to walk. Thames Path next maybe. How far is it to Cirencester anyway?
