4 mile run at 9:38/mile today, same effort as yesterday, same route, 40 seconds per mile faster - what the actual eff is going on with this old body? #running #ukrunning

Five miles at 9:45 pace yesterday. I don't think running is going to be viable today or tomorrow with the 50mph winds. I could go out now but I'm still in bed. #running #ukrunning #weather

Stupidly I've had nickel pickup covers installed on my SG Special which has chrome bridge/tail stop and I can't unsee it. The luthier mentioned it twice when I gave them to him to install. I just said yes. Can't unsee it now. #guitar #gibson

10K done today at the racecourse - 1hr 0mins 40secs & that's a benchmark as I'll be a vet65 in 6 weeks. Bonus point for seeing Charles & Camilla heading to their helicopter just as we'd finished. Again. Still can't fathom how I could run 43 minutes dead 14 years ago. #running #runnersofbluesky

Some telecaster builds by the guys who do my guitar setups and repairs . Pickups are all their own 1. This has shotgun cartridges for controls. Among other bits #guitar #fender

I've been running around this place for 20 years. It's called the Brick pits and I've always assumed it's a deep clay excavation. Scary black water. It's now almost dry.. I've never even seen it shrink before #forest #photography #drought

A few pics from Wisley flower show on Thursday. Second attempt because we had to turn back on Tuesday because the M25 was closed and there was a two mile queue back to West Byfleet. #RHS #Wisley #flowers

Climbed Ben Nevis yesterday. Won't do that again! One of my big toenails will survive. That is one tough surface to walk on. Great views of course #scotland #Highlands #BenNevis

Lovely flat 4 mile run along the Great Glen Way just outside Fort William this afternoon. About 14 degrees cooler than yesterday at home and a lovely breeze along the loch. Still haven't worked out how to upload #garmin workouts! #ukrunning #running #scotland

The absolute state of my begonias. Against a south facing wall. And my bay tree has wilted for the 4th time in 3 days. Watered it at 6pm and it's already suffering at 10am #gardens #heatwave #climate

running week so far: Monday 4.5 miles - a "cool" 25ºc and a fresh evening breeze Tuesday 1.5 miles - 35ºc, no shade on the racecourse Wednesday 1.5 miles - 37ºc, felt quite dangerous today. Anyone else out and about in it? #running #ukrunning

Happy 10th anniversary to the stupidest day in modern British history. Won't happen, but Labour should think about calling an election on the promise of seeking to rejoin. If we still vote Reform in then we will deserve everything we get. #brexit #rejoin

I think I've seen @mickpuck.bsky.social playing one of these beauties

The mystery deepens. I found these scrunched up in the new compost. Did a fox really dig up a plant because it could smell some residue on a couple of old gold top milk bottle caps?or chocolate coin wrappers? #foxes #gardens

Well this is novel. There was clearly something tasty buried in with my newly potted thyme. I'd have to guess fox as we do get plenty of them in the garden. #foxes #gardens

This place gets bigger every year. It gets built in 6 weeks & dismantled in 10 days. Unfortunately after today we locals won't be able to run or walk round here for a fortnight. #ascot #royalascot #running

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!
