Trying to write, got an unpublished novel, The Errand Boy all ready to go.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.

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.

Sour, sweet, and entirely unexpected. Our cherry milk chocolate ganache truffles, coated with sour cherry sherbet crystals, bring a playful twist you won’t find anywhere else. 🍫🍒

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.

Just listening to a random running podcast interview as I do some emergency shopping....milk, sausages fake beer.
Interviewer: Have you got a plan for the race?
Runner: Well I'm a bit of a scientist so I've used Chatgpt to do a plan.......
What sort of scientist? A mad one???

My Christmas present I bought for myself, off Amazon, because I was not paying £50+ for it....the gorgeous part 2 of the Dune book of the 2 part film. I got part 1 last year.
Now I have to wrap it and be all excited when I open at Christmas 🎅
Ps....it's sealed so no peaking but it looks beautiful.

Signy Research Station is open for the season! 🎉
This team in the South Orkney Islands research seabirds and terrestrial ecology.
They were dropped off by RRS Sir David Attenborough - along with a band of helpers who cleared the snow, hauled in cargo, and helped bring power and water online 💙

Captured from Dutch heathlands 🇳🇱 — where the sun swelled into a blazing, perfect sphere and aligned exactly behind this lone winter tree, turning every branch into a silhouette of molten fire.
