This getting old stuff is really to starting to hit home. In the mirror I just noticed, I am getting wrinkles in my balding hairline. Two singular activities I once never even anticipated for myself. Let alone them both taking hold simultaneously.
Tag: missingtwitter
Since Twitter was bought and broken, I’ve stopped visiting and tweeting. I really miss the amazing quick-fire journal it was. I’ve established this blog tag, as the nearest place I felt comfortable continuing to publish my random observations or thoughts. Though it’ll never feel the same.
You said WHAT!?
My boss messaged me to say “Have a good weekend.” I really shouldn’t have rushed my reply, sending back “You tool!” instead of You too. Pretty clear indication it’s time to leave.
Some roads don’t lead to Mecca
I had a chance encounter with a former colleague. It turns out we work in the same building on different floors. It was quite a surprise, even more so that I remembered her name! We were briefly sharing our work history since we worked together and she mentioned after our org she went to Mecca. […]
Smells like pre-teen spirit
I saw that my local council added what looks like a painted edge over the encroaching grass that has begun growing onto the loose gravel footpaths.

No need, it’s booked […]
Parkrun fun
I ran another Parkrun this morning, my 40th. It’s not quite a notifiable milestone, but finally getting close. Being part of the local Parkrun community has been more fun than I imagined. I’ve quite enjoyed seeing the same faces, and experiencing the camaraderie and often some banter. There are always a couple of funny moments. […]
Bike Safety
I’ve been sitting in a local car park, which is opposite the police station. 95% of the kids riding bikes are not wearing helmets. Kind of interesting to be watching this, and then see a memory pop up from social media today on a similar theme, from COVID hangover times – 16 January 2022. I […]
