Good news about all the other lines though.

Interesting cycle ride up to Wickes in Edmonton. Looks like the Harbert road wasteland by the A406 (with the Lea running through it) is being landscaped as parkland. Previously was a dump/pallet yard/fenced off no man's land. It's beginning to look...nice!

🌲🚲👌

Apple wine 🍎👌💥🥂

All sensible advice apart from suggesting commuters remove mudguards in the summer. Insanity! It rains just as much in the summer. Oh, and I almost never wash my bike. www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20...

The Sicilian Vespers. Lovely bit of Verdi. Didn't like the ending.

Probably my lowest point

I'm just glad I kept the receipt

Merry September!

First ever classical concert at the former Granada cinema - now Soho theatre, and what a belter it was. Blurred pic of the conductor is a fair representation of her high energy. 💥🎻

Yep. That will definitely do it.

Bar tape renewed. Leather this time - not Brooks, too expensive. Struggled to do it AS USUAL - I've done it dozens of times now but just enough time passes between attempts for me to completely forget how to do it.

Takeaway ordering - "that'll be 30 minutes... 30 to 40 minutes to be precise".

Sad news. I thought my custom alone could keep the place afloat.

Nothing rams home the end of summer better than booking the Rose and Crown Christmas panto 🙃

Epic cloud

There's a phenomenal amount of broken glass on the roads in Walthamstow. Even my Marathon plus tyre has thrown in the towel.

Guessing it's Hoe Street, which became Walthamstow Central. That or Pimlicunt.

That's Beethoven's 7th then. 🎻🔥🎻

£5 spent in the charity shops today. Not sure about the Paul Weller but let's see. Also, Deerhoof! 💥 @deerhoof.bsky.social

Slap bang in the centre of London. What a transformation.

Oi! Vodafone! No! That's my favourite riverside pub.

Dragonfly and Swift spotted during the same upwards glance in the garden. Minor nature win.

Exciting moment as my first chocolate habanero peppers are ready. The internet tells me these are some of the spiciest peppers before you get into the crazy biohazard ones at the top of the scoville scale. They are absolutely excellent. Very good flavour and HOT.

Iron Maiden. Absolute giants. 75,000 attendance. 🤯🤘💥 Lovely ride home through the marshes on a hot evening.

Genuinely emotional from reading a list of books. But these books have provided some of the best moments between me and my children... moments that are fleeting, it turns out, as they grow up. 😢 www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

New Half Man Half Biscuit album, a joyous affair. There was something familiar (and hilarious) about the lyrics on trying to get a trestle table back off Beth Tweddle(!).. Then I remembered the 2023 Camden Gig where Nigel supposedly spotted Beth in the audience & asked for his step ladders back👌

I'm presuming Heineken won a lawsuit against Lidl??

This is a good one www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Looking forward to visiting the refurbished King William IV in Leyton, now run by local brewery Exale One of the all time great pubs around 2010 when Brodies were in there banging out a million beers a week What's with the pub sign though? There was an opportunity for a bit of tasteful restoration

They drive among us #cantparktheremate #wally

Thought it was the cleat disengaging...

This guy really has a bee in his bonnet about bikes

Blink and you'll miss it. That's gone across the cycle lane and pavement, through a metal fence and taken out a big tree. Lea bridge road. A 20 mph limit. #everydaycarnage

A London County Council Boundary marker at the edge of Hainault Forest.

The Smiths "Demos" picked up in Sue Ryder for £2. Clear vinyl. Some sort of recent bootleg. Terrible pressing. Hardy any info from a quick Google.

Total bastards. It was £25 a month in 2020.

Yes you can, part 9374. (Although it was quite heavy tbf). That's a 25 kg bag of lime mortar for some repairs at home. A 6 mile journey from the (massive) Builders Depot at New Southgate on the A406 (you'll know the junction).

Hadn't been to the Anchor & Hope on a warm evening for quite some time. An atmosphere unlike any other pub I've been to. What a place.

OMG #thingswithfaces

The Merlin Bird ID app (shazanimal if you will) is incredible. Out in the forest last night near the waterworks roundabout, it was such a treat to listen to the awesome evening chorus. We were even treated to the unmistakable sounds of a woodpecker and an owl.

Peak elderflower right now. Elderflower champagne is go.

I REALLY need to change the push notification settings on this app, FFS.

Martin Carthy has a new album AND is playing the EartH (Hackney) with a stellar line up. He's only 84. 👍👌
