Lovely - but hot - walk today on the #LondonLoop from Uxbridge to Harefield West with @walking-class-hero.bsky.social

Exeter excursion- finally made it to the lido while @walking-class-hero.bsky.social watched the football and then 14 Iced Bears played a stellar set at The Cavern including Sure To See, Hayfever, Cut and Balloon Song - what a delight!

3rd gig of the week ! me & @clarewadd.bsky.social went to the Hampton Hub (another new venue for both of us) to see the marvellous Slim Chance - as good as ever but miss the smilin' face of Steve Simpson

One of the great things about living in south west London is the ability to go and see the wonderful Slim Chance at a variety of local venues. First time at Hampton Hub Club tonight for me and @walking-class-hero.bsky.social - and here they are playing The Poacher. 2025 gig 12 if my maths is right.

Excellent visit to Crystal Palace subway, the Cordoba of SE19, with @walking-class-hero.bsky.social this morning. It’s open very rarely but well worth making plans to go.

Winter in Richmond Park, #London 📷🌳 #LoveLondonWalkLondon

We had an enjoyable walk last Wednesday despite the mud around Happy Valley and Chaldon church. Dry for once. It was great to get served quick enough to have a pub lunch at The Fox together. #Ramblers #walking

Math is hard

This will be excellent.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Hemmar2 #SlowWays between Hemel Hempstead and Markyate. Lovely, despite the sleet, which could be seen in advance, rolling in over the hills.

Now here’s something you don’t do every day … tea and cakes with half of @theloftuk.bsky.social and @wiaiwya.bsky.social at Mario’s Cafe in Kentish Town. Couple of songs from the new LP and the world’s greatest B-side (‘Got A Job’) as we all held up our phones to film some vids. Jolly lovely.

Nice to see a PR firm is sending out an embargoed press release to the media for a story I have already written about. *smug mode activated*

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill). Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill). Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)
