Bloody hell :(

This is despite wearing a mask for the entirety of my shifts and working principally in my own dedicated clinic room. Truly fed up of winter bugs now…

The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

Damian Hall came in off loop 3, but without collecting all his pages and is the last to face the bugler. Fog, cold, and the wet weather were factors. #BM100

for @drlygo.bsky.social and anyone else who is curious- #bm100 "royalty tree", as it were! This does NOT currently include the potential for finishers this year, but that also seems...unlikely, so far. If I am proven wrong, however, I'll add to this!

Brave move Jon! I fear I will be rubbish at tomorrow’s doctoring if I Barkley-browse overnight…

I’m going with the new yellow gate position as the reason for Damo being barefoot on setting off

On an afternoon walk and laughing at the tumble one of my friends took. I am taking a selfie in the foreground whilst in the background my friend is showing off her muddy bum with another friend pointing at it
