Unsolicited kit pic.

Rosalind, my grey and white domestic shorthair cat, when she was a tiny 6-week old kitten. Her fur is mostly grey, except for a bit of a moustache round her mouth, and a white bib on her chest, and she has fabulous white whiskers. Her eyes are still blue, as she’s so young, and neither are pointing in the same direction. Her ears look huge, and her head is inexplicably pointy. She’s adorable.

Cardiff half marathon, before and after. Last half of the year, lads. Lovely to meet so many #RunningPunks in person. Turns out yous are all actual 3D humans! Who knew?!

Oh, that’s so sad. She was championing the environment until the end, which seems very fitting.

Today’s attempt at a run was considerably more successful than the last effort. 13km along the incredibly autumnal Clyde as a dress rehearsal for 13.1 miles next Sunday in Cardiff. Hope to see some #RunningPunks there!

LOL NEVERMIND. I just realised I threw my contact lenses in the bin at bloody 5:30 this morning.

I give up.

I have returned from Bravissimo in triumph (god bless Newcastle for having things open later).

I’m having a lie in tomorrow, but Sunday’s long run is now a go-er!

Guess who excitedly got up at 5:15am, planning to go for a run and explore Newcastle before her conference started, only to discover that she’d left her sports bra in Glasgow, and had in fact gotten up two hours early for NOTHING?

Nina @ninaneedsspace.bsky.social · 15d

Oh, thank you! I was thinking of heading down to the river and going west for a few kms. MapMyRun thinks that’s OK, but a local’s insight would be amazing!

"You're overusing the word fascism" they say, as he goes after trans people and autistic people, and some people need to do some reading on 1930s Germany, because I don't think enough people understand how fascism embeds.

It is over for the genocide deniers.

Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide.

Those who supported Israel's onslaught:

You backed a genocide.

You will never scrub the shame away.

A run of two halves, two robins, and a crescent moon. Today’s effort was a short recovery run to warm up, and a progressive tempo run to proper get the cobwebs out. Lovely stuff. #RunningPunks

I saw Blusher supporting Daði Freyr a couple of years ago, and have been hoping to catch them again. I’m so chuffed I got tickets, but man alive, me and my knees are too old for more than one gig a week.

Nina @ninaneedsspace.bsky.social · 28d

Two gigs? In one week?! Who do I think I am? Saw the brilliant Daði Freyr (again) and Montaigne on Wednesday, and the perfect pop stylings of Blusher last night. If there’s any justice, Blusher will be playing much bigger venues than the dinky Poetry Club at SWG3 next time they’re here…

The very tall Daði Freyr on stage at the Old Fruitmarket in Glasgow, he is lit dramatically from behind by an orange spotlight.
