I'm sure you are already aware of her but I've just found Vanessa Stockard and loving her work featuring Satan the cat and little Kevin.

Ridiculously hard race done and time to recover by the lake. Sorry to be saying goodbye to Slovenia tomorrow

Beautiful Slovenia. Just kicking around getting ready for a ridiculous day tomorrow.

Tramwatch. Loved my trip on the Trieste to Opicina tram, which also is part funicular #nerd

Flying visit to Munich on my way to Austria tomorrow. Market sausage, shopping arcade wine, and boob fondling of statues - i don't see anyone ask consent.

Just sitting on the floor of a train vestibule casually doing 266km/h. In fairness I should be on a local rattler doing the more scenic route, but with cancellations, delays and a lack of any staff to speak to, I've decided not to risk it. UK railways are not terrible (ducks)

Had a lovely time in Aachen on my journey to Austria. Strong statue game. Next stop Munich (although I think I'm in for a day of it as the trains are up the spout - it's not just in the UK!)

Really enjoyed this on the I Player, lots of interesting characters. There are a few more from the same era to look forward to.

First time in Pembrokeshire - seems reasonable. Yes, we did have to climb those steps.

After an 8-hour train marathon, I was rewarded by a trip on the Glasgow Metro, which is BEAUTIFUL 😍 and then off to Ballachulish for a reasonable view.
A Glasgow Metro train, which much smaller than the London Underground but very stylish - would recommend a visitThree pictures from a holiday cottage in Ballachulish,  the fire is stunning, and we are looking forward to a weeks hiking.

Tonight was Das Koolies in Newport (was livelier than this photo depicts). Tidy.

After a disturbed night with a disappointing result (suppose it could have been much worse), I was a bit late for my dog walking duties. Appreciating the beautiful morning though. Let's hope the new version is better than the disgraced former one.
All images are of a whippet x collie fog on a morning walk through some woodland including bluebells.

Wuppertal Schwebebahn appreciation post. Glorious 😍 😍
All images are of a hanging tram system. It quite often runs over the river but it hangs over roads too. It is perhaps a bit heavy on steel but is a fabulous system.

Really appreciating the sunshine and blossoms after such a long grey winter!

Fabulous time on the final recce for Butcombe, feeling it a bit today mind.
All four images show a group of runners on a recce round the Mendips. The start at Mendip activity centre,  passing through Axbridge and two from the climb out of Cheddar

Same, fell in love with it on holiday and since then have been practicing how to make it at home! 🍸🍹

Doing the recce of the east half of Butcombe yesterday was definitely the better choice. Currently sat in bed watching the rain.

Beautiful. A big improvement on the lumpy, bumpy path of before. Thanks #BristolCityCouncil or #Sustrans or whoever it was! #cyclepaths

Another one *elderly bristolian woman gif*. This week's run comes courtesy of the postponed 'turkey trot' in the Welsh hills. Mud conditions - liquid and slidey

Fab time recceing the first half of Butcombe from the Mendip Activity Centre to Axbridge today, despite the mizzle
All three photos show various scenes from the Mendip countryside, including a pole showing numerous direction signs with Crooks Peak in the background

It was all very French for lunch today. May have undone all the good work of the yoga class just before.

Cooped up due to the storm = excuse to make cocktails. Behold a Pisco sour!

'Heatongrad' well and truly took over in Leeds last night. Lots of love and appreciation on show from and crowd and back in return from Paul - emotional and lively. The Zutons also on top form.
Image shows a collection of enormous helium balloons bouncing around the crowd, bringing childish glee to those punching them into the air. There were, of course, several arseholes in the crowd who popped themPaul Heaton and band mid song in front of an enormous backdrop saying 'welcome to Heatongrad'The Zutons performing at their jangley best. Several of the band are sporting big wavey barnets.

Morning catchies in the frost!
Both images show a black and white whippet x collie (wollie) either anticipating a ball throw or merrily gambling back with the ball on a frosty field with a pink morning sky

Morning and evening commute, lovely day for it! Still think this route should include a tram (especially think this on the long, slow uphill home)
Both photos show parts of the Bristol to Bath cycle path. A former railway route that would be marvellous repurposed as a tram route (with bikes on raised sections when it's a bit squeezed)

If you see this quote post a bridge. I was glad of this bridge as it shortened my route to the refuge at the end of a long day
