"In these optical-mechanical instances where light and time collide, we stake our claim and take our place in the world." Words from the last chapter of my book, Blotts Pit & Skylarks. To read all that comes before them, see here now: jweditions.co.uk/images/blotts-…

@gcntweet Hi GCN, got my mega deal £19.99 GCN+ subscription today. Looking forward to the launch. Will it allow AirPlay from the app to smart TVs and the like? Similar to how you can with YouTube? 🚲 📺 👌🏻 😀

@crp_uk Better guesswork than I could ever do, so thanks!

@tomwilkinson_ I don’t think adaptive per se would determine a preferred axle, though perhaps adaptive does slow down the car more and more often so possibly that greater overall workload is better spread across all four wheels? (I’m guessing!)

Rear disks and pads will need replacing soon. Fun fact: the cruise control modulates speed by applying the rear brakes rather than the fronts. Use cruise control a lot (motorway miles) and your rear disks & pads will need replacing before the fronts. As mine demonstrate. #BMW

@RobHudsonPhoto I need to catch up with this series, looks brill. I’d swap the word “often” with “always” ☺️

@tracing_silence I remember using that quote in my dissertation. Great book, but thick! 😁

@crp_uk @petrawiltshire Sounds perfectly reasonable!

@tomwilkinson_ @petrawiltshire 🙂 My winter MTB post-ride routine would be to hose the mud off the chain and derailleur before giving both a squirt of lube. A light touch, and then a deeper clean every other week or so. Having the space to do so was key, needless to say.

Cycling in winter. 4 degrees, wet roads. Guess I best get used to it! 🚴

@petrawiltshire @crp_uk Oh good, I don’t feel so bad now!

@tomwilkinson_ @crp_uk I got home and was so wet and cold I failed to even do that. I was on my road bike too. Cannot face riding mtb here yet

@petrawiltshire @crp_uk Yes, even for road riders let alone MTBers! Ashamed to admit I just wiped mine down after today! 😁

@tomwilkinson_ @crp_uk Yep it's a struggle but once out and pedaling I normally perk up, bike cleaning is definitely a big hiccup though

@petrawiltshire @crp_uk I look at places like Australia and California with envious eyes! But it’s only an hour or so of uncomfortableness and it’s always worth it no matter how hard it is to get out of the house!

@crp_uk @tomwilkinson_ I know the pain after living so many years overseas in great climates.. Truly shitty

@RobHudsonPhoto Good work boss! You’ll be buying a bike next? 😀

Watching an old #xfiles Season 3, Syzygy. Totally forgot @VancityReynolds was in it. Yes!

Well that’s my evening sorted

This light 👌🏻

Looking at this one again today. I love this picture: Minor White / Windowsill Daydreaming, Rochester, New York, 1958.

I am 100 followers away from 6k, trying to hit 100 followers this week. Can someone help me with that, please? 🐶❤️

@carltonkirby That comment about the times chalkboard being akin to a menu will keep me chucking all week! 😁
