Beginning a chronological odyssey thru the #Alien franchise (helpfully aided by below image), some I’ve seen, some I haven’t. Starting now: Prometheus. (New to me)

In many southern states, the incesterfield is a popular style. Of sofa, I mean.

Even hard-working Mordorites weren’t aspiring to an even more impoverished ethical existence.

Unimpressive ‘summer’ weather on today’s ride overlooked because I felt like a Tour pro- even managed a 6.7w/kg dig like them. Admittedly, mine was 20secs and theirs is 20min, minimum. In my defence, I am on platform pedals. Otherwise I’d be right there. *cough* 😂

I will be 35 in 3 weeks. This means I can now begin the customary pre-birthday period of ennui, soul-searching, and wasted potential mourning. Thank you for your support during this delicate time. #old

Went to Exeter Brick Festival. Impressed by my colossal restraint - no Star Wars or LotR #lego#ColdBlooded#AFOL

Lifted semi-heavy things. Wrote some words. Dunked several Welsh cakes. Pondered some of life’s great mysteries. Ate curry. A good day. #Progress

Wales is a tiny country yet has given us so many genuine treasures; Michael Sheen, Gareth Thomas, Ruth Jones, Dylan Thomas, Rob Brydon, Eve Myles, Penderyn whiskey - all of which are surpassed by the #WelshCakes#PiceArYMaen

I’ve mentioned the ‘fast bike’ a few times, but yet to provide recent evidence. So, here she is: @TrekBikes Emonda SL, @ShimanoROAD Ultegra, @srmtraining cranks, various @fizikofficial @Bontrager bits and an Argos Racing Cycles respray. (Alice’s hands not included)

Both my ride partners bailed, so off I went solo. A more controlled 2hrs - about 29 miles. Everything steadily improving, including the weather. #progress
