one of three huge clumps of frog spawn in the pond much earlier than last year. @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social #spawnsurvey #frogspawn #frogs

No one runs for time, for distance, for health, for fun. The truth? We keep running in pursuit of the perfect shoe. One that feels exactly right every wear. Some find that only to have the brand change it for the worse a year later. The cycle begins again. It has always been and will always be this.

Anyone else watching Small Prophets on BBC? Very similar vibe to Detectorists but a lot more melancholic. No surprise really as Mackenzie Crook is behind it. Really lovely, gentle television.

Going to start an AI band called Oxford Comma and the Em Dashes

I just did a 5K run. My toe didn’t fall off.

My toe protested the following day and yesterday I caught it with the wheel of a shopping trolley and hit it on the end of the bed twice while asleep. Running is postponed again.

The Fiery Priest on Netflix has turned out to be one of the most enjoyable K-dramas so far. Often very dark but also very funny, almost slapstick. Like a comedy John Wick. It shouldn’t work but it does. Korean TV is hands down far more interesting than a lot of what comes out of the UK and US.

Tofu and chickpea curry. I have this down to a T. Always delicious.

Finally took my bad toe for a run. Also my first run since having my worst cold for years. The run was awful but my toe only twinged. We go again tomorrow. #runningpunks

Any of you lovely runners currently wearing the Altra FWD Via 2? If so, how soft is the heel collar/counter?

Feels like a day for @convergecult.bsky.social

I did not go for a run. Head says it’s still too soon so I listened.

I’m going to take my bad toe for a short run tonight. 😬

And Bloodborne is done.

Absolutely itching for a run but my toe still isn’t right. Might just buy some running shoes instead. 😬

Do you think he really lives here?

How does this place work? Why can’t I find the things I’m interested in or reach people that like those things? Maybe they’re not even on here. Does it feel lifeless to everyone?

I’m in the endgame of Bloodborne now. Mergo’s Wet Nurse is dead. I know what’s coming so I’ll finish the DLC first. #Bloodborne

I picked up this book back in 1999/2000 when my dad had a secondhand bookshop. It looked intriguing. I’ve since been trying to remember what it was called and now I finally have it. I hope it was worth the effort.

Playing this loud as fuck. @allfatheruk.bsky.social The last few minutes of By Sword…. are just huge 🤘🏻

I have a headache. Cause: working for the NHS 😂

Korean and Japanese dramas are such fun. I’ve been watching loads on Netflix and they have so many great ideas. Currently enjoying The Fiery Priest.

Lunch was a massive bowl of noodles with some peanut butter and tamari mixed in. Reader, it was delicious.

How are the UK right ring, soldier idolising gammons processing Trump and Farage’s comments. I bet there are some serious mental gymnastics going on.

Up early and headed to the Nightmare Frontier in #Bloodborne to tackle the Amygdala. The fight got off to a very shaky start but a solid attack and a visceral got its health right down.

Am I the only vegan without a book deal, podcast and YouTube channel?

I’ve been neglecting this site for a while so time to start anew. I like veganism, running, metal and electronic music, gaming on PS5, sci-fi and fantasy films and novels and gardening/indoor plants.

For someone who spends so much time barefoot you’d think I would be more careful.

Ran 10k this morning. Wasn’t awful.

Looking forward to reading this again. The first and only time was back in middle school about 45 years ago.

You can’t even leave mince pies out for Father Christmas without a Level 2 Certificate in Food Hygiene these days because of woke.

The ITV Carol service couldn’t be any whiter if it snowed.

I’m assuming these two didn’t make it back home after the washing machine Christmas party.

Christmas comes but once a year, And that’s still far too often for my liking.

Longest run for ages. I think there may still be a runner inside me. Or two. #runningpunks

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.
