Another fantastic challenge! I was working on this one during recent bike rides. Thinking about all the potential in a bike. Thanks so much to Matthew M C Smith and this week’s TopTweetTuesday host Zaina Ghani Zaina! Have a great day everyone!

I’ll take a cable box over this dysfunctional universe tv has morphed into. It’s all still controlled by 10 companies. Can we get it all together again?

As a regular reader of James McConachie ‘s work…he is incapable of disappointing the reader with his poetry. A collection not to be missed! Published by Black Bough Poetry / Barddoniaeth Y Gangen Ddu Keep an eye out in a couple weeks!

The person I’m married to won’t stop sending me Reels.
