He is 13 today. A teenager in cat terms, but in human years, he's retired and aged 68. share.google/H0ZOsAYHvZpT... Happy New Year, and happy birthday! Every day is #Caturday 🐈🐾🐾
Day 65/273 of puritanical living 😉 Just over 200 days to go until the Gower Peninsula Ultra Challenge! Now focussing on the training for the half-marathon I'm doing beforehand in April - a great test & part of my training plan for the ultra in July.
Owain Huw Wright "Oz" was killed by a drunk driver exactly 20 years ago today. Rest in Peace. share.google/l6pQAzZO7dBC...
Yeah, the gods seem to be against us. I'm sure it will all clear up in the next 3 hours though... (Image/stream source: telescope.org/v4webcams.php)
Not your average PIRATE map... the OU PIRATE telescope on the Izaña ridge by Mount Teide in Las Cañadas del Teide on the Canarian island of Tenerife.
Day 15/273 alcohol free! Now at 138% (£1,380) of the original £1000 target. Keep that money rolling in...
I've been back in Anglesey - Newborough, Menai Bridge, & Sandy Bay mostly.
"It's not the journey, it's the destination." I'm sure it's still #Caturday somewhere on Earth.
I've been there! The whole Las Cañadas del Teide is a very special place of natural beauty. I prefer it to the Grand Canyon in the US for impact.
