Merry Christmas Bluesky. I hope you have a day full of love and laughter.

2 weeks today will mark the successful completion of my #nobeerforayear challenge. Not touched a drop of beer in 2025. Haven't missed it and I've lost weight. Still like an occasional glass of pinot grigio but might never drink beer again 🤷‍♂️

What the fuck is wrong with America that they elected this abhorrent POS as their president ? A truly dreadful excuse for a human who is beneath contempt. When will someone in the Republican party grow a pair and say enough is enough?

One of my all time favourite Christmas songs. When The Thames Froze by the brilliant Smith & Burrows open.spotify.com/track/12AKv7...

Lovely new song from @shapeslikepeople.bsky.social out today 👍 open.spotify.com/track/2LK6VB...

He really is absolutely deluded. It's time the Americans said enough is enough and get rid of this clown.

What a result that is 👍👍👍 back in the play-off places as well. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Popped on to Twitter. 99% porn bots and fascists. Grim.

Lovely Autumn morning, great skies. 10 miles walked. Fabulous bacon & egg bap and superb coffee at halfway too 👍

Amazing how when you're struggling mentally, music can just make things better. I honestly couldn't live without it.

The new album Alas, So Long by @redcavalry.bsky.social is now out on Spotify. Give it a listen 👍 open.spotify.com/album/6YoLeL...

When I started going to the gym a year ago, my first plank was 23 seconds before I collapsed in a heap. This was tonight's effort.

@redcavalry.bsky.social have a great new album out today on Bandcamp. Well worth a listen 👍 redcavalrymusic.bandcamp.com/album/alas-s...

What brilliant summer vibe this is. @sensesforever.bsky.social It's an explosion open.spotify.com/track/7u0dWw...

Definitely my album of the year and a really great bunch of guys. Give it a listen and give them some support 👍

260 miles and 5 hours driving but absolutely worth it. @sensesforever.bsky.social smashed it. Top tunes and a great bunch of guys as well. Lovely to meet you all 👍

Give your ears a treat and have a spin of the brilliant new album All The Heavens by @sensesforever.bsky.social Out today, it's an absolute cracker. open.spotify.com/album/68OLPM...

Just 1 more day to wait until the brilliant @sensesforever.bsky.social release their 2nd album "All The Heavens". Already has AOTY vibes for me. Here's the 4th and final track released so far, Call Me Out open.spotify.com/track/26DiLF...

It's now just 2 days until @sensesforever.bsky.social release their new album. Here's the 3rd track released so far, the hauntingly beautiful Have You Ever Had A Broken Heart ? open.spotify.com/track/5ggXos...

3 days until @sensesforever.bsky.social drop their second album. Here's the amazing Already Part Of The Problem 👍 open.spotify.com/track/4nXXBp...

4 days until @sensesforever.bsky.social release their second album. It's going to be epic. 4 tracks released so far, so I'll post one a day until Friday to get you in the mood 😁 open.spotify.com/track/1P0wHS...

Cracking new tune from @sensesforever.bsky.social released today. New album next week is going to be awesome 👍 open.spotify.com/album/6Pe1LJ...

Why do cycle clothing manufacturers seem to think everybody wants bib shorts ? I fucking hate bib shorts. Finding decent, affordable padded non bib shorts seems to be a bit of a job these days.

How can you take a sport where you can score more points and win more games than your opponent but still lose the match seriously ? Tennis. Rubbish.

Well, as Bon Jovi once said..."wooooahhhh we're halfway there...." #nobeerforayear Last beer - New Year's Eve. Don't really miss it. May never go back to drinking it.. 😱

We were there less than 2 weeks before this incident. I believe my pic shows where it happened. Scary stuff.

💥boom💥

May '24 v May '25. Not bad for a 57 year old desk jockey.

Today's line-up at @leestock.bsky.social was really good. Loved it 👍

New track from @sensesforever.bsky.social out today. It's another class track. Can't wait to hear the new album. It's going to be amazing. open.spotify.com/track/5ggXos...

Last weekend 30 miles/80k steps walked in Yorkshire hills, this weekend (Sun/Mon) 106 miles cycled in sunny Suffolk. Not bad for someone knocking on 60's door...

I do love a nice relaxing Easter...🙄

“Already Part of the Problem casts a harsh eye over avoidance and apathy, and joins preceding single Accelerate Our Love in not being afraid to confront such harsh truths.” Louder than War. lnk.to/APOTP Pre-save now so that you hear it first!

Oh my goodness. Banging new tune from @sensesforever.bsky.social out today. If the first 2 tracks are anything to go by, the album is going to be immense 💥💥 open.spotify.com/track/4nXXBp...

Well I didn't get the job (as expected) but reached the required standard for the role and placed on a reserve list in case a similar role comes up in the next 6 months. Positive result 👍

Job interview tomorrow. Absolutely shitting bricks about it. I'm so going to fuck it up, I just know it. 4 candidates, 1 job.

Lud's Church and The Roaches yesterday. Stunning and beautiful. #peakdistrict #happyplace

Another lush day in the Peak District at the gorgeous Goyt Valley. 11 miles, 25000+ steps. Knackered but happy.

Loving the Peak District

Cracking night seeing the Airborne Toxic Event at the O2 Islington. Awesome set and a great crowd. Loved it

It's been a while but @sensesforever.bsky.social have a fantastic new song out today. Straight on the best of 25 playlist and well worth a listen 👍 open.spotify.com/track/1P0wHS...

Ahhh, insomnia. There you are. It's been a while...🙄

When you wake up thinking it's a new music Friday and you're working at home...only to realise it's Thursday and you've got to go to the office...😭😭😭

Not allowed to share these on FB or IG (Mrs B says no 🙄) but sharing here because no-one knows me 😁 Late May 24 v Early March 25. 17st down to 14st 11lbs. Sensible eating, no beer, joined a gym in Oct. Not yet where I want to be but happy with progress 👍

Any lingering doubts about which league Ipswich will be playing in next season well and truly answered today. Back to the Championship we go.

@circawaves.bsky.social were mega. Great night 👍
