Will there be an episode of Selling Sunset where Emma doesn’t say “empanada”

Please admire my dedication for still coming to the gym during a named storm

Apparently I just did my second fastest 5K (ft. @yeshomo.co hat)

I knew our roof wasn’t in great shape but with all this rain recently the repairs needed might be more extensive than I previously thought :/

Yesterday too bad to describe.

People suggesting that AI can help the loneliness epidemic aren't realized how dangerous becoming accustomed to a constant affirmation machine can be. Real human interactions aren't universally positive and no one responds to everything with "what a brilliant suggestion you well hung genius"

I’m trying loose Yorkshire Tea which has to be the proper-est of proper brews.

Reading some book reviews in last week’s New Statesman. I wasn’t going to read the review of “Middeland” by Rory Stewart, but when it described his father as an “extreme Scottish extrovert… serving haggis aggressively to all his English guests” I was hooked. Imagine!

I’m heading out this evening but part of me wishes I was stopping in with Liza Tarbuck

Ed Gamble being all “I was the druid” was very Alan Partridge vibes

Yes, how *did* that happen!

Lunch time run done (ft. fully charged headphones)

A nice autumn/winter shirt joins the Topman XS graveyard accumulating in the charity shop bag

After owning my headphones for the past 5+ years I’ve just realised a red light comes on when the battery is low. The battery going dead was always a total surprise before today

Best rowing machine performance in a while. Maybe democratic socialists should win elections every day

Please I am not ready for Christmas adverts

The National Trust’s oldest nature reserve, Wicken Fen, is said to be haunted by the Lantern Men, evil spirits whose lights flicker across the marshes and lure people to a watery grave.

The Chutney Murders!

Just checking the Marmite feed I made a few months ago

They’ve just had dinner they had lasagne

Seeing what’s on TV tonight and settled on Location Location Location for… reasons

Well there’s a very pretty man with a moustache at the gym today

I thought I'd take the opportunity to put together a website representation of these new Rail Clocks which launched yesterday. railclock.davwheat.dev Source code (MIT): github.com/davwheat/rai... And, don't worry, it does have the special flourish every 12 hours!

Strava AI said it was good so it must be true

Up for helping with #SlowWays this weekend? This map shows 900 routes across Britain that need just one more good review to be verified🐌✅⭐️❤️ Could you check one... or even a trail of routes? And inspire others to follow in your footsteps? Take look: beta.slowways.org/user/waylist...

Quite a lot of excitement in Warwick today as they are filming Shakespeare and Hathaway in the square. I have seen Mark Benton (aka Mam aka Mrs Plumcock in Smoggie Queens)!

The sun spent all afternoon trying to break through the clouds until it finally gave up

Well the bin men have been and one of our recycling boxes has gone missing. This is not a good day

Picture from my after work run this evening. The sky didn’t really look like a nuclear bomb had gone off somewhere west of Warwick, it’s just my shit phone camera.

It’s happened again

We think road numbers are beautiful. Not everyone agrees, but we defy you not to be amazed by this incredbile visualisation of all Great Britain's classified roads. #roadnumbers www.roads.org.uk/blog/colouri...

solidarity to all the other gays out there with a Taylor Swift loving group chat

Well I suppose I’m turning this computer back on after a week off, then

Week off at the gym is really showing in my inability to achieve my previous rep counts on basically every exercise 🫠

This has been my morning view for the past few days.

La France.

Check out this gourd-geous display. These knitted, crocheted and felted pumpkins at Charlecote Park sustainably celebrate the autumn season and were handmade by local community groups, staff and volunteers. 📸 Camille Francois

The tap water in the Lake District is insanely nice. I should have brought some empty bottles

My socks arrived but I am 110 miles away (and counting)

They should upgrade the ventilation system at the gym more often. The emails must have put people off and there’s hardly anyone here — perfect.

So pleased that @zackpolanski.bsky.social is now leader of the Green Party. Maybe I have a political home again

How did I become one of those ‘always at work’ homosexuals instead of the ‘always on holiday’ homosexuals?

Spent most of the afternoon telling myself it would be ok if I didn’t go on a run after work. But here we are. Kudos to me.

Last few weeks of my 30s feels a bit real today

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

Part of a filling has come off and obviously that’s all my tongue can think about until it’s sorted

Long walk yesterday from Charing to Canterbury along the Pilgrims Way and North Downs Way. 31km!

At M&S Birmingham New Street station someone just somewhat aggressively asked the man on the checkouts “where’s your nuts”

Warwick better get really into single use plastic otherwise we might not get any Christmas decorations
