A good sport, to give him his due. Plenty of bowlers couldn't be bothered with batting, only a few elevated this to art. Chris Martin is one.

Goodnight from Moxham, where Geraldine Moody is drunk on both rhubarb wine and the power of being Queen at the Misrule Feast. Goodnight from Virginia Haydon, wishing she’d ignored the frost and lingered for more kisses with her goose-footed lover. Goodnight from Hookland.

It's Tuesday which means it's time for our latest #WhereAndWhatIsIt #ColchesterConundrum
There's so, so much heritage and history in our great city.
Sometimes though we miss it as we scurry about.
We'll reveal the answer to this one on Friday afternoon

It's snowing in central London, at the same time that the BBC Weather app is predicting 0% chance of preciptation for the next three hours. One of these things is therefore incorrect ...

“They didn’t look very good out there, but they played hard.”
Boston’s five-game road trip took its toll, but the Celtics’ “competitive spirit” helped them overcome jet lag, fatigue, and a shooting slump.

I don't think it's just nostalgia everyone's feeling, I think people are sincerely lonely. And not just young white men, who are not special. I think all kids, gender aside, want to spend the next few years talking shit to their friends on used dirtbikes without surveillance.

Goodnight from Joanie Stradwick, putting a porcelain bean into the Twelfth-tide Cake she’s baking for tomorrow’s feast of misrule. Goodnight from Trudy Whittle, making the traditional Ephinany Eve offering to the Soot Sprite in the form of extra applewood logs. Goodnight from Hookland.

Feel free to take a look at this - Matt's put in a lot of work to unearth old women's county cricket scorecards that were buried deep on the internet and centralised the details in one place:
