Forgive this moan. Tomorrow it will be 14 weeks in hospital. 😵‍💫

Missed going to gigs, Olivers Mount for the Gold Cup and Motorcycle Live looking impossible at the moment.

Writing 2025 off as my shittest year in a long time.

And rightly so! Noraly's adventures are fantastic bikes, travel, geology and seeing the warmth and kindness of people around the world. It's soul food 😃

Morning @imlunahey.com did you ever get round to upgrading your ps5 storage? I've been in hospital a while so may have missed it.

Have a great weekend

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

That's no moon... no wait yes it is. Taken 3.50 this morning. Beats staring at the hospital ceiling.

Wheel me to the window so I may gaze upon the garden Wilkins

12th week in hospital, and I'm feeling like the sickly victorian child in a period drama.

Nice night for a blast over the Mourne Mountains to catch a beautiful sunset.

If you have a secret or hidden phone, the government's Emergency Alerts could reveal your device, even if it's on silent or do not disturb.

The government is testing emergency alerts on Sunday 7 September. If you're worried this could reveal a phone, you can follow this guide to turn off the alerts

How to keep your phone safe from Emergency Alerts.

Steps to secure your iPhone
1. Search your settings for 'emergency alerts'
2. Turn off 'Severe alerts' and 'Emergency alerts'
3. If this does not work, contact your device manufacturer.

Steps to secure your Android:
1. Search your settings 'emergency alerts'
2. Turn off 'Severe alerts' and 'Emergency alerts'
3. On Huawei devices running EMUI 11 or older, search your settings for ‘emergency alerts’ and turn off 'Extreme threats', 'Severe threats', and 'Show amber alerts'
4. If this does not work, contact your device manufacturer.

Other mobile phones and tablets:
Depending on your software version or phone manufacturer, emergency alert settings may be called different names. They could be called 'wireless emergency alerts' or 'emergency broadcasts'.

You can usually find these settings in one of the following ways.
- Go to 'message', then 'message settings', then 'wireless emergency alerts', then 'alert'
- Go to ‘settings’, then ‘sounds’, then ‘advanced’, then ‘emergency broadcasts’
- Go to ‘settings’, then ‘general settings’, then ‘emergency alerts’
Then turn off ‘severe alerts’, ‘extreme alerts’ and ‘test alerts’.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?"

Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head.

An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye.

An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

It’s 18 years ago today that the attack took place in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, that took Sophie’s life 13 days later. We send love to Sophie’s family and friends and all that love her. Sophie is not just a figurehead or a banner we march behind; she was a person who should be here with us today.

The nightlight in my room here makes me feel like I've woken from stasis early in a low budget sci-fi 😁

No more spectacular sunsets or helicopter spotting. Been moved to another hospital. Here's last night's sunset over south West #Birmingham

When I was working on the railway and the crazy start times I had no choice but to ride all weather including snow. Remember one year all the bikers got in but several car users couldn't. Supervisor laughed his arse off at that 😁
