Astronautism

Adam is rebooting. Please insert startup coffee and press any key to continue… ☕️ I’m still getting out on my bike from time to time when the weather is good, and grateful for such beautiful countryside to cycle through; we’ve got some nice spots here in Somerset. Fingers crossed for some better weather coming up: I’ve decided now is a good time to reboot my life… 🚲☀️🙂 #Bike #Cycling #BikeRide #Explore #Adventure #OnYourBike #Bridgwater #Somerset #Sedgemoor #SomersetLevels #Canal #BridgwaterAndTauntonCanal #Water #Countryside #Spring #Summer #Sprimmer #sunshine #BlueSky #Nature #Wildlife #NoFilter (at Bridgwater and Taunton Canal) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPTWhyWDCms/?utm_medium=tumblr

My bike has saved my sanity during lockdown. I’m disappointed that I didn’t cope with lockdown as well as I had wanted but I had been looking forwards to some warm weather to get out on my bike in and we certainly got it. This was Parchey Bridge, on a very warm day in May. I’m fortunate to have some attractive countryside to explore and particularly grateful for my bike to explore it with right now. Hopefully the weather will warm up again soon so I can explore it further. #spring #summer #sprimmer #warm #sunny #sunshine #BlueSky #countryside #ParcheyBridge #KingsSedgemoorDrain #Sedgemoor #Somerset #SomersetLevels #Bike #cycling #OnYourBike @onyourbikebridgwater #BikeRide (at Chedzoy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBn4acrgYRn/?igshid=y5xdbh6y4lml

This photo of Sassy soaking up the spring sunshine the other day is just begging to go on Instagram. 😻☀️ #Sassy #Cat #Kitty #Caturday #CatsOfInstagram #Spring #Sun #Sunshine #Sunny https://www.instagram.com/p/B_aDELBgKDf/?igshid=1uutys3wc1p0o

I’ve been feeling like a shadow of my former self lately, so the other day I went down to Exmouth for a day at the beach. #beach #sea #exmouth #summer #sun #sand #devon #SouthWest #travel #DayTrip #DayOff #ChillOut #relax ☀️🏖🌴🗺😎 (at Exmouth Sea Front) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1gwFsBAvmd/?igshid=126ukqi1jruak

Sassy would like to wish everyone a happy #InternationalCatDay. Either that or she wants a cuddle. Possibly both. 😻 #cat #kitty #CatsOfInstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B06QoTkgvJ0/?igshid=1ikoeunosk3ce

Toasty ☀️🔥🥵 (feat. @weatherunderground) but before anyone points out how much hotter it gets in other countries just look at how the temperature drops tomorrow! #weather #UKWeather #hot #sunny #heatwave #summer #UK (at Bridgwater) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WKhH0A1et/?igshid=11l1tip45kwlc

Today is #WorldAutismAwarenessDay! I’m one of some 700,000 autistic people in the UK. There are a lot of misconceptions around autism and we are often capable of far more than people realise: for example, I have a masters degree in aerospace engineering, completed the @spaceuniversity Space Studies Program, completed two skydives, visited several countries across two continents and climbed a 2500ft mountain. Many of us are capable of living a wide range of lifestyles with only modest support. Unfortunately we still face many obstacles in life due to a widespread lack of understanding. Most seriously, only 16% of autistic people are in full time work and we often face spending years out of work. Progress is being made but there’s still a long way to go. • • • • #AutismAwarenessDay #AutismAwarenessWeek #AutismAwarenessMonth #AutismAcceptance #WorldAutismAcceptanceDay #Autism #ActuallyAutistic #Aspergers #AspergerSyndrome #30DaysOfAutismAcceptance https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvwo8PYgOmS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qrl9ddgopqsw

I got myself a new iPad yesterday! My old one served me well, but reached a point where I couldn’t update apps or iOS and was so slow I could barely use it. This new one is much better: lighter and faster than both my old iPad and my even older Mac! 🙂 https://www.instagram.com/p/BnCJ4c7gKaI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rjrmy96aem0a

Sassy is trying to be a doorstop, in that she lays in the doorway and makes you stop to cuddle her. 😼😄 #cat

With summer here and the weather warming up, it’s time to wake up my Instagram account. Last Wednesday I took myself to Exmouth for an afternoon by the sea. It felt good to get my feet back on the sand for once… 🏖☀️😎 #sea #beach #sand #exmouth (at Exmouth Sea Front)
