What are others thoughts of using it? #ktape

David Bailey @davidmichaelbailey.bsky.social · 23d

I was alway sceptical of using k-tape but I have to admit my intial sneering at it was wrong - it does help

David Bailey @davidmichaelbailey.bsky.social · 23d

Despite a heavily taped leg it was great to get back out and into a pace stride! 🏃‍♂️ #runsky #runnersofsky #runnerslife

Sun ☀️ #SEO 🔎 #SanDiego 🌴

BrightonSEO brought together the #searchmarketing world for 2 days of talks, training and plenty of conversations that reminded me why I love this industry.

Loved swapping stories with people from the USA, UK, Europe, India, Brazil — and of course, us from #Estonia 🇪🇪

I’m in San Diego all week if anyone wishes to meet up and discuss business and digital marketing #digitalmarketing #sandiego #seo

Estonia- “the unsung Nordic nation.” Another article by the BBC on why you should visit Estonia 🇪🇪 www.bbc.com/travel/artic... #estonia #nordics

The 'Nordic' escape you didn't know existed

With Swedish farmhouses, Viking churches and €4 fika, Estonia feels profoundly Nordic, without the eye-watering price tag.

Readiness is no longer optional.

Fortivus helps institutions prepare for uncertainty—across civil protection, security and defence, and humanitarian response.

🌍 Build a world where resilience is proactive—not reactive.

Once my legs have recovered who knows how I feel 😂

David Bailey @davidmichaelbailey.bsky.social · Sep 14

Next time…?! I think I’m quite happy to ‘retire’ from marathon training 😜

David Bailey @davidmichaelbailey.bsky.social · Sep 14

Never, ever, give up! 💪

After 10 months of training, I finally completed my first ever marathon — an experience I’ll never forget.

Crossed the Tallinn Marathon finish line with a time of 3:41:29 🏃‍♂️ — and every [painful] step was worth it.

Shock horror! 😮 Surely not?! I found him most agreeable… #JaneAusten #MrDarcy www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

'He is such an awful man': Why readers are wrong about Mr Darcy

Mostly miserable and even "unforgivably cruel", Jane Austen's famous romantic hero is not what he seems, writes the author Sebastian Faulks, in an exclusive extract.
