Play started in the Test at 11.00 this morning and finished at 6.30, just as Sri Lanka v England started in the Women's T20 World Cup and Glos v Somerset in the Men's T20 Blast. This is bliss. In other news, I think my wife may have left me...

At Queen's, Emma Raducanu has beaten Anna Blinkova. Despite defeat, Blinkova will be back in action later in the week in the doubles with her partner Katarina Nye.

Best head to the BOOKSHOP. Research beckons. ❤️

A superb shot by Patrick Eagar of Mike Procter in full flow for Gloucestershire in 1972. International cricket's loss was Gloucestershire's gain. In 13 years at the county, Procter scored 20072 runs and took 1113 wickets in all forms of cricket

Yesterday, Gloucestershire began a County Championship match with Northamptonshire. They lost a wicket to the first ball of the match, were 0-2 soon after and 19-4 a little further on. In the evening, Bristol Rugby played Northampton and lost 94-33. Bad day.

Everything is bad now because kids get their taste in music from algorithms instead of from trying to impress the older girl you know who looks like the Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator

Oh the joy of watching Glos take their first wicket of the season! Back from the Good Friday service at church in time to tune into Middlesex v Glos at Lord's. Deep joy.

He is so beautiful...

I am really appreciating Jesus off to the side here, raising a hand in a way that seems to just signify, "Ah, isn't it lovely."

Celebrating the Spring Equinox today 20th March when the length of day and night is the same at 12 hours, and the sun is exactly over the equator. So spring officially begins with more sunshine, flowers and bees (hopefully!). A medieval view of this.

Amazon are partnering with Comic Relief to sell their red noses. Last year Comic Relief raised £34 million which is how much Jeff Bezos makes in six hours. Dig deep everyone.

Enjoying the sunshine (and my National Trust membership!) Much needed time to breathe after such a busy few weeks.

Another one for you, @petite-sally.bsky.social!

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

@craftivists mini protest banner. Took me 6 months to make as I’m not very good at sewing! I’ve put this up on a fence at the end of the footpath leading to my children’s school. A gentle nudge to passersby to encourage them to make a difference for good. #craftivist #trowbridge #gentleprotest

One month to go until Day One at Lord’s 🏏 ⏳The wait is nearly over… See you at the @homeofcricket.bsky.social 💛🖤 #BecomeGlorious

Would love Celtic to find an equaliser against Rangers to keep the title race interesting in Scotland. Hawkins v Lisowski in final of the Welsh Open of the snooker, both worthy winners. India and West Indies play off for a semi-final place. No one in sight to disappoint me for once!

Fascinating to read this. Good to know Labour have started addressing the problem, although it's obvious there's a long way to go.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Things I'd do if I had a time machine: Go and see The Beatles in Hamburg Get a ticket to see the Brazilian Grand Prix in 2008 Buy The Lord of the Rings on the day it came out See Robin Williams perform stand up

Egypt - day one 🌞 The Grand Egyptian Museum truly lived up to its name. But in the midst of the monuments & bling I found a few more natural, humble inspirations. Animals were crucial part of Egyptian mythology, religion and artistry - as they are across the world. Tongues out! 😛 #Egypt #egyptology

Happy 40th anniversary to The Legend of Zelda! A series forever in my heart!

Good morning. We are open. 📖☕️

I see lots of books like Post Growth, Post Trauma and Post Depression. I'm contemplating writing a book about how emails mean we never send letters any more and calling it Post Post.

Here’s another idea - every adult is given training in how to reduce their carbon footprint and encourage nature. Just a thought, as we are now in a death spiral of ecosystem collapse and environmental catastrophe according to their own report. 🙄 @ukparliament.parliament.uk #UKGovernment

A useful 'roll out’ instead would be training to spot AI produced content and scams - and while they’re at it - training on online manipulation and lies 🙄

You always know things are going well when it's half past 12 at night and you're sat reading Wikipedia articles about Funhouse and Otis the Aardvark.

Our organist often plays Faure's Pavane before a service and I've frequently mentioned how much I like it. I've never gone on to explain I particularly like it because of the time S Club 7 used it in a song.
