Grateful as I was that the humidity made the boy’s swing bowling unplayable last night, I am now sweating like a pig and it’s not yet 8 o’clock

That is the worst wall in football history

Ah, the familiar sight of captain Joe Root with his head in his hands

Arise Sir Kevin ❤️ Actual tears. Still think of him as my idiotic kid brother’s sensible mate. Proud doesn’t cover it.

Wow. Kemps on fire. 🔥

What a day that was

Literally the first time I ever predicted a Eurovision winner. Maybe I’m down with the kids. Suspect more likely the oldies are voting. Bhangaranga.

Surely computers can count quickly now. Do we really have to wait this long?

Where is My Lovely Horse in this montage

Have just switched on Eurovision. No idea who this is or what has gone before but I already have a winner

Left a note for the boy

Wow. Just wow. Wuuuuuuuuuu

WHAT. A. MATCH.

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

This might be the best Snooker World Championship in years, possibly ever

Didn’t have time to take a photo because I was using my phone to keep score but I got to see a beautiful sunset over Regents Park last night as I watched my boy play cricket. Sooo much better than standing in the freezing rain on the side of a muddy football pitch. #cricketmum > #footballmum any day

Alex Yee is some kind of pacemaker!

#worldbooknight Because I’m jealous he wrote this one when I thought I was too old to read about anthropomorphic mice in an Abbey eating delicious food (the boy is 2 books ahead already…)

And just like that it appeared on my phone in time. I could be watching Aussie Rules if I really wanted. I don’t.

So the HBO Max app is said to be expected on 28 March but TNT moves there on 26 March 🤔

Even I’m starting to believe

Can someone cut his hair? #t20worldcup

Even more fun in actual snow

Adding snowboard cross commentary is elevating our trips down the rapids at Center Parcs

Words cannot express how much i love this man. Absolutely living his best life and deserves every minute www.theoldhamtimes.co.uk/news/2581845...

Whilst I spend a fair amount of my time overwhelmed by the pace of technological change, I am right this moment charging my phone on an electric bus and I am all for it.

Neil Robertson is on FIRE

OH is working on the boy’s musical education. We’ve got Revolver on. He’s now wandering the house singing “we all play in blue and tangerine”. My work here is done. #oafc

Spent less than 5 mins in the garden listening to the fireworks Armageddon. Jees those people on the Thames must be cold. 🥶Happy New Year everyone.

I did NOT expect to wake up and hear Scott Boland heading out to open

JUST BAT SENSIBLY!

Honestly, the under 11s catch more than this

Catches win matches

Harry Brook is an idiot

Harry Brook is a lucky idiot

Australia are going to slowly chase this down aren’t they

Well things are certainly improving since I tuned it at 6 for my usual muttering of FFS England

I’m getting fed up of getting little to no 4/5g signal. Currently on giffgaff, which uses 02 network. Considering switch to leaves, which uses Vodafone. Anyone any experience of whether it’s any better?

Oh wow Remco. What have you done?

OF COURSE Radiohead have made buying tickets complicated

Alec Stewart was born on 8 April 1963 and scored 8463 test runs.

It’s that time of year again when I must point out that kids love the Hundred and that cricket has no future without kids. Test match tickets cost upwards of £150. We’re taking the family for less than £100 today to see international stars. T20 blast is a beer fest so we don’t go.

It’s FAR too early to be football season eve.

Standing outside the doors waiting for Brent Cross to open is the closest I ever get to questioning my life choices

Getting sent off for pulling hair? Feel like I’ve seen that somewhere before….

Sold Frank Skinner a second hand kids cricket helmet

After a very tense day trying to work and listen to TMS I’m off to watch kids’ cricket, which plays with my nerves at the best of times

Well the cricket is going rather well

That is outrageous
