I guess I'm one of those "I can't handle Twitter anymore" people that are trying to make this a new home. Interested in technology, EVs and clean home energy. Other than that, just a pretty normal English guy, other than I know too much about P11Ds…

Probably not that impressive, but I’m pleased with myself for completing Dry January. 👌

Beautiful out on Macclesfield canal this morning…

‘Share size’ is just a lie…

@octopus.energy - Hi, I always used to make requests about a change to my tariff via that ‘other’ social media company. I no longer use that, so can I make requests via BlueSky now?

I’m just wandering aimlessly through what seems like never ending Sundays

Reminder to self: Defrost the freezer more often, not just when you can’t close the door!

I agree with the can… life is better with a beer

Time for the Aldi Christmas socks I think… 🌲🤶

Nipped up for quick drink at 20 Stories - excellent views over the city…

John Rylands library in Manchester. Beautifully calm place in the centre of a bustling city.

The National Trust Castlefield Viaduct project is still a favourite when visiting Manchester.

In May this year, Peter Hendy pressured my now-former employer Systra to sack me by threatening them. Why did he do this? Because I'd highlighted safety and accessibility issues at Euston station. He is unfit for office and should resign. www.politico.eu/article/uk-r...

Little Moreton Hall (National Trust) is pretty damn cool.

Only seemed right on a Bank Holiday to get some of my old toys out for the kids 😊

Saw this ‘weed’ growing at the side of a busy road, and thought ‘take a picture’. So I thought I’d share!

The sun is out, so took advantage of an afternoon off and went for a run. Hard work, but I need some exercise badly. Work is just pushing a mouse about 🙁

Is there an equivalent of ‘Bookmarks’ on @bsky.app? I like to save things to read later (or again)…

So, my #cat seems to think climbing on the roof and shouting at everyone is great summer entertainment... Sorry for the 'double post' - still getting the hang of this :-)

Why do people think it is funny to come up to you when peacefully cleaning your car and say” If I bring mine over you can clean mine too!”. Not funny the first time, not funny anytime…

Great to see the emergency services out chatting with the families in Buxton today…

So, like many others, I have finally given up on Twitter/X - things have become too toxic now. I’m still finding my way on here, but hopefully it will have more of a ‘community’ feel. Now I need to work out how to start getting the news and information I want…

I'm still not 100% sure that this is the way...

Ok, so I got on here at last and it feels like I missed out - really not much happening and hard to find people I want to follow. Maybe I'm missing something?
