After a near 15 year hiatus, I do @parkrun again most weeks now. But now that I can’t see, running has its challenges. I’ve made a clip to demonstrate how my amazing running guide, @NealJeffs, guides me through a run: instagram.com/reel/DO01JMWiB…

To everyone, please stop starting articles with "In our complex and interconnected world" and saying even the most marginal change is a "paradigm shift". I want user-generated content with soul, not AI-generated blandness!

The women’s Tour of Flanders was magnificent today; far more gripping than the men’s race where some bloke rides off the front and time trials to the finish 🫣 #TourDeFlandes

Oh hey - the thing that "isn't a thing" and that "never happens" has happened again. Male racer "Prim Rose" won the cat 3 (beginner) women's category at the Echo Red to Red xc mountain bike race in Oregon a couple of weekends ago. He looks so proud! What a champion.

What could be better than watching the sunset with my main man, Benji, during one of the Octopus 30 minute energy #SavingSessions

I’ve never seen the winner of a bike race have their cat join them for their post-race interview. Magical. @TamauPogi #StradeBianche

My mincemeat flapjack spontaneously combusted five minutes after being taken out of the oven. Fire put out but smell of smoke abysmal. Is this the first flapjack inferno ever?

My commentary has gone on the @eurosport app on my Samsung tv. Any tips on how to get it back? It’s every single sport. I can hear all the background noise.

Why so many emergency squawks from planes over Russian territory at the moment? #flightradar #7700 @flightradar24

It certainly will be VERY bright with the likelihood of wildfires in London increasing. You utter clot.

The Tropic of Cancer is moving north by 70 miles per 30yrs on average (source: Yale uni). We have the opportunity to lead development in this; our factories are still cool enough to work in. Politics over real long term gain for this country. Shameful.

“We need to look at this longer term, help families who are struggling.” Wouldn’t a great solution be to lead the charge in the EV industry and create thousands of jobs in industrial heartlands? Ashamed of the PM.

I’m a really savvy train user but had huge issues at St Pancras station this morning as a #blind person. I ended up getting locked in a stationary train at the station and missed my train as a result. Any other blind/VI people struggle at that station? @RNIB

“Vivat Regina Camilla” just sounds like a comedic cover after a lifetime of “vivat Regina Elizabetha!” Imagine if her name was Maureen #KingsCoronation
