Filming again for @1-5mnewhomes.bsky.social - today we're in Camden. Where music was born, according to Dua Lipa.

They don't make 'em like this anymore. Lovely Spring day filming Lambeth Council's new homes development programme.

Enjoyed a ride around Brands Hatch race circuit as part of the gloriously sunny Kentish Killer ride on Sunday.

The only road in Kent without potholes?

Riding off-road this morning, came across these beauties and first daffodils of the season.

It's coming!

Whisky packaging has come on a bit! This from the Isle of Harris (#mustvisit) is genuinely exciting to open. Taste: young, sherry-sweet, fresh tangerines, butter, toffee. Yum.

Waiting at the start point for a typical bike ride in February England. It's not going to be warm!

Most moods are improved by seeing a swan on a river.

I agree Pete but I wouldn't want to do a complete 180! A world without single malts would be a terrible thing...

Cycle-track in central Copenhagen.

Cycle-track in central Copenhagen.

โ€œWhile Mayor, I was often asked โ€˜how have you been able to afford bike-lanes in #Copenhagen?โ€™ Iโ€™d reply, โ€˜how have you been able to NOT afford it? 25 years ago we were a few days away from going bankrupt. So the city invested in the cheapest infrastructureโ€ฆ bicycling.โ€™โ€ โ€” @mortenkabell.bsky.social

A word in praise of the humble blend. It's easy to be snobbish, and single malts are richer and more complex. But for ยฃ20 this has been an absolute joy to drink.

One Makers Mark, two Merlot, one Talisker, two Jack Daniels' plus chums plus Lloyd Cole = top evening

Super sunny on the lanes of Kent today, but so much muck! Slightly less enjoyable when you know you've got an hour of cleaning and lubing to do...

Anyone else switched indoor training apps from Zwift to Rouvy recently? I'm very much enjoying the realism, though the close passes by cars and trucks are perhaps unnecessarily realistic...? ๐Ÿ˜…

A horrific image of a someone who seems to have his hands tied behind his back. A big cat (the predator kind, not the overfed pet kind) has jumped up at him and is devouring his face. Blood splashes on the floor.

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard.

17-year-long Scottish study of 82,000+ adults finds commuting by bike reduces your risk of:
โ€ข early death
โ€ข hospitalisation for any reason
โ€ข cardiovascular disease
โ€ข cancer mortality
โ€ข treatment for mental health problems.

Yeah, but those LTNs and bike lanes are *really* annoying.

If you find one for a mum that doesn't feature gin or Prosecco, let me know...
