Got a proper soaking at Abbot's Wood #parkrun and I loved it!

Fabulous win for Sussex, wiping out the points deduction at the first attempt. Positive response to a tough situation. 👍🏏 #GOSBTS

First #parkrun since November due to nerve damage in my leg. Walked some, ran some, loved it.

Tickets booked for The Wonder Stuff and Inspiral Carpets in Brighton. Excited. Just have to wait until October!

Well, I was calling for Fabian to go, and now it's three wins from four. Such a strange, inconsistent season. #bhafc

I really wanted it to work with Fabian, but today was awful. The players were so far off the required levels. They don't believe in the coach. Time for change. #bhafc

First trip to The Amex for a couple of months, after a back injury. So, who are we playing? Oh. #bhafc

Woke up at half-five, buzzing with excitement and anticipation for #TheAshes. Why? Why was I hopeful? Of course we're getting thrashed.

Revisiting 'Revenge of the Goldfish' by Inspiral Carpets. What an album - one banger after another. An hour well spent.

One of those lovely #parkrun mornings where I just plodded round, not caring about the time. A gentle bit of exercise and 5k in the bank to start the weekend.

What an extraordinary game of cricket. Well played, India!🏏 #CWC25

Had a lovely day exploring Worcester. What a beautiful city. Found a pub for the football. Trust The Albion to spoil a cracking day. #bhafc

Light rain for Eastbourne #parkrun- perfect for cooling us down as we ran. Loved it!

Fair play, Fabian. Subs changed the game. What a turnaround! #bhafc

We are awful. I don't recognise the team from last season. #bhafc

Last of the summer overseas parkruns done. Today was the beautiful Centennial #parkrun in Sydney. Lakes, avenues of trees - loved it.

Had the privilege of doing Puarenga #parkrun in Rotorua - a geothermal parkrun. Lovely crowd of people there. Thanks for the warm welcome.

First overseas #parkrun done in Melbourne. Thanks to all at Parkville Parkrun.

Ferguson to Roma - not sure how to feel about that. Thought we had a £100m striker on our hands, but he really struggled last season. Good luck to him; hopefully, he'll rediscover his form. #bhafc

I was listening to the nail-biting conclusion to the Test Match whilst trying to proofread my school reports. What a brilliant finish!🏏 My reports still need proofreading.

Such awful news of Diogo Jota's death. It's indescribably tragic, seeing the wedding photos of a happy, beautiful young family. Much love to the family of Diogo and Andre.

Another one off to Chelsea.🤦‍♂️ Bye Joao. Thanks for Marseille and Palace. Try to at least have a shot on target before you demand more from their fans. #bhafc

Saw Iron Maiden at the London Stadium. They were brilliant. A blast through the soundtrack of my teenage years.

Happy 14th June to all those (except one) who celebrate.

Unhappy Birthday to Me

It’s important to share, or so I’ve been taught,
to show kindness to others, to be a good sport.
But all of those teachings have taken a bump –
for I share my birthday with Donald Trump.

For years I knew not of this dark, dreadful fate,
and with ignorant bliss I honoured the date –
but then it got hijacked, sullied, gazumped
by a self-serving bigot, a foul gibberlump.

With him, I would share an infectious disease,
a mouldy bread roll, an infestation of fleas,
a romantic weekend at a toxic waste dump –
but please, not my birthday, Mr. Tangerine Chump.

Alternative dates he’s welcome to try –
12th Febtember, 33rd July.
But 14th June? In a lake, take a jump
and find a new date, you deranged sewage pump.

A post-Ofsted inspection #parkrun for me this morning. A nice, gentle stress-buster. Thank you, volunteers.

I didn't want to push hard at #parkrun this morning. I just wanted to plod. So that's what I did. Loved it.

 Today is the first time seven batters have scored 30+ in the same ODI innings 🤯

England's top seven all scored 30+ to reach 400/8 against West Indies at Edgbaston

When De Zerbi and Groß left, and we appointed a manager I'd never heard of, I would have very happily taken 8th place. I've had my doubts along the way, but 61 points with a young squad and multiple injuries is an impressive return. Up The Albion! #bhafc

What an entertaining game of football last night. Terrific fight from the Albion. Gruda is going to be great to watch next season. Salah's miss..... #bhafc

Impossible to overstate the damage done to the education of our children by SATs. Year Six used to be the crowning glory of primary education. Now it's just an incessant 'how to pass a test' workshop. The results provide nothing that teachers don't already know.

Can't fault the ref's effort levels here. He's worked his socks off to make sure Newcastle get something out of this. #bhafc

Main takeaway from this morning's #parkrun was that I loved it.

First run in three weeks at Eastbourne #parkrun. Plodded round in the sunshine and loved it. Now to see if the Albion can ruin the day. #bhafc

Would you allow me to steal a line from Edmund Blackadder? Albion's tempo today was slower than 'an asthmatic ant carrying heavy shopping.' #bhafc

Ah well, not to be. Respect to every player who stepped up to take a penalty. Lovely touch from Murillo to shake hands with every Brighton player before going to celebrate with the Forest fans. Class. #bhafc

I'm confused. It's Fulham. We never beat Fulham. Love it!! #bhafc
