I remember as an 8 year old going to the 150th celebration- 50 years has gone in a blink. S&DR200

There’s something life affirming about being up at the crack of dawn for a dip in the North Sea.

Lost cunt .. er, count … of the C word, but she was excellent as expected

Late summer by the sea and gorgeous oysters with @j0nfuzz.me and @alexseewald.com

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched It’s A Sin, but it gets me every single time

Pup FM locked and loaded, trusty footwear on for first time in a good while, let’s see where my feet take me today.

Last one

Can’t remember the last time we had an August bank holiday with gorgeous weather. Mixed grill and a couple of pints in the local has rounded off a cracking day nicely before work tomorrow

Pootle round Morpeth and Amble yesterday, and a bracing skinny dip at Druridge Bay as the sun rose this morning, with @wpwbear.bsky.social. Coffee in the nip on a beach is weirdly unweird 😂

The three amigos assemble in a very sunny Northallerton. Nice pie and mash too.

Windy but warm walk. Cobwebs definitely blown.

Acclimatising in Kos. A cool 30C

Lovely day out at Robin Hood’s Bay. Weather was kind enough the stay dry for the most part

Couple of pics from Wednesday night

It's that time of year again...I try to play (a bit of) all this year’s Eurovision Song Contest entries on the piano. All 37 of them. @eurovision.tv #Eurovision2025

Camping at the town hall with Julian Clary, and probably more cocktails than is sensible 🥴

Few drinks, parmo and Kinky Boots. Shame it’s not Friday

Little trip to Greece (Leeds Playhouse) to see a performance of Shirley Valentine. Beautiful performance from Mina Anwar. Cooks a mean chips n egg too.

☀️ ✅ Garden tidied ✅ Shed reorganised ✅ New BBQ built (on hold for now) 🚫 🥵 ✅ Nana nap ✅ ✅

And a good time was had by all

Friends for 39 years and counting.

#Adolescence is a good watch, but I don’t get all the hype

The American people do realise that if #Europe ends up in a nuclear spat with #Russia, missiles will be heading towards the #USA too as allies of #Putin? #MAD

Our Director of Policy Peter Smith is on @bbcradio4.bsky.social @moneybox.bsky.social with @paullewismoney.bsky.social now, speaking about standing charges. He's discussing regional variations across GB and Ofgem’s new consultation on requiring energy suppliers to offer zero standing charge tariffs

Hi #StocktonConservatives. Just received your survey through the door regarding #StocktonCouncil. You left a question off: “Are you aware that 14 years of Conservative austerity and chronic underfunding of councils has led to cuts in services?” YES ✅

Starting a week off work with T-shirt weather 😁

What can I say about Big Boys S3 other than beautiful television. #BigBoys

Don’t often see this on UK supermarket shelves. Solidarity with #Canada

Hello moon, hello Venus

Great night out with big sis to see Jason Manford at The Globe. Back home by 10. Can’t be bad

You know you’re getting old when leaving the house at 8pm on a Saturday night to go for a drink feels like a chore. But I made it in the end

Sinus headache, both runny and blocked nose, and the beginnings of a sore throat. Noooooooo!! 🤧

A few pics from a 15km stroll today. Not had the proper walking shoes on in a while, so the feet are screaming a bit now 😁

Getting back to walking/running, healthier eating and a bit of calories counting, and I’ve now finally started to feel properly hungry again at the right times, after Christmas excess. 5lb down, 30 to go to target 🏃‍♂️

Beers and burger and spending time with friends. It’s what it’s all about
