Big fan of the sky on tonight's long trek with Apollo. I was asked what I wanted to do on my birthday later this week; 'walk 10 miles, alone, but with the dog' probably wasn't the anticipated answer!

For a long time, Gill has been building up the charity (their funds recently helped to open a new stoma clinic in Kenya), training for her latest fundraising feat, and working, all while supporting her family - including her incredible Dad.

So far, Cromer has had lovely skies, beaches and ice-cream, but not much sleep for the youngest kids (and therefore the rest of us)

Apollo and I made some friends. Well, I did. Apollo was too furious that he was late for tea.

It's almost like Apollo has forgotten border collies are supposed to like long walks in the rain.

I'm not sure anything will ever be worse than this. Thinking of my Italian @lawatleeds.bsky.social colleagues at this difficult time.

A lovely student brought me some pistachios from his family's farm, but I wasn't in the office to receive them. The note a colleague left on them made me laugh: Law School or not, nobody else's food is safe

Yesterday, I took Maya on a birthday tour of Goodison & down to our new ground. Just three more games left at the Grand Old Lady. Three more games of coming down those stairs. Three more games of briefly pausing & tapping the bannister where Dad used to turn left, while we turned right 💙

My favourite part of today's match? Hearing this between two of my (female, middle-aged) mates:
'So yeah, you'll need a spanner to get this bit off, and then it's a Philips head for the screws'
If you know, you know.
