Hi @iammuggs.bsky.social just on my way to the local hospice. I do a wee shift there. The people are lovely but I'm only in it for the home baking. 🤣 Hope you and yours are doing grand

Well we survived the marathon. The heat was brutal and I needed a bit of help from the medics at the finish line. Today we're sore but functional. Thanks to everyone who donated to Maggie's.

The shocking revelation that Paula Radcliffe ran Boston 5 minutes faster than my best half marathon time. If she gave me a 3 hour head start at London this weekend, she'd still overtake me. Athletes are scary fast.

These things here are emergency wreck buoys, and if you're thinking the colour scheme looks somewhat like a circus big top, just wait until you hear about the clown show that inspired their introduction.
Blue and yellow striped buoys stacked up in Harwich. That must have been quite some milkshake.

This is my recumbent, a Grashopper made by HP Velotechnik. It can be a little twitchy to ride sometimes, and it doesn't have the tightest of turning circles. Still, it's a fun bike. It also folds up so it fitted in my Mazda with the seats up or alongside a trike with the seats down. #Cycling

I've never willingly eaten a sprout. There's something about them I really don't like. This year, if £2000 is donated to my fundraising page by20/12/2024 with the message "Sprouts" then I will tuck in to a bowl of a dozen sprouts. www.justgiving.com/page/revsrun...

A genuine near miss report. Returning from the upper ground kitchen, carrying a hot liquid (tea) I was just about to walk across the reception when a six foot Smurf walked past waving its blue arms in the air. Fortunately I was able to stop in time, as the Smurf nearly knocked my tea from my hand.

Alt: It looks a lot like a smurf is dancing while farting. Don't we all deserve a dance and a fart occasionally?

I spoke to a sleep doctor the other day (I'm fine). they seemed a little disturbed to learn that my partially self driving car will drive for a mile after the driver goes to sleep Take regular driving breaks, or you will find yourself stopped in the middle of the motorway with your hazard lights on
