Feeling a wee bit emotional. Feeling also a wee bit emotional about last day at the gym I go to nearly every morning before work too. Also feeling a wee bit unproductive 😂17 Jul 2026 05:56 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqt2w5kqjc2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3mqp4t25x6s22Some people say think twice before you speak I eat twice before I speak.

We’re so visual as species and so focused on eyes for anthropomorphic assumptions. We got googly eyes but no googly ears or lips or noses. Or do we?14 Jul 2026 11:07 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqm2vkgch22vhttps://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3mqj7gjrktk2yRight.

Today’s question: what’s your relationship with hype? The hype about the little things, like coffee or a sandwich or something similar. Does it push the expectations too high? Or does it still work for you and you can see it and enjoy it?06 Jul 2026 20:20 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpyw3gyefk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3mpxgu6f4k22iGood morning! After the defeat in the T20 World Cup, I was expecting a similar fate for our lads in the footie. But have woken up pleasantly surprised. This on top of the fact that I woke up somewhere in the middle of the night with our neighbours angry shouting at their screens.06 Jul 2026 06:15 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpxgu6f4k22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3mpocxjnf622dHellooooo me hearties.

Two days spent meeting lots of people, plus some awesome food thrown in too. I hope you’ve all had or are having an amazing weekend and it carries on being awesome into next week.28 Jun 2026 20:04 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mperfvqjwk24https://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3mpdibztexc22Yesterday was mostly spent seeing some of the awesome Twitter people who’d come all the way down to Oxford. It was so awesome. I do love a good Tweet Up, and it’s so awesome to turn phone people into real people, but also see some of the ones you’ve met already again 🥰28 Jun 2026 07:48 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpdibztexc22https://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3mpdi53srgk22Good morning , world. It’s a pleasant temperature here today. Partially cloudy, nice breeze and about 20-24 today. Normally this would be considered summer but we’re calling it a cool day after the heatwave I don’t like them heatwaves 😭28 Jun 2026 07:45 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpdi53srgk22https://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3mp6l66x6b227Really hoping today starts the end of the heatwave. And we don’t get another one this year. 😭😭😭26 Jun 2026 08:56 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mp6l66x6b227https://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3mp4zp4krrs26Imagine if our language was just being invented.

How are we? How has Thursday been treating us? I’ve spent most of the day (post run) in the air conditioned office so feeling chill. About to head home though. Still so hot. Hoping it calms down soon!

It was hot. Enjoy a real face. A smiley face. Back to real face. Glad for all the greenery around. The shades definitely helped. Normally I’d run to the river but it was strictly ‘stick to the shady bits’ kind of a run today.21 Jun 2026 11:30 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mosbhrgtms2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/smacula.bsky.social/post/3morxgxefpk2oGood morning. Hot and sunny out already. Was supposed to go on a run today. To do or not to do? Or to do a short one? Was hoping for 10k plus originally.21 Jun 2026 08:31 +0000at://did:plc:4ccpdndkarkrwozcepy3wrt3/app.bsky.feed.post/3morxgxefpk2o
