Trying to write, got an unpublished novel, The Errand Boy. 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, politics or loonies, please.

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.

Tonight's Samurai Sunday Cinema starts with the 1990 version 13 Assassins - not to be confused with the 2011 version (which is great). #Filmsky

But on a lighter note look at all the pigeons on the roof in the rain

Trying to go to sleep..... listening to a podcast on Dune, Gom Jabbar.
Got my sleepy tea and curtains open so I can wake up at 3am and check if it's snowing.
Also......my effing toes are killing from my long run today. How was your Saturday? 😅

A nice sunny 15 miles of mostly road running, a big round trip to Ilkley and back. I would prefer #trailrunning but I need to get consistent mileage and this is my longest run in an age.

Book 2 of a 5 part biography on #ErnestHemingway by Michael Reynolds.
Say what you will about Hemingway, they wrote a hell of a lot of biographies about him.
He was a deeply flawed man and author but he is..... endlessly fascinating.

I know this is not helpful but next time a doctor's receptionist says it's 4-5 weeks for a non urgent appointment, i feel like saying what if we, taxpayers, withhold your salary for 4-5 weeks, would it be seen to then?
