I'm going to attempt to run 106km around the Isle of Wight as part of the Isle of Wight ultra challenge on Saturday.
I'm raising money for St Christopher's hospice, our local hospice. There's more about why on the page.

Oi @CamScanner you can get straight in the bin with "Give up" as the opposite of signing up for a trial. What sort of garbage is that? I have subscribed before in the past, but won't be again anytime soon with that sort of nonsense.
One for you @harrybr
100% this should be a TV show.
Cuteness, drama, characters, aggression, slapstick, tension, jeopardy. It has it all.
Blimey that's one of the most damning things I've seen about the government, and from a very gently asked non-combative question.
A Conservative MP asked to name ONE thing that works better than it did 14 years ago.

Who'd be an MP? My huge respect to anyone who puts up with the abuse, pressure and workload which seems to be par for the course. We need to think about how to ensure that public life doesn't repel the best and brightest. For now, we should be grateful for those it attracts.

I obviously have professional suspicions towards think tanks behind this government given they claim to be free traders, sometimes trade experts, but supported the greatest rise in trade barriers by a developed country in modern times. Growth does not seem to be their motivation.

With direct lies like this in our media it is little surprise that the UK is broken. The public deserve protection against this sort of misinformation and disinformation.

Stephen Glover has the grace to praise BBC, but newspaper people, of which I was one, fail to understand that the Beeb unifies us all the time, every day - it the press which tears us apart with lies and dogma.

Some preparation still to be done, then we're in for design club, round 2 starting next week.
This time doing a full term instead of just half a term...😬🙂
