New release day today. And I bring you the the new studio album from Swedish rockers, Europe. Don't be mistaken into thinking all Europe are about is the 80's parp of Final Countdown & the wimpy Carrie. Come The Madness cranks the rock up to 11. John Norum just shines on guitar. #MetalSky #Europe

Having a train/cycle commute is that now & then, people try to follow me through the barriers on my ticket. Young lad today decided to try his luck. He got pushed back. He jumped the barrier instead, into the arms of a plain clothed cop. I pay 4.5k for my season ticket, it's not for sharing.

Forgot to post from last week. A fab night out watching legendary NWOBHM'ers Demon put on an absolutely stunning show at the Red Lion Gravesend. Dave Hill the singer is 79 and still has an awesome voice. Don't Break The Circle folks. #metalsky #nwobhm

I have a serious case of Lumbago It friggin hurts so much so that I had to visit A&E over the weekend Asked the Doc if I had to rest from cycling. No he said. But don't push it. Words I wanted to hear. It's been three weeks. I'm now on the mend with meds, heat & massage #Cycling #BikeSky #Lumbago

At the cycling apparel marketing department team meeting. "We have some new socks in" "Socks? who calls them socks anymore? that's old hat, we need something more stylish, more dynamic, more bold and more exciting. Any suggestions team?" "How about 'Lower Leg Accessory'? "PERFECT!" #Bikesky #Cycling

Beyond epic is how I would describe The Odyssey. Watched in super iMax, it takes your breath away, both cinematic & audio. The camera work is immense, the soundtrack goes right through you. Everything about this movie, the story, the actors, & the acting is top notch It deserves all the hype.

For most of 2026 the love of my life Rachel has been battling breast cancer. It's been a long and hard struggle. Yesterday she was told that there's 'no evidence of disease'. She is cancer free. It's a very good day. Cheers and good health to you all. #fuckcancer

Phew that was a warm commute home this afternoon. No point pushing for any sort of pb's in that heat. So a fairly enjoyable 28 mile ride from Greenwich to Rochester, via Woolwich Arsenal. #bikesky #cycling #cyckecommute

What a fabulous film. My favourite of the year so far. So very well made. Striking, dark, dread, confusion, claustrophobic & disturbing. It makes you feel completely disorientated when watching. The 2 leads are brilliant Backrooms. #Backrooms #Cinema
