This is my cat Bertie. He will only sit on my lap. He is very nervy and can be unpredictable even with me. You have to carefully watch for signs .

Binge watched two series on BBC tv this week. Riot Women and Blue Lights series 3. Both magnificent dramas and fine acting. Highly recommended
A frustrating week for exercise. Two one mile lots of gentle walking with one or two 15 seconds of jogging thrown in. Little improvement in pain on outside and back of knee. Definitely soft tissue stiffness and weakness.

Timekeeper at Gorey #parkrun on Saturday. 125 took part in good conditions
Publishing the statements has not exactly caused the matter to be put to bed! Just begs more questions.
Just watched #PMQS and felt Kemi Badenoch dug herself into a very deep hole asking her 6 China questions after Starmer’s China statement before the questions began. When the witness statements are published could be as embarrassing for Kemi as spelling Britain wrongly😆
I have had a week off all forms of exercise to give my left knee a chance to recover. Swelling has subsided though stiffness remains. Will try walking again tomorrow but no more than a mile. Was a timekeeper at Gorey #parkrun . 120 participants had ideal conditions of cool dry and no breeze.
It crossed my mind whilst showering this morning and resisting the urge to pee in the shower what Catherine Connelly would do in those circumstances.😂

It’s almost mid October but there are still some interesting pops of colour in our garden including a monster crop of crab apples.
No one can believe it. Frankly, I can’t either. No one’s done more for peace than him, nobody! He had 7 peace deals, people said it couldn’t be done but he did it. The bestest deal in 4000 years. That’s OK, the world knows the truth. It’s just another rigged decision, folks.

My wife and I moved here 5 years ago when both of us were in our 70’s. Beautiful place and people with sensible politics (PR). Agreements between the two nations make moving easy and if you are as old as us you get free healthcare.
Well worth a listen to this short clip.
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.
How could anyone think, with such a huge skeleton in the cupboard, that they could stand for the presidency of Ireland and for the facts not to come out? Total embarrassment for #fiannafail and #jimgavin .
Gorey #parkrun went ahead yesterday #StormAmy having passed through on Friday night leaving very cold and blustery conditions for the 120 participants. Being injured I will be volunteering for the foreseeable future. The finish volunteers needed to be well wrapped up!
“The Law is an Ass” Yvette Cooper. Time to reconsider what you are doing?
BREAKING: Heroic police officers save public from this terrifying terrorist who was holding a sign the government doesn’t like x
Great article. I am trying to limit my doomscrolling but it is addictive. Just that recognition helps me to reduce the time wasted so gradually weaning myself off my phone.

Less active month due to holiday away and injury niggles with right calf and stiff left knee. Did not achieve goal of sub 27 min parkrun.

October attempt to fix left knee.
I heard in the pub that the American #RyderCup players were upset that President Trump attended the golf yesterday. He and the MAGA crowd put them off. Apparently #Trump was heard to say he should have been on the team. Is cheating at golf allowed at the Ryder Cup?
A very cool wet and windy morning at Gorey #parkrun yesterday did not put off over a 100 participants and volunteers. Once running it’s never quite as bad as it looks from the comfort of somewhere dry. Not a day for an annual best but a comfortable 28:07 and fifth overall on age graded times.
Did you know that in the U.K. there are Jewish law courts as well as Sikh and Roman Catholic courts. So it should come as no surprise there are also Muslim #Sharia law courts. All these religious courts are not recognised under U.K. law and mainly deal with family and religious matters.
The U.K. were taken in by lies to vote for Brexit which has caused the increase in immigration both legal & illegal in the U.K. Now lies about immigration are being used by Farage and Reform to sway U.K. voters. Clever politics but very sad for the U.K. to fall for it. news.sky.com/story/nigel-...
Nigel Farage on course to be next prime minister, mega poll projects
The projection suggests 306 Reform gains, up from their current seat tally of five.

A President is meant to govern for all the people of America. Not Trump. He hates his opponents #CharlieKirk
Had 4 days rest, 2x daily massage of right calf with DMSO, taken ibuprofen & worn a calf compression sleeve. Result is a Sunday morning walk jog with no pain in my right calf! Yesterday I volunteered at Gorey #parkrun as timekeeper. We had our local TD (mp) and a minister Tom Chambers take part.
My walks up & down Croagh Patrick captured on Garmin. Sadly I was injured by the walk down. Although my knees were aching during the descent I found yesterday that I have a strain in my right calf and will be having a rest from running. I am volunteering at Gorey #parkrun on Saturday.
