I'd better post about a marathon I am running! On 27th September 2026, I'll be running the Loch Ness Marathon, and I'll be doing it for Macmillan Cancer Support. Any sponsorship would be very much appreciated for a cause very close to my heart (yes, I'll sort the photo out, none of these are me 😆)

i don’t know what everyone is panicking about. We’re 7 points off champs league with 33 games left to play. I can hear that pregame anthem already. #COYS

I‘m honestly not too bleak about this. There is a style of play emerging, the players are passing and running, at times it looks good. We’re making chances - and all this while a number of players look uncomfortable. It’ll come. Maybe more hope than anything else but I have faith. #COYS

Utter privilege to see the Palestinian Circus today. So moving. Came away astounded by their talent, resilience, and hope. Last day tomorrow until Edinburgh. See them if you’re going.

A viral video claims that three quarters of pregnant women vaccinated against Covid experience miscarriages. As we explain, that’s not true at all. There’s no link between the vaccine and miscarriage.

Watched Hail Mary last night. Didn’t know too much about it, was not expecting what I got. Outstanding. I can’t believe I got that emotional about a rock. Thought Ryan Gosling was extraordinary in it. Watch it, it’s class.

Watched the full 90 mins from last night again to is morning with my daughter. A) I’m going to miss our family breakfast football sessions. B) the future is bright. Yes Kane will decline or go, but those lads have it. C) keep the manager. He’ll learn and never again make that mistake.

We’ll always have the moment Gordon scored, followed by that tackle by Spence. That, in a World Cup semifinal, was glorious.

Thought you might like to see your work in action @noscoredraws.com. Our favourite game is when the players make the faces you’ve drawn in the middle of a match. Kane has done it ten times already.

Chicken thighs on the bbq. Chunked up then smashed together in an oily, minty, oregano, garlic, lemony marinade. Flattened onto a couple of skewers. Whacked on a decent heat and then sliced almost doner kebab style. Phwoar.

Dream of a day at Wimbledon. Saw some belting tennis. What a perfect way to spend a Wednesday.

A low-angle shot looking up at the ivy-covered exterior of Centre Court at Wimbledon. Large white block letters spell out "CENTRE COURT" above an entrance marked "NORTH EAST HALL". High above, a digital schedule board displays "TODAY'S SCHEDULE - NO. 1 COURT" with ladies' and gentlemen's second-round match listings. In the foreground, several spectators walk toward the entrance under a bright sky.

A high-angle view of a men's singles tennis match in progress on a grass court at Wimbledon. In the foreground, a player in an all-white kit and headband is fully extended mid-serve, tracking a yellow tennis ball high in the air. Across the net, his opponent stands ready at the baseline. The background features steep grandstands completely packed with spectators watching the match under a lightly overcast sky.

A bright, cheerful selfie of a smiling woman with curly hair wearing a red and white polka dot sleeveless top, alongside a man wearing a green shirt, sunglasses, and a straw fedora hat. They are sitting in the stands at Wimbledon, with the green grass court and crowded spectator seating stretching out behind them.
