My name is Mouse. 56yr old male. I #run🏃🏼for fun. Better a little smile than a big ego. Kind hearts are more than Coronets, & simple faith than Norman blood.
Mainstream media have decided that THEY determine the “correct” opinion, and then we get to hear the stories that support it.
Journalism is supposed to give us the FACTS and then WE form an opinion.
Not been running much & not posted on Twitter much. I’m juggling lots at work & at home. No:1 son started a trade training scheme on Monday. He’s exhausted. No:2 son in a tizz as he fell short on his Higher Maths exam result. His career plan scuppered. He’s resitting this year.
@Dad__Miles 👍 Sure does. My boys need a lot from me at the moment. I’m right here for them. As I have always been. I just want to make sure I’m here as a steadying factor for them as they both go through this wobbly time in their lives. Calm waters will return again. For now, I’m here 🛶
@JontyHart01@DiBrander A bit far from me. Not too far, but far enough. Lovely hills up there. On a clear day I can see them from south Glasgow. 🏔️
We had summer last week. That’s it done. It’s gone. It’ll start getting dark soon, followed by 8 months of cold rain, then snow 😂
My aunt who emigrated to 🇺🇸 35 years ago once told me when I was going through a difficult time in my life, after she herself went through a difficult time, ‘apples will grow again’. Indeed they will 🇬🇧 This is my flag. These are my ppl. You are too 🇺🇸 🤝 🇬🇧.

I’ve now missed all my running goals & targets, & my running streak from the 1st of January ended a couple of weeks ago 😢. Long story. That’s the way of it. But, I’m still here. Moving. Grateful. Blessed.
@UltraRunner26 Cheers, Danny. It’s all relative. But, for sure, folks like you inspire me to keep going. Every day I move forward, no matter how slight, I feel I am achieving something. Thank you
@JayssonJay1 Cheers, Jay. I’m just a plodder in awe of folk like you who push through adversity and achieve amazing running goals. Folk like you inspire me. Thank you.
My sons had their Proms this week. All went well 😮💨
I cut through a customers phone cable this morning 🤦♂️ - discovered it was old cable, thank goodness 😬
Oldest son & his pals flew ✈️ to Belfast this morning - I’m worried 😧
Blood pressure v high on Monday. Got it lower now.
10 year run streak!! 💚🏃♀️
Fantastic miles on this lovely morning. A ton of hills so I could get my route to be the number 10. Home before sunrise.
I love to run, it's that simple!!
Shou Sugi Ban technique on my Oak wood 10.

@SkiRunLift Your area sounds great. You have seasons ☀️ 🍃 🍂 🍁 ❄️ ⛄️. I’m 10 years away from retirement age. Pension doesn’t kick in until then. I have a small military pension that’ll start in 3 years. I’ll reduce my hours then. We all just gotta keep grinding on. Pushing that wheel.
Any employers or households in 🇺🇸 that would like to sponsor & employ a 56yr old 🇬🇧 gardener (plantsman) & lawn care specialist who wants to escape 🇬🇧, then I’m available. I want to be a US citizen & live out my days in the Land of the Free. Ex-Army Commando. +’ve work ethic 💪.
@SoldByDrDeb It’s my happy place. I live in a large industrial (run down) town. I escape here to this beautiful location near the sea. I’ll live here one day. ❤️
🏃 around the lake, through the woods, down to the river, & back.
Loved every step. Needed it.
Wishing folks a lovely weekend. Keep moving forward, no matter how small the steps may be. Little by little, slowly but surely.
@SkiRunLift My wife & I will leave. I’m keen, but my wife has lived here all her life. But even she is shocked at the speed of the deterioration. The place is going downhill. 1 - 2 yrs & we’ll be gone. Heading away from town to a village near the coast. I’d prefer 🇺🇸, but my wife won’t go.❤️
@SkiRunLift My local area has had protests recently. Females being assaulted & harassed. Illegal migrants being housed in hotels. Roaming the streets. Outside schools, gyms & bars. Some locals have had enough. Taking to the streets. Politicians blaming locals, &refuse to acknowledge concerns
