Mad Dogs and Englishmen Out for a 3 mile jog at 5:10pm. 33⁰C / 91.4⁰F in Worcester 🇬🇧 The hottest temperature I have run in, hotter than Indonesia 🇮🇩 (although I ran at 5am). #exercise #running #blueskyrunning #heatwave #fitover50

Good Monday! Apparently it rains a lot in the UK... Glorious weather at the moment. 🌞 📸 Bidford-on-Avon, Warwickshire 🇬🇧 #uk #weather #photography #heatwave #mondaymotivation

In next job interview should they ask me what my strengths and weaknesses are, my answer is simple. For both. Tea. And toast. #tea

Live scenes as Nigel #farage arrives at the House of Commons for #pmqs Someone open the fridge please. No use hiding Mr Farage.

Sunday. 6am in the UK. Good morning to all. Thought for today. #AI. It is frighteningly good... Ask Microsoft CoPilot to do an analysis or critique of a #poem and 10 seconds later you have a full, detailed explanation exploring themes, style, meaning etc. Astonishing really. Have a good day!

I didn't watch #Eurovision, but the result astounds me. With the horrendous genocide inflicted on the people of Gaza & Palestine, why are people voting for Israel? How did they end up in 2nd place? Blithe, wiful ignorance or tacit support?

So, Mr Farage, why did you receive £5m from a British Thai based crypto billionaire? It was a gift - for Brexit. Ah, yes. A grift. No a gift. Grift. Got it. #farage #ukpolitics

Sunflowers (Forget-Me-Nots) A new #poem We must not allow the war in #Ukraine to fade from our consciousness. While the world seemingly forgets the terrible conflict, Ukraine suffers, yet fights on to defend their nation. Слава Україні! Slava Ukraini! Glory to Ukraine! @ateafilledpoet

Cabinet ministers now calling for Starmer to resign along with 70 or so Labour MPs. Tuesday beckons after a night of Machiavellian political manoeuvring. Can...will Sir Keir Starmer survive or will there be yet another imminent change of Prime Minister? #politics #uk #starmer

Up before sunrise First cup of tea while it's dew My morning condensed #Haiku A very good morning to the man who is always first up and first to imbibe the golden pick me up @imcmillan.bsky.social

I live in the hopeful optimism of Bluesky. Yet the reality is the snarling, bigoted, unforgiving and nasty world of X. #Reform on course for huge electoral gains in #localelections How have #Labour messed things up so badly? What is Reform's appeal? So many questions. Anyway, #bekind we need it.

Up at 5am Check BBC election coverage Greens performing well...but Reform surging Voting for Reform - why? It feels akin to sheep voting for wolves in sheep's clothing All a facade, false promises Don't be surprised when the wolf eats you Utterly depressing Anyway, good morning #localelections

Good election morning to the UK and all who vote. Imagine my enthusiasm to cast my #vote 🗳 only to learn the absence of a polling card, candidates door knocking etc is indicative that Worcester in NOT part of the #localelections today Oh well. Go #green UK share.google/MXJySdTyZ79k...

Plan of Action Thursday #electionday Up at 5am Run at 5:30am Home around 6:15am Shower & breakfast 6:30am 1 minute walk to polling station in #worcester to #vote #green 🗳 at 7am No excuse not to vote Polling stations open 7am-10pm #localelections @greenparty.org.uk @worcestergreens.bsky.social

I go to bed & wonder when the sun & I rise tomorrow, #Farage & #Reform master(race)plan to construct detention migrant deportation centres in areas that didn't elect a Reform MP (ergo Greens) was all a nightmare. Let's hope the nightmare does not become reality. #vote @greenparty.org.uk

Vegan food you say? Boring apparently. Not so. Over 8yrs vegan and I love cooking so many varied dishes from around the world 🌎🍽🌱 . All 100% cruelty free. 📸 Home cooked vegetable balti (made fresh from scratch). #vegan #plantbased #healthy #nutritious #curry #veganfood #fortheanimals

1:59:30 for 26.2 miles around the streets of London. 🏃‍♂️ That is incredible. There are days I'll cycle for 2 hours and average 13mph...let aline running. In my defence Sabastian Sawe didn't stop for red lights or slow down for roundabouts. #londonmarathon #sub2 #sawe #chapeau

Malvern, Worcestershire, 🇬🇧 There's a reason Malvern was recently chosen as the best place to live in the West Midlands. Not just the hills, but a friendly, thriving, pleasant community centred town. 📸 Priory Park, Malvern. #photos #photography #worcestershire

Misty morning in Worcester UK 🇬🇧 But an early start was rewarded with a lovely sunrise. #Worcester #photography #sunrise #photos #calm

Well, that's not exactly what I expected. 2:2 #Barcelona vs #Newcastle Utd at half time. Newcastle playing well, holding their own, causing lots of problems for Barca. 80 minutes gone. 8:2 Oh 😲 ⚽️ #BARNEW #barvsnew #championsleague

Happy Mother's Day To all the mothers we cherish, those with us still and those who are treasured memories, a happy and blessed day. 📸 For my wife, a delicious home baked vanilla sponge with jam and coconut tray bake. #mothersday #baking #cakes

A week is a long time in politics...Remember Dear Donald told our 🇬🇧 Prime Minister Keir Starmer, that he didn't need our warships, or help from a country in a war 'after we've already won.' Always keep the receipts. I hope Starmer tells DJT to do one. No, we won't send ships🖕 #trump #Iran #nowar

One of those gorgeous spring days in #Worcester 🇬🇧 Still a nip in the air, but with the warmth of the sun in a clear blue sky, followed by a wonderful sunset. #photography #ukphotography #sunset

Petrol Price Watch In a week, petrol has gone from £1.31 to £1.43 per litre in #Worcester 🇬🇧 A 12p per litre increase or 9.1%!!! And it has only just begun. #petrol #petrolprices #ukpolitics #Iran #peacenotwar

Last week £1.31.9 per litre petrol This week £1.39.9 per litre petrol Who knows what the impact will be in a fortnight or a month. Thanks Donald. I'm sure it won't hit your pocket, your disposable income, your spending choices or ability to pay the bills. #petrolprices #Iran #ukpolitics

Just checked YouTube to see whether Liz Truss is still squawking into the void on her bizarre.. 'The Liz Truss Show.' It is. Latest episode 'Why Britain is Getting Poorer.' Er...Liz. Have a look in the mirror. Answer staring back at you. 23,000 subscribers. Really? #ukpolitics

Running while fasting is something I have done for many years. This year I am running and walking 100 miles in March for Acorns Children's Hospice. Fasting & running is tough. But the cause is definitely worth it. Donate at socialsync.app/fundraiser/c... #charity #fundraising #ukrunchat #bekind

Here we bloody well go. Starmer is allowing the UK to be dragged into an unnecessary conflict started at the behest of #Trump / Netanyahu. UK 🇬🇧 to allow US 🇺🇸 to use UK bases to take defensive action. I hope Cyprus remains safe as it will inevitably be a target now. #peacenotwar #iran

It Ain't Me Do your duty, sign up and fight. Unless you're fortunate and rich, ain't that right?! What a sorry state this world has become under the bombastic leadership of #Trump New #poem, 'It Ain't Me' #peacenotwar

Can you help me raise £100 for Acorns Children's Hospice? I have begun my challenge of walking/running 100 miles in March, along with a team of fundraisers Acorns supported my daughter Milla before she passed away in 2016 Thank you! #ukrunchat #charity #fundraising socialsync.app/fundraiser/c...

Is it possible we don't let Dickie Tice, Isabel Oakshott, Ant Middleton and the Rod Stewart plumber chap Charlie Mullins come back from Dubai? Perhaps give them a tent somewhere near Calais. #Migration eh? Sometimes you have to leave when you don't want to. #dubai #hopenothate #peacenotwar

I am genuinely in shock. Trump and Netanyahu have unleashed Pandora's Box. The iconic Burj al Arab hotel, hit by a drone attack and on fire. What happens next? I fear escalation and a conflagration across the Middle East. #trump #Iran #Dubai #peacenotwar #peace

I've travelled through Dubai many times...this is very disturbing. Casualties have been reported. #Trump & Netanyahu may have cut the head off the snake in killing Khameni, but who knows how this may escalate. A spectacularly stupid action by 'The Peace Maker' #Iran #peacenotwar

Running in Ramadan Fasting 5km... Hard work, but worth the effort. Now to wait until 5:40pm for my cuppa ☕️ Nice to see a bit of 🌞 in Worcester 🇬🇧 today. Enjoy your Saturday! #running #ukrunchat #fitover50 #exercise #outsideisfree

Waves of Green 💚 The Canutes stood. A line of sky blue Shouting at the waves. 'Go back! Go back! This is our land.' But the waves kept coming In thunderous green, Engulfing hate With hope. And then, then We saw the turning Of the tide. -- @zackpolanski.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk #hopenothate

Right.....I'm feeling very Salt(y). The But(t)ler has been dismissed. Salt (2) and Buttler (🦆) both out in first 2 overs. It's going to take a Harry Brook / Jacob Bethell special knock to win this. 🏏 #EngvsNZ #T20worldcup #cricket

Goodwin? No Badlose. But a seismic good win for the @greenparty.org.uk in #GortonandDenton. A convincing 4,000+ majority over Reform speaks volumes. 40.7% of the vote to the #Greens 💚 Add Labour 25% & Reform have been crushed. Hope, not hate. We are stronger together. #ukpolitics
