@ianRobinson I'm going to say yes, even though I suspect you may argue otherwise ;)
@ianRobinson You're going to miss all the Die Hard references as we approach Christmas.
@ianRobinson Smart move.
@ianRobinson See Gruberās latest piece.

Double #parkrun again this weekend, with Battersea yesterday (best time of the year, somehow) and RD duties at Figges Marsh juniors this morning. One person was celebrating their 100th volunteer and brought homemade cookies.

Rhetorical question of the day: why do people think it's okay to abbreviate my name to "Steve" without asking first?
@ianRobinson "Humane" is such a good word to describe it.
āSmall Prophets is sad and funny and whimsical, an unlikely piece of alchemy that comes together as simultaneously wild and understatedly humane.ā Thatās a pretty much perfect description.
