I’ve lost count of the number of times I have unsubscribed from Nextdoor digest emails. Please just leave me alone.

Well I’ve done a whole clockwise circuit of the M25 this weekend, except the section between the A2 and M26, and the short stretch through the M40 junction.

Hey London I’m not in you but I did get a view of some of your tallest structures from the Dartford Crossing at lunch time x

I was in a pub round here earlier this year and they had a book there called Diana Her Life in Fashion and let me tell you I was so thrilled to leaf through it supping my pint. So maybe they’ll end up somewhere like that.

I was pretty impressed actually!

This year’s student neighbour not long moved in seems to play the recorder (quite well actually). I feel like I’m living in medieval times.

Has anyone looked up Croydon the Rusical on any platform ever?

Colley Hill, Surrey: coffee break from birding the steep scrub. Love the plaque on the bench I’m sitting on

Tree surgeons working in the neighbour’s yard this morning. Funny as there’s only two of them.

So many possibilities for these signs

Gareth @milesbush.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Those pretty dull signs that say “Worcestershire welcomes you” should I think say “Worcestershire: the saucy county”.

Might have to rejoin “alarm clock Britain” it’s a bit dark now in the mornings to reliably wake up naturally before 7.

Always have to stop myself putting an x at the end of messages to straight male friends.

Last week I bought a packet of Royal Gala apples from Aldi and I swear they look and taste just like a Pink Lady. I feel like I’ve won the apple lottery.

Thankfully there’s another machine but the lads aren’t good at sharing

Gareth @milesbush.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

My one has definitely got worse at this. It never used to be more than a few days. Last time it was 8 weeks until they fixed something!

(I know I could switch exercises but I’m a creature of habit and that’s ok)

Pure Gym does not seem to attach any urgency to repairing its equipment these days. We are on another counter now with the pec fly machine (three weeks out of service) which is not great news for my tits.

So good. I will be laughing at Old Speckled Hun indefinitely.

On a stationary train with problems with its braking system and all they seem to have done is stop it.

I picked up a discarded playing card in the street it was the six of hearts what does this mean

Gareth @milesbush.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

And of course the clientele 👀

I wish I was off work today and on my way to Manchester for the weekend.

Other half is watching a documentary about the Costa Concordia and I’m just reeling off Titanic quotes, probably very annoying.

Maybe they only had the rat traps that’ll break their necks in stock and the nearest available humane ones were in Ipswich

Gareth @milesbush.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Like at least stand up between sets to give the impression you don’t mind sharing ffs

021

Gareth @milesbush.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Gym today a disaster because 1. headphones ran out of battery after about three seconds and 2. crucial piece of equipment out of order and people aren’t good at sharing the one that still works

Gareth @milesbush.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

You should have seen the mess

Gareth @milesbush.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I was working in a different office today and someone walked past me in the kitchen and fanned themselves and said it was hot. Unsure whether they were talking about me or the ambient temperature.

I received an unsolicited message on Instagram from a PT I guess I’ve made it now

I agreed to a free trial of Strava because I thought it would mean I could change the map to pride colours again only to discover that that option was removed some years ago :(

I’m so sweaty in the gym the print on the back of my T-shirt is transferring to the equipment oops

If you like marmalade, yes

Thanks for the advice Andy “Fossil Fuels?” Burn ‘em.

Just at my temple of sweat and surrender (the gym).

The argument that the actions of the UK government will make no difference to climate change is basically the same argument some would make to dissuade an individual from starting or joining a trade union. Solidarity is powerful and it can get results.

I have scaffolding up at home maybe I should charge people to use it this evening as an e-clips viewing platform

Well the tape still works but bit upset I didn’t record the EastEnders Eclipse Special. But they are talking to some old folks who witnessed the total eclipse in 1927 😍

You’re welcome to borrow it, perhaps with a bottle of Archers for the full experience? I was at home (at the time in York) and it was maybe about 80% “totality” I can’t really remember. My mate had those official specs you could buy but I wasn’t allowed any.
