Me and “the wee lad”. Just for once had a plan and stuck to it. Not too gruesome and perfect weather with the sun now just starting to warm things up in London

What a day…. Super visit to Chatham Historic Dockyard climbing in and out of submarines and the like with grandkids then off to see Jaws at the cinema with my son. Neither of us have seen it on the big screen and still totally epic in every way.

Hopefully not for a long time, but this is where I want to eventually be scattered. Mid-way between Wadebridge and Padstow. If for any reason I kick the bucket sooner I want a parkrun guard of honour and very loud rock music at my funeral. No words, just as many kickass songs as time allows 🎸🤘

I’d normally be at Eden Project #parkrun when in Cornwall. Today I ventured into Devon, then briefly into Cornwall then back into Devon and finally back to Cornwall.

So a “peace deal” with no need for a ceasefire? Skeptical, very skeptical…

Hello everyone out there in #parkrun land. Can you help? I’m trying to sign up a current or former athlete to speak at an event I’m organising for all the EDs in the Kent region this October. The theme is inclusivity and overcoming adversity 🙏

Really enjoyed the book of #ProjectHailMary and can’t wait for the film. A very sciency sci-fi story where the exposition is cleverly part of the plot. Must check out Andy Weir’s over books

It was sad but not surprising to see #parkrun in the news this week. As more and more people discover the fun and friendship on offer in their local park it’s inevitable there will be complaints, some genuine. As parkrunners it’s OUR responsibility to police ourselves and be good neighbours.

Dead chuffed. According to Tanita my metabolic age is at least 15 years less than my actual age. That’s a win in my book 😎

#superman movie is so awful that I would have walked out had I not nodded off. Boring beyond belief with a pointless “swiss cheese” plot and 1 dimensional characters I couldn’t care less about. Minor characters there to provide exposition and not much else. Apart from all that….
It’s still awful.

Enjoying the early morning cycle to Padstow followed by coffee on the harbour side. Occurs to me I know literally nothing about sailing which is a great shame. Seems to me the knowledge and experience needed to not kill yourself might be quite high.
