Strapping in to play Witcher 3 properly on PS4. I’ve only dabbled before, but I’ve finished re-playing RDR and RDR2 in exhaustive detail and I think it’s time. Just need the various updates to download and I’m going in.

Watching David Olusoga’s documentary on the investors behind the slave trade, I was once again struck by the thought that we really need to be actively teaching this and facing into our role in the trade. I can’t forget Kemi Badenoch, a woman of west African descent, loudly proclaiming that […]

Just blocked a page called “Europe Videos” that was appearing in my feed on a politics hashtag, but confusingly for a page with an EU flag as their avatar seemed to mainly post GB News content. Fuck that.
I have a complicated history with my weight and don’t weigh myself often as it triggers unhealthy thoughts. I did weigh myself this evening as I’ve been feeling flabby. ….I’ve lost weight. 🤷♀️

1st 5k erg of the winter #rowing training season. Low rate (18) and I tried to focus on steady rather than going too hard and dying. Went okay. Need to find some power, but that’s not my primary concern this year. I’m not 100% at the moment and my legs are quite a bit weaker than they were last […]

Please rest assured that, as one of France’s newest citizens, I will be exercising my mandate to vote in every single election to try to keep Le Pen and the far right out of power. It may not be enough, but I will do my bit. 🇫🇷
I’m now in week 2 or maybe 3 of a persistent, low level cold. I don’t feel dreadful, but I’m a bit achy, have a headache and a runny nose. Operating at maybe 85%; good enough to function, but ill enough to feel a bit shitty. Welcome to the next few months, I suppose. Flu/Covid jab on Saturday […]

My partner and I recently returned from cycling the Hadrian's C2C cycle route, having cycled 260km with 2,000m of ascent in 4 and a bit days. I'd never done a multi day cycle trip before, so obviously the first one I thought I'd try was a four day journey […] [Original post on mastodon.org.uk]
Channel flicking before bed, we stumbled across the scene in Platoon where they burn a village. What I learned today is that my wife has NEVER watched Platoon before. This obviously will not stand, although I can’t realistically expect her to watch it right now.
#parkrun number 315 for me this morning. I don’t run much these days and my body has been struggling this week (3x1k on the erg at 26, 28, 30 and some leg presses in the gym last night maybe didn’t help). By 4k, I was dragging my left leg… but I made it round in about 36 minutes. My PB days are […]

This bullshit is predictable, but infuriating as they know full well that this is true and we didn’t have a small boat problem before leaving Europe and the Dublin Convention. Not to mention that illegal migration has halved under this government. Fuck these people […] [Original post on mas.to]
Woke up from a nap to hear the cat flap clunking as the cat burglar from down the road let themselves out after devouring our cat’s breakfast. Our cat was asleep in her window hammock. We’re going to have to stop leaving her food down, aren’t we? #cat
I saw a bald man yesterday with hair and Elvis style sideburns (badly) tattooed on. Takes all sorts, eh?

Sorry to say, but Ted Lasso s4 is poor. There are flashes of what made the show great, but the rest of it is pretty dreadful. For a show bankrolled by Apple, it also seems oddly cheap. The extras are thinly drawn caricatures and acted appallingly. Don’t get me started on Tracy Ullman: a terrible […]

If genocide is the systematic and widespread extermination or attempted extermination of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group… then the opposite of genocide must be the systematic and widespread creation of a national, racial, religious, or ethnic group? Huh. Looking at the IDF in […]

Two of my favourite recent (-ish. Both already more than a decade ago!) gig experiences were watching bands that were important to me as a teenager in the company of my oldest friend. There’s no way to explain the depth of the connection the music has given us than watching Metallica at […]

Where do you even buy those massive inflatable dinghies? My guess would be the middle aisle of the big Lidl in Calais. Boat numbers have halved? You can prove anything with facts. That’s like saying we didn’t have a small boat problem before Brexit when we were part of the Dublin convention.
Well, I for one feel all the safer for the gangs of white men in masks with domestic violence convictions patrolling the streets. Don’t you?
I’m the middle of three brothers. I was diagnosed with #MS aged 35 after 4 years of symptoms. My younger brother was diagnosed a few years later at the same sort of age, his diagnosis made easier by the fact the neurologists knew I already had it (apparently a direct family link significantly […]

Just bought tickets to the manic street preachers / suede tour in November. £70 a head. I’m sure it will be great, but ouch!
Just bought a Christmas t-shirt and I’m not even sorry. I have many already. My most recent was Trading Places’ suicidal Santa, but this year I’ve gone for Marley & Marley.
Watching David Olusoga’s latest documentary on the slave trade. I studied history to masters level and never really covered slavery, particularly not Britain’s role in it. This really should be something everyone knows about. If you’re not shocked, then you haven’t learned enough. The ripples of […]

One of the guys I coach won an award this evening at the annual club bash. He came off a C25K in 2023. His first parkrun was 37:03. At some point, he stopped surviving my sessions and really bought in. He’s had 29 parkrun PBs in the last 12 months (including event PBs, but even so!) and his […]

I’ve decided that the one thing worse than watching reports of Trump’s bullshit on #Newsnight is watching Matthew Syed manspreading and mansplaining on the Newsnight sofa.
