Entrepreneur, now exited. iNED. Past Master of the Company of Entrepreneurs. Tweeting about City of London, Livery and HE. Apparently a flying monkey….

I’m back down to my pre-holiday weight. Praise be!

First day back at work after a six week break. *Urgh*

Arrived at the Falklands. Let’s do this!

In two weeks’ time, #COP30 will be in Belém, Brazil.

I’ve always been a leader, not a follower.

@AmazonUK’s packaging goes from worse to worse. What an absolute waste. This huge box for a golf club.

9 holes of golf, Sainsbury’s big shop, and back home just after 10:30. Might change my name to Garythehumandynamo…

@PeterAr41028883 Thank you for your input. You have no idea how much I’ve missed you in my life.

[Gary Dixon @GaryLiveryman]

Well, I did it. #londonmarathon2025

[Gary Dixon @GaryLiveryman]

In fact, even more “before” photo.

[Gary Dixon @GaryLiveryman]

Before and after. Almost done.

[Gary Dixon @GaryLiveryman]

Morning. In about 45 minutes I’m about to run the #LondonMarathon. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.

[Gary Dixon @GaryLiveryman]

Last night I saw #murielswedding at @CurveLeicester. It was a great show. Go and see it if you can folks!

[Gary Dixon @GaryLiveryman]

Fancying a change, I’m taking part in a sleep out tonight in London to support a homeless charity. And why not?

This weekend, I’ll be trying to persuade Mrs D to let me take her away for a two week cruise to the Western Caribbean. I feel that she will be reluctant. Place your bets!

[Gary Dixon @GaryLiveryman]

I’m delighted to report that the present Mrs Dixon, @Lindalanchester, is still excellent wife material, having stood for two hours in the rain to get this pic of me doing the #GreatNorthRun2024. Happy to confirm her reappointment to the role for another 40 years.

I am delighted that @UniofLeicester has been shortlisted for the prestigious Times Higher Education University of the Year 2024. Fantastic recognition for the hard work of students, staff, alumni, and all our supporters. @timeshighered #CitizensOfChange

I had lunch yesterday with a friend. She was bemoaning how hard it is to take time to exercise, as you get older. I explained that I’d just watched a young woman, WITH NO ARMS, compete in the #Paralympic2024 archery competition. It’s all about focussing, and getting on with it.

I used this picture, three months old, in the hope that whomever checks my Railcard will say “surely you’re not 60….”.

Sad!

Getting my Parkrun routine back on track. After holidays, injuries and alternative hikes, it’s good to get back to my normal Saturday morning, visiting a new Parkrun. 👍🏻

[Gary Dixon @GaryLiveryman]

Ah, jet lag. How I’ve missed you. Now you’re here with a vengeance.

Still, the trip allowed me to get shots like this:
