Trying to write, got an unpublished novel, The Errand Boy all ready to go. Got some poetry under my belt, gone sober in Jan 2023. Ran a few marathons. Live in a lovely part of Yorkshire. No fascists, billionaires, s*x bots, A.I.s, DMs or politics.

I came to Bluesky because X (not twitter) had degenerated into a right-wing / fascist hell.
From 20 Jan 2025 there will be no American politics on my timeline. I gave it 8 years, it gave me anxiety and disappointment. You let in the clown, he brought the circus.
Follow / unfollow, up to you.

Went to the pub with my pal and his wife, the farewell tour so to speak as they jet off in their winter 3 months in the sun. Alright for some.
Anyway....2 different real fires and a lovely feeling of....normality out there.

7 miles run, it started off with a rainbow and ended up pouring down in freezing rain but thankfully I got back before it really set in.

Incredible footage of volcanic eruption of a dormant volcano in Ethiopia from a commercial plane.

Ok, my favourite photo from today's #trailrunning is my homage to Constable, or Turner.
It speaks of English northern countryside, mud, stone, fences, stile, rolling fields in the background and the heavens ready to unload.

A lovely flowing stream in my local woods, surrounded by mulch and trees in a wet wintery landscape.

This is a beautiful short ultra running documentary on a UK runner.
Stunning scenery and a tale of real emotional and physical bravery over his own health issues.

10 miles of cold #trailrunning but it was good, although I felt heavy and sluggish.
