Nothing says you’ve hit 50 like receiving your bowel cancer screening kit from the NHS through post. (And nothing says neat modern service like getting a kit like this days after your birthday because some groovy automated service chugs away in the background to make this happen.) #LiftFlapToOpen

Last day being 49. Still in this world, just maybe not anywhere near as much on the socials. Spread ideas, eh, not an image.

Yet another Grimsby game, yet another away Grimsby game, yet another underwhelming away Grimsby performance and — most bizarrely of all — I think after Bradford, Crewe might be the Grimsby away fixture I’ve done the most over the years.
It wasn’t anywhere near as bad as Barnet a few weeks ago tho.

This morning my phone told me:
> Excellent Sleep Score
> You scored a 93 last night! Getting to bed on time definitely helped.
I feel it was a bad night of sleep. I woke 8, 9, maybe 10 times. Today is one of those _just keep going_ days.
How I feel versus how some algo interprets data, hey.

Lunchtime. Made myself go out and see that new clock at London Bridge station, walked along the south bank past Tate Modern. Decent midday midweek freshener.

The sell of Apple’s Siri and AI versus…
Recording my run using the Apple watch’s activity tracker, asking Siri how long I’ve been running for or asking how far I’ve traveled so far on this current run: “Sorry, I can’t help with that. You can learn more about logging your health data with Siri…” 🙄

This week I had a chat with my asthma nurse. My asthma management plan is a simple doc that details my routine, what to do if the asthma gets worse. It’s usually a Word doc you and/or an asthma professional fill in.

An asthma action plan helps you manage your asthma well and lowers your risk of symptoms and asthma attacks.

Getting into London NFL game at Tottenham’s stadium an experience. Website and signs round ground: “small clutch bag with or without a strap” allowed in. Just about every woman we saw told “that looks like a bumbag”, needed to check bag in. Contradictory, maybe sexist. www.nfl.com/news/nfl-uk-...

On my way to do the Royal Parks half marathon. Not doing a fundraiser myself. Just asking you do an act of kindness today you wouldn’t normally do. ✊🏼

I’ve watched Tron Ares so you don’t have to.
(And at the same cinema the new PTA film is showing in VistaV, the only one in the country, and well time for noodles I guess.)

Random bits of art springing up around your neighbourhood — in this case because of Bradford City of Culture — is GREAT. Better than flags too.

Saturday aft trip from Saltaire to Salford via Manchester and back on trains for the Grimsby game. First away win I’ve seen since Crewe away in something like April 2023. And I have seen *a lot* of away games since then. The Tap at Manchester Victoria is a splendid boozer too. Thanks weather gods

Heading onto the train with the spectre of postponement hanging above the football game you’re heading to. That’s living alright.

I’m endlessly torn between trying to stay online and active in my industry, and hiding, disconnected from the world in the wilderness. On that note, I’ve spent the past week in rural Spain taking pictures of wildlife. Here’s my favourite, of a Golden Eagle in Adamuz. ❤️

Said at the start of June let’s kick on harder at everything, including running, yup. Lovely morning for an end of September 10km, nudged me over 1200km ran this year. Now 2025 has the third highest annual amount of running since I started back running in 2017. 2020’s record 1462km is passable. 🙏🏼

Running* 7km along Regent’s Canal from the top end of Shoreditch down to end of the canal at Limehouse Basin, done. ✅ (Just a couple more chunks of the canal and I’ll have done it all, when I’ve had chances.)
