Not sure this little chap can read. Certainly hasn't stopped him digging for bulbs.

So excited. After six months of barely being able to walk, I've just picked up my orthotics. Still got a very long road, but at least now I'm on it, rather than sat on the sofa.

The sky is looking so good tonight.

Lovely evening for the first Ami's Kitchen Supper Club at Sheffield General Cemetery.

Don't want to speak too soon, but spring is definitely thinking about it...

I've just reviewed my 51st Sticky Toffee Pudding. But what did it get out of 10?

It just keeps raining...

Lisbon in the rain. Beautiful.

#FridayFive is poorly. 1. Almost Cut My Hair. Crosby, Stills and Nash. 2. Wires. Athlete. 3. The Drugs Don't Work. The Verve. 4. Comfortably Numb. Pink Floyd. 5. Keep Yourself Warm. Frightened Rabbit.

Threat of snow outside means the candles are lit. It's cosy and warm inside.

Always struck by the beauty of the lights

Far to early to think about it's spring yet, but a few signs of life already.

This was a bit of a shock.

Last trace of Christmas. These were so good. Would you try them?

Ready to leap.

Doesn't look like much, but Nutella Tiramisu (after great pizza and on your daughter's expenses) was really good.

Anyone fancy a cinnamon bun cup, filled with a ginger cake, vanilla cheesecake, ginger caramel and a mini gingerbread person. Feeling very fortunate after my daughter's baking gang yesterday.

Just the best sign to have across the road from the hospital.

Great to be out in the sunshine, but it's so cold.

Enjoying the low winter sun.

buttondown.com/Risu/archive... Finally finished this after I saw a blog on substack about leaving twitter- educators need to make better tech choices in 2026 No excuses. You can’t give lessons on online harm and then publish on substack or post the football team on Facebook. Or use WhatsApp.

Proper low sunshine #GlimmerOfHope today.

Happy New Year's Eve everyone. If you are a teacher (or indeed anyone) still posting on X, I have a suggested New Year's Resolution for you. Stop! If you agree, please REPOST here and on X if you maintain an account there. open.substack.com/pub/markgood...

The start of something good for my #GlimmerOfHope today. Just what's needed on a cold afternoon.

Belgian Blue as today's #GlimmerOfHope. Beer that colour always looks a bit odd, but it's still good.

Walk, with cake to share. What better #GlimmerOfHope for a Saturday.

Best Christmas dinner ever turns into best pie ever. #GlimmerOfHope

All lit up in Sheffield. #GlimmerOfHope

Peaceful and powerful on a foggy morning in Endcliffe Park, Sheffield. #GlimmerOfHope

Sun's out, market's busy and the Big Wheel's turning. #GlimmerOfHope

Tree lights and present wrapping as my #GlimmerOfHope today. Loving this particular paper.

Fluffy Santa down a back alley. Made me smile. #GlimmerOfHope

Dark so early, but just a #GlimmerOfHope.

Epic Too Good To Go bag as my #GlimmerOfHope. Almost dark super early today, but plenty of goodies.

Fading light on Brincliffe Edge for today's #GlimmerOfHope

Not sure what the collective noun for crumpets is? Maybe @gaiinz.bsky.social knows? One of the joys of a daughter in the food industry as today's #GlimmerOfHope

Sticking with an Italian theme for another #GlimmerOfHope. Meeting up with people from the Champions Cauda Equina charity. It was so good to meet people with similar experiences. Any Christmas meal rounded off with Tiramisu has got to be good too.

After a frazzling day, something tasty was needed. #GlimmerOfHope

Narnia lamps on Frog Walk. Today's #GlimmerOfHope

All that rain gives a perfect #GlimmerOfHope.

Today's #GlimmerOfHope. Enjoying the candles before lighting the tree.

Sunshine, clear skies and a new friend. #GlimmerOfHope

Getting my ducks in a row for a very wet park walk. #GlimmerOfHope

A late #GlimmerOfHope. Beautiful moon and skies tonight.

Today's #GlimmerOfHope with the dying light of the sun.

Daily glimmer from a day with Champions Charity, finding out about all things Cauda Equina.

Glimmer of the day. Can't beat a Christmas Market.

Not sure if a wet hillside quite counts a glimmer of the day, but it was good to get up there.

Glimmer of the day. They're here!

Glimmer of the day. Fairy lights are up.
