I took a picture of a caterpillar and used my phone to identify it. It got it bang on. It’s the caterpillar of a toadflax moth on a toadflax plant that it has stripped most of the leaves off. How satisfying. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calopha... #toadflax #moths #caterpillars #toadflaxMoth

@spinerace.bsky.social How can I get in touch with Spine HQ if I think a participant has gone off-course? I’m not taking part.

Does anybody actually store their ketchup in the fridge once they’ve opened it? Mine lives in the cupboard. #ketchup #storage

I did it! I got my parkrun PB and got sub-30! Silver target achieved; I’m chuffed to bits, especially given how hot it was. Official time 29:13. Many thanks to my pacer, my running buddy, Coach Greg and the fantastic people at my home parkrun. #running #PB #parkrun #GarminCoach #CoachGreg

Beautiful. Poetry in motion, and all that. I’ll be wearing my stripes while running this week to celebrate. They’re not aerodynamic, but success builds on success, right? #SAFC #running

Coach Greg has purple confidence in me again! I messed up a few weeks ago, and it dropped into the green. But I’ve worked hard, and it’s back up in the purple. All I have to do now is not mess up my last two training runs, then go for it at parkrun. #running #parkrun #parkrunPB #Garmin #CoachGreg

This is the teeniest tiniest chestnut mushroom I have ever seen. #mushrooms #fungus

For weeks, Garmin has told me I’m getting fitter. Recently, it’s started telling me I’ve plateaued, which displeased me. I’ve realised it might be because I’m putting in a similar level of effort, but I’m fitter now, so it’s as if it were less effort. I’m ok with that. #running #Garmin

I entered yesterday’s weight into Garmin Connect just now, and it says I’ve reached my target fitness age. I win! 🏆 😁 I daren’t weigh myself ever again in case it goes back up 😆 #fitness #running #Zwift #Pilates #FightKlub #weight #BMI

I went to Fight Klub for the first time in a couple of weeks today. It flew by! It really is a lot of fun 😊 #FightKlub

I signed this petition to tell Barclays to cut ties with JBS, one of the world’s worst offenders for animal suffering and environmental destruction. Will you do the same? action.worldanimalprotection.org.uk/tell-barclay... #animalCruelty #vegan #veganForTheAnimals #endAnimalCruelty

I could get used to this running earlier in the morning malarkey – apart from the getting up earlier in the morning 😁 #running

The plumber used a hammer to remove the tap handle, then replaced the innards of the tap, finishing it with a shiny new tap handle. No more leaky tap. #problemSolved #plumbing #diy #taps

The mixer tap in the kitchen started dripping. I thought I’d fix it. What could possibly go wrong? The plumber is on his way to look at it. #diy #whatCouldPossiblyGoWrong #plumbing #taps

Got out of bed early to go running this morning to try to beat the heat. It was still boiling. #running #Garmin

I heard my bird of the day in Merlin Bird: a great tit! #birds #birdsong #birdId

Instead of going out early or late, when it was cooler, I went out when it was hot, resulting in Coach Greg giving me my first ever ‘Room to grow’ instead of ‘Good job’. I feel disappointed and a bit stupid. But I wanted to see how well I could run in the heat now; not well. #running #Garmin

After a really bad running week last week, this week has been good. Easy runs are easy again, and the dreaded goal pace repeats are hard but not dreadful. #running

Beware of people wearing Garmin heart-rate monitors that automatically and silently pair with your device, meaning you get all their stats instead of your own. #Garmin #HRM #stats #running

Yet another app I use frequently has turned to the subscription model. #subscriptions #apps #rants #grumbles

Today is a day of rest from running, so I zwifted instead. #running #restDay #Zwift

Top tip: if you can’t connect to your MySql database in Sequel Ace, check your database is actually running. #topTips #MySql #SequelAce

Maths teachers must be delighted that so many people remember how to do Venn and Euler diagrams. #maths #VennDiagrams #EulerDiagrams

I went shopping for clothes today. When did designers start making dresses from tablecloths? Is it a Sewing Bee transformation challenge thing? #clothes #tablecloths #GreatBritishSewingBee #shopping

I did yesterday’s long easy run this morning. It went well. The pace was just right for me. #running

Not sure why my Christmas cactus feels like it should be flowering in the spring. #ChristmasCactus #plants #flowers
