I'm shocked to my core.

I hear the press have got hold of some pictures and so I have been forced to make this statement. Needless to say, I apologise. https://t.co/mNRsQ57iTF

Here's a little primer for anyone who's struggling to understand what's going on.

I wouldn't have qualified as a teacher if I hadn't started attend parkrun regularly.

So, when I'm running, I'm going to be running in aid of SAMH and if you fancy sponsoring me, that would be wonderful. If you don't/can't that's totally reasonable.

Like everyone my age, this is the year I turn 40.

To celebrate, in September I am running the Loch Ness Marathon.

While running has huge fitness benefits, the mental health benefits I have noticed since getting back into running in 2017 have been huge.

Happy Edwin Morgan Day everyone!

[joepevans @joepevans]

@edwardrhbarlow That's how it's meant to be done.

I finished reading The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath.

My hot take is that it's very good and I should have read it years ago.

If you’ve not seen Godzilla Minus One, let me be yet another person to suggest you rectify that situation.

The more I think about, the more I’m sure it’s the best Godzilla film I’ve seen.

[joepevans @joepevans]

Over the last year I have read Days Like These by @brian_bilston and Word Perfect by @susie_dent And they have been fantastic breakfast companions. Often funny, often sad, always interesting.

[joepevans @joepevans]

I read Ask A Historian by Greg Jenner. It's wonderfully bitesize and full of excellent takes on history you think you know and history you've never heard of but really should have.

@lukewrightpoet I hope it's ok but that's my lesson for Monday sorted.

I'm doing a poem a week with some reluctant 15 year olds. This is ideal

[joepevans @joepevans]

I read The Rise by @Beathhigh . The first of his I've read in ages and not a Rebus! What an absolute pleasure. Small but perfectly formed.

[joepevans @joepevans]

@julllaura There is so much

[joepevans @joepevans]

@julllaura This one?

[joepevans @joepevans]

I read Can I Have My Ball Back @Herring1967 which, despite being an avid RHLSTP (RHLSTP!) listener and listening to the accompanying CIHMBB podcast, was a really informative, sad and funny read. You should read it if you have testicles, 1 testicle, or none.

Has this been brought to your attention?

[joepevans @joepevans]

@blankcheckpod It's available in the UK.

[joepevans @joepevans]

I read The Falling Sky by Pippa Goldschmidt. Just like her short stories, it's a beautiful depiction of what it means to be working today in science, and trying to be a human at the same time.

I just wish there was more of her writing to read.
