Tough afternoon in the sun for Aberavon RFC at Llandovery today. An interception try right on half-time when close to scoring and another try 30 sec into the 2nd half were absolute killers. Dropped to a 66-21 defeat (26-0 HT) with no try bonus point to take home. Tough one!

Had an incredible four days exploring Gdańsk with @cymruwizardess.bsky.social . I’ve been lucky to visit many places, but this is easily the most fascinating city. From WWII & Solidarity museums to Westerplatte, coastal Sopot, boat trips, local food & drink, and warm people - Dziękuję Gdańsk! 🇵🇱

Disappointing loss at the TAG today for Aberavon against Ebbw Vale, SRC runner-up last two seasons. A great 1st half saw the Wizards lead 19-12, but Ebbw took control to win 26-52. Afan salvaged a try bonus point at 75 mins, but the game had slipped away. On to the next.

1st SRC game of the season for Aberavon RFC saw a carbon copy of the Rams game - an early yellow card had the Wizards 0-17 down, but Afan rallied with 36 unanswered points to turn it around from 14-17 at HT and seal a 36-17 win over Bridgend. Good to see the grass green again!

The Wizards wrapped up pre-season at Blackheath today. The hosts went 5-0 up before Aberavon RFC led 5-17 at HT. A wild 2nd half saw Blackheath retake the lead, Afan surge back to 19-27, and the hosts pull within 1 pt - before snatching a 31-27 win on the final play.

An early yellow card saw Aberavon RFC fall 0-24 behind to Rams RFC, but the Wizards rallied with 45 unanswered points - scoring 8 tries total - to turn it around from 12-24 at half-time to seal a 52-29 win at the TAG in the Wizards third pre-season game.

Another tough, dry pitch test at the TAG for Aberavon RFC against London Welsh in the Wizards second pre-season game. In another 3x30min runout, Afan trailed 0-14 after P1 and 14-19 after P2, before a big P3 sealed a 50-19 win (8-3 tries overall).

Good pre-season runout for Aberavon RFC against Clifton RFC on a hard TAG surface today. A 3x30min format saw the Wizards lead 31-12 after P1 and 43-19 after P2, before Clifton rallied to finish 43-40 (7-6 tries overall).

Finished this yesterday ⬇️ By far my favourite book by G (nothing beats an autobiography). A fantastic read that brought back so many memories of watching him race, whether from our sofa or from a roadside in France! 🚴‍♂️

🚨 New picture just dropped by NASA of Earth at night captured by an astronaut Reid Wiseman 🌍
Earth as seen from the Orion capsule. It is divided sharply in half, with a line running diagonally from the 11 o'clock to the 4 o'clock. The lower left half is a bright pale blue. Its surface is covered with swirly, puffy white clouds, with texture indicating different thicknesses. The upper right half is dark, with no illumination from the Sun. Earth is set against the black of space. Credit: NASA/Reid Wiseman

“We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.”

I was around in 1968, but was way too young to comprehend the significance of that year and the fact the US was trying to find new ways to rip itself to shreds. Apollo 8 saved that year with a dramatic Christmastime flight around the Moon. Can Artemis II save 2026? (keep in mind it's only January)
