Can’t sleep. Still bouncing from lunchtime. Thank you Macclesfield FC for probably the best day of my life.

My in-depth analysis of this morning’s events:

I suspect the can of worms that Donald Trump has just opened will turn out to be much, much bigger than he thinks it is.

@serailway.bsky.social just got 1V46 from CHX to CFB, middle coach of back unit 707016 not riding smoothly, poss wheel flat?

I can heartily recommend The Cheese Board on Royal Hill in Greenwich. Fabulous place. They’ll be able to sort you out with something riotously tasty.

Took the opportunity whilst at @manchester.ac.uk for an undergrad open day to go back to cs.man.ac.uk for the first time in 25 years. Much nostalgia and reminiscing. Thanks to the folks there for being so welcoming and letting us have a wander around!

I think there is an enormous opportunity here for the UK government if they can move quickly and pounce. We are well placed here to benefit from Trump’s idiocy.

Aww! Congratulations!

Aldi fake Madri: better than Madri. And also actually brewed in Spain according to the label, rather than Yorkshire.

It’s not every day you get to lift a trophy alongside one of your very best friends. What a day! #macclesfieldfc

A lovely piece about a lovely place. We are very lucky to have the Green Goddess in our ‘hood.

@vincerai.bsky.social are you planning a follow up piece on July’s bus escapades? 😀

Gorgeous day for marshalling at @catfordparkrun.bsky.social, lovely to see so many people out enjoying the sunshine! #parkrun

Thank you, I think… I’ve got 99% of gargoyles look like Bob Todd stuck in a loop in my head now🤣🤣🤣

Ta! Good luck for this evening’s fixture, it’d be a good game to win - it would make the league table look rather healthy.

Sutcliffe #parkrun this morning with this fabulous bunch. Got off to a really good start for once which helped me on my way to a PB! Lovely (but chilly and knackering!) way to start the weekend 😀

With all the instability in the world that’s being caused by Trump’s madness, this is the last thing we all need right now.

Home!

Ministers consider ban on all UK public bodies making ransomware payments Prohibition would bring the NHS, schools and local councils into line with government departments

I read this with interest this morning. Instead of focussing on what happens after a hack, surely a better starting point would be to get public authorities to conform to Cyber Essentials Plus, and reduce the risk of ransomware in the first place? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Christmas Day Parkrun is always a special one and today’s at Catford was no exception. Loved the Santa (and other - especially the Turkey) hats! Thank you to the volunteers who made it all happen ❤️ #loveparkrun

Thank you for volunteering and making it happen!
