@cerysmatthews.bsky.social great show, as always, and Mackenzie Crook's 'If Nick Drake Came To My House' really cheered me up after a difficult few weeks. Just listened to it for the third time today. Lovely!

This fine boy is Eric. He's 10 years old, and has lived with us for nearly 9 of them. He's had chronic kidney disease for about 4 years, and is a bit thinner than we'd like. We love him to bits. #cats

A return to racing after a month out injured, at the Quayside 5K 🥵 Great to see lots of clubmates from North Shields Poly. I'm off the pace at the minute, inevitably, but time, training, and laying off the booze and crap food will fix that.
