Despite depression and burn out I’ve been forcing myself to run 4-5 times per week. This week was a good one. Just done 6 miles and hit 20 for the week. Nothing compared to some but I’ve not run much these last months.

Sometime I’m just minding my own business, all is well and then my brain will remind me that UB40 exist 🤬

So Tim Davie resigned because the BBC was alledged to have edited a Trump piece and not because of the obvious bias towards the likes of Farage and others on the right?

A week off with no plans and not having to do anything was nice. The thought of going back on Monday is awful. Been told I’m burnt out but my GP is doing nothing. I don’t feel like I can work any more. I’m just numb and dissociating but pretending to be fine while I’m there. It’s exhausting.

Stupid character limit on this platform. Dear oh dear.

Ah the start of another day where I definitely won’t be buying a Tesla.

I’m just like gluten free bread. Expensive and will fall apart very easily.

Holy forking shirtballs

Have you heard the one about the Coeliac who accidentally consumes some gluten of the first day of his week off? 🤦🏻‍♂️

I’ve run 15 miles this week. 5 x 3 miles. Not a lot really. In part it’s because of my injured toe and issues with scar tissue in my heel. Another is that I’m not enjoying running. I’m doing it only to keep fit but that’s not enough. Not sure what I’ll do if I can’t find the joy in it again.

A day late but there is only one Halloween film.

I have a weak cough, sorry, week off work. Woohoo.

Some terrible shots of a couple of great shirts from @causticwaves.bsky.social Great band and one of my top finds of this year. Do give them a listen.

Love the colours of this Aeonium.

I won’t capitulate to Starmers’s leftist elite diktats and so I won’t be putting my clocks back an hour tonight. Say no to wokeism.

Oh yeah Bluesky. Hello. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Just listening to Black Flag and nursing this….

A lot of you are still using Twitter it seems. Bad look.

Had a week or so off from running as I’ve been unwell. More like more unwell than normal. It wasn’t awful but I’m so fed up with the slow build up of fitness that then gets stuffed by illness. I’ve had more comebacks than Status Quo. #RunningPunks

Just laying in bed on a Saturday morning reciting the names of all of Wu-Tang Clan.

Super scrappy fight with Royal Knight Loretta. Blooming slow colossal swords 😂 #eldenring

Gamers. Where are you? Need to follow especially if your PS5 gaming.

First 5K under 30 mins for ages today. Despite being depressed, burnt out and eating my feelings I’m managing to be consistent with my running. I’m still not enjoying it though. #RunningPunks

I love using Bluesky. It’s great for when I want hardly anyone to read something.

Terre a Terre in Brighton for dinner tonight. Absolutely outstanding. I’m stuffed and happy.

Went to a museum in Wimborne and learnt of a man called John Low who inherited a stationers. He hated the customers and locked the doors after a year with the instructions that they not be opened until his death. I love that energy.

Out and about. Wimborne. Getting Sandford from Hot Fuzz vibes 😂

Ran for just over 7 miles this morning and, for the first time in several months, it felt like there is still a runner somewhere in me. #RunningPunks

Well these are new. Haven’t flowered for at least three years and suddenly here they are. Got a white orchid next to it. They look amazing.

These days this is what passes as a really good run. I’m nearly okay with it. #RunningPunks

Saw my first spray painted 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 while out running this morning. On the side of a bin. Not really the statement they think it is. Bunch of knuckle-dragging, thick as mince flag shaggers. I hope they get hit by cars while painting roundabouts or fall to their deaths hanging flags from bridges. Scum.

Elden Ring melee run update: made it to Morgott. Bleed build is coming along nicely. I was really apprehensive for this fight but got him on the second try. Forgot about the exploding phase two start but oh well. #EldenRing

I’m at the listening to Muse stage of depression. 😭

It’s a couple of days over two years since I was diagnosed with Coeliac Disease. Literally not a cause for celebration. Hate it.

Not been running much lately as I’m overcome with depression and what might be ‘functional freezing’. I’ve forced myself out the door two days running (pun intended) as it seems better than not doing so. I haven’t enjoyed them though and it all feels like a waste of time. #RunningPunks

Starmer’s ‘Labour’ Party disgust me. Almost indistinguishable from the Tories now. So happy to have voted @greenparty.org.uk at the last election and I will continue to do so.

Anyone had experience of ‘functional freezing’? How did it manifest and what did you do about it?

I’m already on meds for depression and anxiety but I’ve been feeling a lot worse for several weeks. Did an e-consult and the best they could offer was talking therapy but an appointment is likely to be at least six months away. When I asked what I do in the meantime the GP had no answer. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why the hell do I need age verification? I can remember when we only had three TV channels.

I feel like sitting quietly and playing my video games is about all I can manage these days but I have to go to work. It’s exhausting me.

Oh my days. An actual brand flipping new track with vocals from @nin.com I love it. youtu.be/-Sj-FmI5JfA?...

5 mile run done before working from home. This is the way.

Went for a run at 6am this morning. No one about and not to warm either. It felt much easier than running after work. I might make a thing of it.

I am listening to Tool for the first time ever after thinking that they would not be for me. They’re pretty good actually. Who knew?

Elden Ring. After 300+ hrs using spells I decided to start a new game with only melee weapons. Here’s me against first boss, Margitt. Learnt a fair bit. Never used Bloodhound’s Fang before. At +2 it did much more damage than the +5 Uchigatana did. Still a lot to learn but happy with this.

Weekly I forget this place exists post. How are you all?

Keir Starmer is going a great job….. ….of ensuring that the bloody Tories get in again next time. 🙄

So little happening on here. Did a post that got one like. Same post over on Threads got 429 likes, 31 comments and 29 reposts. 🤷🏻‍♂️

With all this Bob Vylan stuff going on has anyone thought how it might be affecting Thom Yorke?

Ant chums 🥰

Really getting no joy from running of late. I’m tired of struggling with health issues and getting back to fitness. I don’t get the benefits to mental health that I need. I’m just doing it out of obligation to my physical health and my worries about weight gain. I feel like I want to give it up.
