Went for a 5K run inspired by a friend’s social media post. Pleased to have done it and must do it more often!

@georgeadam.bsky.social I’m at the fundraiser for the Beatson Cancer Charity. 4 St Mirren Hospitality tickets currently going for £210 for next season. Shall I send you the link to bid in the silent auction? 😂

Keith Robson @keithrobson.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

So “free tuition fees” referenced in @scottishgov.bsky.social Programme for Government by @johnswinney.bsky.social but should have added ‘only if a full-time campus undergraduate’. Part time students forgotten again #PartTimeLearningWorks

First cycle of 2025 - the classic combination of fair weather cyclist and “all the gear with no idea” - clearly what was called for was a 30k cycle. It is of course all uphill for the last 4k! With 2K left muscles were cramping that I never knew existed! 😂 🚲☀️

6K canal run in Manchester in the sunshine. Time for cool down, shower, pint and then dinner with colleagues. Happily paid the £1.20 Manchester tourist tax! Looking forward to tomorrow’s @policywise.bsky.social roundtable

Good to back on the indoor bike after not being able to get it working over the winter. Seems to have fixed itself 😂 Another string to the fitness campaign bow. My watch tells me k did far more calories than the @zwift app 🚴‍♀️

I see we have claims and counterclaims about the “protection of free tuition fees” in Scotland. Can I please point out that you’re only talking about full-time undergraduates and once again forgetting about part time students! @scottishlabour.bsky.social @thesnp.bsky.social

Keith Robson @keithrobson.bsky.social · 08/01/2025

How hard is it for Scottish Government Ministers and MSPs in general to remember that ‘free tuition’ relates to full time undergraduate students? Watching back this morning’s committee evidence session and three inaccurate references already twenty minutes in. Part time students forgotten again!

More concerned Gordon is still in goals after the last game. Saved us so many times but he’s not the future…

Try being a constituent who was bombarded with ‘local champion’ leaflets! Still livid a day on from the news. She bare face lied to the electorate and made mugs of her colleagues. Almost feel sorry for their next candidate if they stand one. I wouldn’t be sure in their position but assume they will.
