Liz Ward and Ian King have already written some thoughtful things on what we’ve seen over the last week regarding Rainbow Laces and the Premier League but I’m going to throw in some thoughts because, I obviously speak for the entire queer community…

As ever, it was an absolute honour to be part of the Barclays WSL Hall of Fame Selection Panel. Congratulations to 2024's inductees: Alex Scott MBE, Gilly Flaherty, Rebecca Welch and Steph Houghton MBE. Four women who've made outstanding contributions to the women's game both on and off the field.

Spine Race fact #15 (I think)

The Langdon Beck checkpoint has their korma game on point! Now known as the Teesdale Tandoori, it is staffed by the most awesome team of experienced spine gurus

Super new sign conceived & modelled by one of the ruddy awesome managers @jenoneill.bsky.social

Signed up to @thegreenrunners.bsky.social today. Been faffing about it for months 🙄 Didn’t think I was worthy enough or what my pledge would be. I know. 😵‍💫 Farking stupid. Anyway, it feels good. 👍🏻 I’ll share more later. All timely too ‘cos my fave trainers need repatching. #pairups #fingersnottoes

Facey B just flagged that it's the anniversary of having my face reflected on a shiny award while an Olympic Gold Medalist did a pirate impression at an emerging England #Lionesses star. 😁

Have tweaked my back, in a typically middle-aged fashion. Was unsure on the sense of heading out for a a hilly 10k headtorch run with a pal. It was jeffing glorious up here in Upper Weardale. Calm, cool, quiet and fabulous company. My ❤️ is happy!

A spot of nostalgia... I started at On the Ball women's footie mag in 1998. As well as editing OtB I was also a columnist for The Times newspaper (Fri + Mon) and provided weekly round-ups, fixtures, results & tables for Teletext for a few yrs too.

Some UK sunrises 🌅 that have filled me with joy in recent years.
Seems fitting to kick off this new, more positive era. Good morning & 👋🏻 to all good souls on BlueSky. 🥰
