Somewhere inside me the 16 year old lad who was excited to get 512k broadband in 2001 just had a heart attack 😂

This old guy came to visit. 12 years old and almost totally blind, but still as friendly as ever.

This is literally the "This is fine" meme in real life. This world hurts!

What a gorgeous evening for a pedal. Yes that's a massive spoon.

Becoming a tradition to go ride round Kielder in May. Lessons learnt: 1 the 4 months off riding due to illness made a HUGE difference to my fitness and 2 it doesn't look sunny but I'm spectacularly sunburnt 😬 oops!

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

This is the one just next to my house in NE England. Works very well once all the idiots stopped moaning about it. The only issue is several of the bike lanes just kinda stop further along the road.

Noisy and slightly overconfident little buggers sometimes, but I can't help liking them. This is one of the gang that prowls about outside my office. God help any food that gets dropped!

Sunny and windy in the UK today. Means were doing pretty damn well on the clean energy front. Only 6.7% generation from fossil fuels at the minute! Over 77% by wind and solar 👌

This reference will make sense only to people in the UK who are over 40, but it's worth it for the small minority 😂

There's a direct correlation between my mental health declining and the number of steps I do! Walking seems to be the best way to occupy my mind. Not feeling good today!

Cold, dry, and sunny 👍

There's even more horrible things in the world than yesterday, but through all of it, the snow is very pretty.

Hadn't realised these had got as far north as North Tyneside. First time I've got a close enough view to see what they are. Crappy phone pic of a Rose-ringed Parakeet. Apparently they've been slowly spreading north in the UK.

Tynemouth longsands. A favourite place to let my brain empty a bit!

The only pic I took during the change. You can see how much had leaked and it was still drivable at this point (before I'd taken the box out.... Obviously 😂)
