A family friend died recently and the momento from the funeral was bottles of his favourite hot sauce. Legend.

Looks like George and Mildred did some decorating in our kitchen... 😳 DO NOT ADJUST YOUR SET

A rant. If you are late to drop your kids off at school or public transport, that does not make you exempt from rules of the road nor to put others lives at risk. A bunch of kids and parents were almost taken out this morning by a driver (rule H2!) turning into a road.

Maybe I should have done this earlier in my life but basic brick laying is harder than it looks.

Reminder esp for drivers on the Highway Code with new school year in UK 👇 "Rule H2 - Rule for drivers, motorcyclists, horse drawn vehicles, horse riders and cyclists. At a junction you should GIVE WAY to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross a road into which or from which you are turning"

Visualizing post work laps and an espresso to blow the cobwebs away at a restored Tynemouth outdoor pool...

Lad #2: Dad, how long do we have to spend at the beach for our eyes to turn blue like Paul Atreides ? (Me, wiping a tear away with pride)

To the lovely souls who stole my wife's bike, you left the Brompton. No class.

Ctrl + PrtScn then Ctrl + V into paint, still my favourite shortcut.

While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

Just me or is the tannoy voice on the Metro, similar to the voice on the solido projector from Dune?

Either a new vegetable for the table this week or something is going to spawn from this Juggernaut shape Alien style.

To anyone in the north east who is still trying to work out today's wordle, my apologies as my boy shouted out the answer down the street to the mother in law...

World #DrowningPrevention day is 25 July. My effort in raising awareness in the community (#5) to help red + yellow flags and their meaning at the beach. I almost drowned many years ago when I didn't swim between the flags 😔 Learn to swim + float to live... @who.int #RNLI #SLSGB #SLSA

Proud to be part of the #RNLI Tynemouth crew, I've made the team board and now on second stage with boat crew training. Amazing turnout at our lifeboat day today. Thank you if you came (apologies if I didn't see you).

Tomorrow, who's in?

Improv stand up desk using a Brompton. Could become a bookable option on train services?

NEW: 12 of England’s 13 regional mayors* have signed up to develop a “national active travel network”, based initially on safer routes to schools. This includes Labour mayors, and two Tories *and* Reform’s Luke Campbell. Are the transport culture wars over? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Here's how I roll on a Friday night. Catching up with the @nthtynecyclesoc.bsky.social crew

It’s nearly that time again. Tynemouth start, Friday 6:30pm. Meet at the clock tower.

Rightio, I've tried a number of times with 'The Inferno' wish me luck. Impulse buy with a strong coffee....

A sunrise gathering for a local legend, lovely person, cold water swimmer and a friend. Will miss ya Mallory 💔

Solve problems with a tools, WD40 and duct tape? Like fixing engines? A key role with #RNLI Tynemouth is for a station technician. jobs.rnli.org/vacancy/seni...

SESSION CANCELLED. Due to fog and low visibility.

A little sign that speaks volumes. (Originally from Reddit I understand)

Free surf safety lessons as part of #DrowningPreventionWeek this Saturday 14 June nsvl.org/surf-safety-...

Pro tip to new parents: there is absolutely no point in buying hooks for your kids items (coats, bags etc....) they will never be used, ever.

Could an emoji save a life? 🤔❤️🌊🏊 A way back I put the case for a #RedAndYellowFlagEmoji After 4 years wait, I've submitted again to Unicode, see if a combo of 🏳️🟥🟨 (+zwj) might work to help the beach safety message. Global + ISO mandated, why not an emoji? 🤞Stay tuned. x.com/davidmajaric...

I'm part of a great crew down the #RNLI Tynemouth station. We are looking for a volunteer to help a key role to help with launches 👇🛟🌊🚤🦺 volunteering.rnli.org/vacancy/laun...

Big fan of Bromptons (mine is a 20yr old 3 speed) and I always check them out. This is different, bar attached to allow a kid up front. Nice.

Community solar project on the newly listed Carbon and Nature Marketplace. They do a great pop up bake sale every 3rd Saturday but this will help get the solar panels they could do with to help their energy costs. #NorthShields marketplace.netzeronortheastengland.co.uk/hub/invest/148

Friday night pizza with VEGEMITE 🔥

Was issued this #RNLI pager today for Tynemouth lifeboat station. One alarm away from putting theory and training into action.

Friday night = pizza Dough preparation always reminds me of Tintin 'Lake of Sharks'

At Tynemouth metro station, an exhibition (bridge between the platforms) on overheard mobile phone conversations. Globe Gallery and Kate Sobbard.

Backyard battle of HORSE in the afternoon sun

Not sure I can think of another UK kids TV show with cargo bikes in it. But revisiting Portland Bill from the 1980's with my son, what do we have here.

Back on the beach for summer season of North Sea Volunteer Lifeguards NSVL.org Bit brisk to kick things off but the kids had fun. Note to Dad: try cap the other way round next time.

lol, in Australia, the party whose leader acted most like Trump not only lost the election, but their leader lost his seat I smell a trend 👀

Local election day, make your vote count. #DogsAtPollingStations

A belt bike lock is a good marker to maintain the fitness and a steady weight. Too snug, stop the pies. Too loose, might lose the bike. This one just right. Not the combination...

Cracking 1st half England v Scotland u19s at Percy Park Rugby Club. Some solid units on the field.

Encouraging visit to local cinema, before the movie had 2 x public transport ads versus 1 x car. If only with a local bike shop ad, that would be ideal.

🧵 1/. Ever wanted to create an emoji? Fan of a #cargobike? After a 4 year wait, 2nd submission to Unicode for #CargoBikeEmoji twitter.com/davidmajaric... I've got help on the document redraft, however throwing it out there for the emoji visual itself. Old design 👇 (my cool bro Pete)
