So, only a few years ago too.

I was chatting to a work colleague today who is running their first marathon in London next Sunday. When asked if I'd ever run the London Marathon, I answered, "Yes, the last time was a few years ago." I then realised 2017 is actually 9 years ago. NINE Years! How has that happened?

It's a beautiful day here in Nottingham.

Special shout out to Green Runner Darren Evans for his mission to help runners fix their shoes and speaking out about the importance of becoming a greener runner.

Meet Jess. 👋

Jess is one of our new members who joined at the Brighton Marathon weekend event.

The more of us there are, the louder our voice.

Being a Green Runner is about progress not perfection. We are here to support each other on our green journeys. Joining is simple, see link in thread,

I even stopped and chatted to a neighbour whilst out. 🤣

This morning, the soap bar had reduced to a tiny slither, so I molded it onto a fresh bar whilst showering. Later, I walked to the shops. On returning home, I happened to rub the top of my bald head & discovered I'd been walking around the shops with a slither of soap stuck to my scalp.

I stumbled across an unworn pair of my favourite ever, but now discontinued trail shoes on Vinted. I imagine this is what finding buried treasure feels like.

You learn something new every day. I didn't know there was ever a buttons bar. Google tells me limited edition bars with buttons embedded into them have been produced in the past.

Controversially, we eliminated buttons as they aren't a bar.

The boy Bowen received a Kit Kat Chunky Easter egg. We both agree that the Kit Kat Chunky is the greatest chocolate bar ever produced.

Save your wallet & the planet - the case for durable running shoes.

This article was born out of a question we asked here on BlueSky a few weeks ago.

Key takeaway - research before you buy. Make your next pair of shoes the ones that lasts the distance.

Oh no! I'm sorry you had to cut your adventure short. Wishing Frank a speedy recovery.

🤬

I hope you both enjoy the journey and have a fantastic adventure.

I could be embarrassingly wrong, but...

They now understand how to unblock a sewer, how the different drainage pipes connect, and how to clean gravel and separate it from sewage. The downside is we need a new colander for the kitchen.

Yesterday afternoon, I began some spring gardening but quickly discovered our sewer was blocked, and sewage was pooling on a gravelled area down the side of the house.

The clean-up was not a pleasant task, but it turned into an educational opportunity for the young adult Bowens.

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

Nottingham Green Runners gathered at Holme Pierrepont parkrun on a glorious spring day ☀️

Living our #HowWeMove pillar they travelled to the park on foot, bike, tram & bus 🚴‍♂️🚊

They cooled down with a litter pick before a coffee & catch-up in the TEN66 café ☕️

A great way to start the weekend 💚

Grab a brew ☕️
