There is no funnier train station sign than "Cambridge home of Anglia Ruskin University". Everytime I see it I'm impressed all over again at the level of trolling.

I’ve ordered 🙂
Once again I'll be pounding the streets of Cambridge this Sunday in the half marathon (for the 9th time!). As always, I'm keen to use the opportunity to raise some money for @romseymill.bsky.social - so I'd be delighted if you could donate via my JustGiving page... Thanks! 🏃🏻♂️

Oh. There it is.
You can just make out the painted-on cycle lane on the eastern section of Cherry Hinton Road in that cycling city of Cambridge. This is what happens when local councils are chronically underfunded and have no powers to tax excess wealth generated here. (ARM have their HQ half a mile down the road)
It was from the first chapter of Fellowship of the Ring.
More Geoff Crammond, me thinks… 😉
Curious as to why my local Tesco Express consider Tipp-Ex a good item to sell in a convenience store. I mean, does anyone still use it? And why would you need 3 bottles at once? 🤔 I have some which I bought last millennium…

Autopilot for unattended space station to space station travel?
Two ‘Helix’ sets of mathematical instruments, one branded ‘Oxford’ (dark blue tin, priced £4.50, reduced from £6.00) and the other branded ‘Cambridge’ (light blue tin, priced £3.00). Both have ‘complete & accurate’ on the packaging.
Seen in Cambridge Sainsbury’s. So many questions, not least if they are both ‘complete and accurate’, why the price difference? 🤷♂️

Tweet from @tomgara Randomly on this subject, my (Egyptian) wife had never heard of Stonehenge when I mentioned it recently, so I showed her photos of it, assuming she’d recognise the look but not the name etc, and she was just like, this is pathetic, your ancestors were small and weak
Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice
Acorn’s HQ was literally just down the road, so I’d keep it.
Yep, I was one of them 🏃

…which is not quite my slowest time but almost. Lots of people were suffering because of the heat.
Great weather for cycling. Rather too warm for the half marathon though 🥵
After the 2024 London Marathon, this year's challenge is a trilogy of half-marathons at fortnightly intervals...

🔥 AMAZING.
Today, the Baltic states disconnected their power grids from that of Russia.
It’s taken years of prep. What a moment.
NEW PLANNING APPLICATION for #Cambridge - another entrant for Vol 2 of Hideous Cambridge? Despite my face-to-face pleas with the architect and the developer for something not ugly and bland, this is what has landed. 😱😭 And they wonder why they get it in the neck from the public.
On a dull day with no watchers to help the way to spot #Cambridge King's Parade Peregrines has to be to check for symmetry of pinnacles! #UKWildlife

I don’t know about you, but I’m still listening to Christmas songs. 😁
The norm these days seems to be to abandon Christmas after Boxing Day. As a kid I always celebrated until the new year. Don’t let the world try and force you forwards if you’re still happy to celebrate. 🎄🎄
It looks like Father Christmas shares your concerns, to judge by the letter he left in our house:
Yep, same here
Not the most important issue ofc, but crazy how hard it is to pick up at Cambridge station. Hardly any pick up spaces, and those signed as 5 mins only (though website says 20) or fine; no give way marks between taxi & pick up lines, & terrible signage -> easy to get fine for entering guided bus zone
