A beautiful sunny morning in TW. 🥳

This is interesting.

Recently, for *obvious reasons*, I've been thinking about what it means when anxiety and sadness are caused not by individual predispositions, but by the state of the world itself. This led me to early 19th-c. France and the notion of "mal du siècle" (sickness of the century) aeon.co/essays/young...

Have you been to Portofino yet @jlproger.bsky.social?

Finished another excellent book. The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin. Took me a while to get into it but definitely worth persevering to the end. #booksky #reading

First time under 25 minutes at @rtwparkrun.bsky.social in nine years. Keep trying . #parkrun #loveparkrun

Congratulations to TW Lib Dems for increasing their majority on TWBC. #localelections

I'm in Tunbridge Wells Assembly Hall for the only election count in Kent today. One third (13 seats) of Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is up for election, plus two by-elections, giving us 15 seats up for grabs. We're expecting results to come in from around lunchtime.

Inequality reaches record levels in the UK

Congratulations 🎉

Enjoying watching the delight with which @briteeyedviolet.bsky.social is reading the last few chapters of Middlemarch #booksky #reading

I’m not a great film buff but Francois Ozon’s The Stranger is a wonderful film, adapted from Albert Camus’ superb novel. Seen at the Curzon Soho w/ @briteeyedviolet.bsky.social #film www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ap...

Long run day today.

A fine weekend dominated by running. Starting with 30 minute pacer duties at @rtwparkrun.bsky.social’s anniversary event, being inspired by the London Marathon on Sunday and finishing with a gentle Sunday run with @briteeyedviolet.bsky.social #parkrun #running

Finished another book. Herscht 07769 by László Krasznahorkai. #booksky #books

Discovery: When a parasite invades a cell, the cell’s mitochondria react by shedding their outer layers to form brand-new cellular compartments — or organelles — that digest molecular trash. go.nature.com/4vOBll3

Soft Machine. Thirteen. New cd. Very good. 🙂

1-1 draw in the Final. I’m claiming the series. w/ @briteeyedviolet.bsky.social #universitychallenge

Great final. Both teams were fantastic. Madgwick - a ‘genius‘. Even Miriam said so. #universitychallenge 👏

A feeling of well being and happiness danced through my consciousness around the time I was taking this photo. Must be the sunshine.

Looking forward to seeing lots of people at Parkrun in the morning and at the @rtwparkrun.bsky.social social tomorrow evening. #parkrun #loveparkrun
