Quite tall. Social justice worrier.
Orwell’s book-within-a-book, ‘The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism’ by Emmanuel Goldstein, nicely sums up what happens next.
In London today for the first time in ages. Appreciating it as a tourist rather than being here every day makes me slow down and actually enjoy it.
Our dog won 1st place for the ‘most appealing eyes’ category in the dog show at our village fete today.
In no other industry would this be considered acceptable. An email, out of the blue, telling me to register a new account with a new service in order to even see the details of a mysterious appointment that’s been apparently set up for me at an unknown date with zero prior warning or information.
Back from a great 3 days in the Cairngorms with www.adaptivegrandslam.com - 2043m climbed over 46km
The view from the hostel in Aviemore. Looking forward to getting into the hills tomorrow.
Just started series 5 of Stranger Things. I think Hopper must have the same barber as me.
Kit prep is going well. I now have improved resistance to both rain and midges
A lovely 14km walk via the bakery in Brockenhurst this morning. I’m averaging 40km per week at the moment and training for some big mountain adventures. No real hills around here so have been supplementing walking the dog with some running, gym (stairmaster+weights+circuits) and weighted rucksack.
I remember how excited I was when I first discovered Google. The team that carefully put together the cleanest and fastest search engine in history would not, I can’t help thinking, be very excited about AI Mode being pushed to the top of the results
Baby foals all over the place at the moment. (These all a short walk from Burley / the White Buck Inn)

I wrote to the Tivoli theatre in Wimborne urging them to reconsider hosting a Katie Hopkins event. Their reply is polite and mostly strikes a fairly reasonable tone (though clearly I disagree with their decision). Their final paragraph slightly spoils it, and reads as somewhat churlish & patronising
There are a few things I’d like to get done this afternoon, but I think I’m going to sit here for a little while longer
Our kayaks arrived at the Keyhaven boatyard today, and we took a trip out around the harbour
