Well done. It looks freezing!

Oh. Goodness. Wishing all the team there the very most relaxed acceptance of things that cannot be changed.

Congratulations! I can't wait to see what you will do with this.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

Image is of a leg and foot kicking up autumn leaves.

First time for this year!

A middle aged white woman in a swimming costume is shoulder deep in water. She is holding a blackberry and smiling into camera. There are bushes and greenery behind her.

Today, it was swim-up blackberry picking at the river. A whole new experience for me. :D

A middle aged couple smile into camera. Both have bike helmets on and look warm and sweaty. The woman has oil on the tip of her nose.

A left hand in a fingerless cycling glove. The fingers and glove are covered in oil.

Went fast. Chain fell off. Oil -everywhere-. Still fun in the sun, though. :D

A middle aged woman and man, both with glasses and cycling helmets, smile into camera. Behind them is a street scene and blue sky with fluffy white clouds.

Happy (sweaty but fulfilled) Solstice!

My first ever smore! Didn't really live up to my hopes for it; unlike the perfect evening in the garden with family, BBQ, fire and fairy lights. I am so very lucky.

Thanks to Grace Petrie for the words & image.

I don't feel this is attracting the attention that it should, so: www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is so like my approach to my exercise! I need the rules to make it happen, but then the rules become so fixed it's hard to accommodate real life...

A middle aged woman lies on the floor on her back. She is wearing a climbing harness, and a climbing wall can be seen behind her.

Possibly taking it too easy at the home wall tonight!

It's not disproportionate at all - especially given it wasn't your fault!

What a brilliant stat! I had no idea such league tables existed.

HNY 2025. Holding out for hope over fear this year, please...

Surrounded by 'New Year, New You' ideas, I just want to say that I still think waiting until 1st Feb makes much more sense!
Jan is cold & dark, there's still Christmas food to be eaten, no-one has any money, & spring is miles off! Hunker down this month, & if you want a new start, do it in a month.

Awesome! That's something that nothing and no one can ever take from you.

A view over farmland, with a line of bare trees on the horizon. There is low sun and pale skies. A wooden fence in the foreground.

A middle aged white woman in a bike helmet & round dark glasses turns towards the camera, grinning. Open farmland and bare trees are behind her. The handlebars of her bike can be seen in the corner of the image.

It's a rule that I never park my bike to take photos but I broke it today, because _look_! It's beautiful out here, & it's warm & dry. I had a brilliant hour of calm.

It's officially Christmas-time! The cake is in the oven, and I am delighted that the family all showed up to keep the tradition going for another year (it's at least 26 years now!).

Merry Christmas from our home to yours. I wish you peace and love, always. x

Roadworks with with the surrounding fencing all blown over & lying in the road.

Breezy in town, and we're very much not in the storm proper...

A man and woman, swimming in the sea, close to the pebbley shore. The sky is bright blue behind them.

A long shot of a pebble beach and the calm sea beyond. The sky is blue with white clouds, and the full arch of a rainbow can be seen over the sea.

A middle aged white woman smiles at the camera from under the hood of her green towel robe. Pebble beach and blue sky can be seen over her shoulder.

December sea swim done! Felt like we were cheating to count this one, it was so sunny. :)

Selfie of a man & woman in their 50s, both under the hoods of towel robes. It's very dark, evidently night time.

Teeny tiny dip in the sea tonight!

"With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is _still_ a beautiful world."

A man and woman face the camera, smiling. Behind them can be seen bicycle helmets and handlebars.

Managed a bike ride together after a gap of a couple of years. Proper holiday enjoyment!

A photo taken from the top of a climbing wall, looking vertically down between the climber's knees to a belayer far below who is looking up at the climber and holding the rope for them.

A good belay-tionship day :)

Image shows a pair of feet in purple trousers and clearly brand new climbing shoes.

New shoe gamble, new shoe joy!

A woman on a bike at the side of the road. She is wearing a helmet and yellow coat, both soaking wet, and her glasses are steamed up.

January, I hate you and I'm glad that you are done.

Learning how to manage (& keep track of!) projects solo. Last week vs this week. :)

A woman stands in front of some climbing holds with a sleeping grandchild in a sling. The woman smiles & looks contented.

A bit distracted at the wall tonight!
