Rust

Riven with disease, doubt and disaster. Typical bloke in his fifties really.

It's a great idea to build a park and ride on a flood plain, said no one ever...

There's a scene in the #brutalist that reminds me of The Brickhouse in #ManchesterUK in the glorious 90s

For years I've been going to the pool and always head for the same numbered locker, 64, humming the Beatles tune as I go.

Which is ironic 🧐

Bit of a long shot, but does anyone here know anything about the female British typists who went to Germany in 1945 to type up the peace treaty? My grandmother was one of them!

@BecLFC yeah. Why bring it back? City didn't care, no one did.

@BecLFC I hate to say but I agree with Gary Neville. Just let it be.

Walk needed.
Walk taken.

The Epstein scandal is taking down Europe’s political class. In the US, they’re getting a pass.

As Europe moves to address its shame, it’s highlighting the comparative lack of accountability in the U.S.

Hats off to G11 Barbers in Glasgow who got annoyed at Farage's racist dogwhistling about Turkish barbers, so teamed up with the local artist "rebel bear" (instagram.com/the.rebel.bear/)

Volunteering at parkrun this morning. (Relieved to find that the new app is much better than the old barcode scanners!)

Me in a high vis top, with three hundred runners queued up and ready to start their run in the background.

A trip down memory lane to Grangemoor #Parkrun by Fisherman’s Quay on the river Ely. It’s not that scenic - even in the sunshine - but back in the day, before the Llanishen event opened, this was our ‘home’ parkrun. Turns out it was my 70th run there.
Good to do the familiar things whilst the rest of our lives are so disrupted.

View from underneath a concrete flyover looking towards a river with small boats moored up. There is Welsh flag bunting cordoning off a section of the path to keep the park runners and fishermen apart. It’s a fairly gloomy scene.

Done Vicar Water Country Park at Clipstone, Mansfield. Blimey, that was a hard slog.

Due day over looking a patch of dark water with ducks on it

Soaked this morning, almost as wet as the kite surfers !
Thanks to all the volunteers for standing out in the rain.
Now for an afternoon of rugby....

Magical misty morning at Volksgarten! As the fog lifted, 95 runners/walkers/joggers took on the under the rising sun. A huge thank you to 18 volunteers—you made it all possible! Perfect way to kick off the weekend!

@TheBreadmonkey Covered in mud. Glory be damned 😎

#ParkRun 112 done and doooooooone. It's like the apocalypse out there. If the apocalypse was just a bit rainy and whatnot. LOTS of runners and because it was waterlogged and muddy it was a walking start then a few areas where it funnelled to a walk. However! Pacers this morning. And despite starting far back, and walking quite a bit, we still managed to get in front of the 30 pacer. Which is amazing if true. I would be genuinely thrilled to bits if our time was sub-30. Anyway I am taking my lovely wife for a coffee in the busiest trackside café in the woooorld! Power to you absolute legends. May you be covered in glory. X

Utterly ridonculous conditions at Reigate Priory this morning. Just couldn't get any grip whatsoever in my Hoka Torrent 2's.

I thought they had reasonable lugs (4mm or so?) but clearly I need to start looking for something a bit more aggressive. Spent most of the run moving sideways.
