Oh M&S! What have you done! No husband chair outside the fitting rooms at Newport #isleofwight. What am I meant to do all morning while she tries on endless clothes?
#IsleOfWight
Another obscure meditation on the Garden of Eden.

A sweet little silly thing that came wandering by...

An old cynic's jealous rant, I'm afraid...

A poem of finality and survival. Another bit of gloom I'm afraid - maybe it's something in the global air...

No dramas, no PBs — just steady, sensible runs. But somewhere along the way, I quietly cruised past 1,000km (621 miles) for the year so far.
June looked like this:
Distance: 173 km (107.5 miles)
Longest run: 9.74 km (6.05 miles)
Average run: 7.57 km (4.71 miles)
Average pace: 5:30/km (8:51 per mile)
Fastest km: 4:32/km (7:18 per mile)
VO₂ max: 45.5 (and rising…)

I rode my bike to the beach so i could have an ice cream and paddle
A challenge was set in our poetry group to write a poem about 'Today' for our meeting this month. The inspiring example was 'Today' by the American poet Billy Collins.
In this response, not even an Old Testament prophet could be so gloomy!

Petition: Isle of Wight Ferries - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
#IsleOfWight #Ferries have reached this stage:
- Beyond a joke
- We as passengers are being used as Cash cows
- Business is affected
- Tourism is affected
To get on & off the Island is beyond expensive & cannot be afforded by many people
Reliability of ferries is abysmal. Seems every day there is a news report of ANOTHER reason why ferries are delayed or not running

I nearly saved this for #SilentSunday but I knew that I'd probably forget!

#IsleOfWight Tesco turn shoppers away due to jammed door
#Profit motived #IOW #ferries sub-standard services
“All I was told (by #Tesco) was that the doors were jammed, so they need an engineer from the mainland.”
“Ferries are an issue (always) obviously because of the Isle of Wight Festival.”
There’s barely a ‘normal’ day when IOW ferries don’t have failures causing cancellations or delays

'Guide of souls' to the afterlife, the 'other world' - could be Hermes/Mercury, Anubis, Hecate, a shaman, etc. As often with such things, there may be uncertainty or ambiguity; for example, Mercury is sometimes called 'the trickster'.
