An occasional series of what my Garmin watch is saying after my #HeartBypass.

Started wearing it again about 2 weeks after the op. The watch is basically going “Dude! WTF?”

I need more rest and seem permanently stressed? Ya think? My resting heart rate is higher. Really?

INCREDIBLE clip.

<Richard Holden MP shouts like an angry man in a pub>

Lisa Nandy: "Can you calm down a bit, mate? You're shouting like an angry man in a pub."

Richard Holden: "That's not fair."

Please do not harass this creator, as while this may be an objectively offensively bad take, he is still a human being and deserves basic respect

I’m seeing pieces and posts today about how useful digital ID could be in navigating bureaucracy etc. Yes. It would. That, however, is *not* how the government tried to sell it to us. Instead, they portrayed it as a tool to stop illegal working and curb illegal immigration. 1/4

There are people in my village who lug their strimmer a quarter of a mile in a little trolley to cut the grass by the war memorial.

There are people who meet once a month to litter-pick.

And there are people who let their dogs shit everywhere.

Yep. I only really look at my „following“ feed and I am liberal with the block button and muting words.

But please stay in Wülferhampton! It’s more colourful with you!
