It&#039;s not an open sewer like Twitter, it&#039;s not full of people taking jokes at face value like Bluesky, but it seems to have a lot of people/bots expressing opinions, probably solely so that people will RT them and they will get more views and maybe more money. Which would be a sad way to make money, but then who am I to talk? https://richardherring.com/warmingup/22/9/2026/index.html Tue, 22 Sep 2026 10:53:00 +0100 8692/21611My second day of filming on Zak The Ripper, though the crew and some of the cast have been working pretty solidly since our first day on the 7th September. They were in good spirits, not quite as perky and excited as day one, with a few people suffering with exhaustion and bugs. But still laughing together and it sounds like filming has been going really well. https://richardherring.com/warmingup/21/9/2026/index.html Mon, 21 Sep 2026 09:57:00 +0100 8691/21610I&#039;ve always dreamed of coming to Newhaven ever since I heard it existed, yesterday. And today my 24 hour long dreams came true. I came to Newhaven, as we&#039;re filming Zak the Ripper here tomorrow. Newhaven, Newhaven, so good they named it Newhaven.It was a wearying journey. I was still a bit under the weather with my low key man flu and my high key man cancer. I&#039;d hoped to record a Newsround before Ieft this afternoon, but my brain was fuzzy and none of the news seemed that funny, so Newshounds will have to wait until Wednesday for the next one. https://richardherring.com/warmingup/20/9/2026/index.html Sun, 20 Sep 2026 13:13:00 +0100 If you want to see the pictures, then read this on Substack!&nbsp;<br/>8690/21609Trying to get the kids (and me) away from screens we used my English Heritage membership for about the 4th time in 5 years and went to Wrest Park. Even though it&#039;s only half an hour away from our house I had never heard of it before. But it was half an hour away from our house and that was the clincher for me.The kids were very reluctant to go, just as I was very reluctant to do anything like this as a kid, just like you were very reluctant to do stuff like this as a kid. https://richardherring.com/warmingup/19/9/2026/index.html Sat, 19 Sep 2026 15:55:00 +0100 8689/21608Despite feeling a bit under the weather I forced myself into doing a Park Run (Phoebe&#039;s kick off time was late enough this morning) and until the 5th km I felt pretty good and was even at pace to get sub 30 minutes. In the end it was 30 mins and 36 seconds, which is still 3 minutes faster than my last effort. At this rate, by Christmas, I will have finished before I started. It feels good to be getting round, though I&#039;m still a long way off my PB and even over a minute slower than I was doing it at the beginning of the year. https://richardherring.com/warmingup/18/9/2026/index.html Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:07:00 +0100 8688/21607Thanks for the suggestions about what to do with my cables (and someone has claimed the thing with the pink wires- see Substack), so this story has a happy ending. My point was really that even with a tidy up I still hung on to an unrealistic number of leads that I will never use, but maybe I forgot to say that.&nbsp;<br/>As you know I loved my dog, but I am not very fond of our current cats (why couldn&#039;t they have died in Wolfie&#039;s place?). I am not cattist. I loved my first cat, Oscar and I loved Liono (another pet taken too young). https://richardherring.com/warmingup/17/9/2026/index.html Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:34:00 +0100 8687/21606As the planet Earth spins ever closer to the welcome extinction of the human race (no point in having this blog preserved in the British Library now), I have been trying to tidy up my frankly disgustingly dirty and jumbled office space. It&#039;s been going quite well and today I decided to go through my drawers of cables and old bits of podcast tech and work out which, if any of them, I actually needed.
