Just finished this ⬇️. It truly is a fascinating read about the history of some of the world's borders. There are quite a few that are bonkers when you read their backstories. Proper page turner.

More than 100,000 miles from Earth. Slowing down but still travelling at around 3600mph now. This is the view from the office window. #Artemis #Artemis2

🚨 New picture just dropped by NASA of Earth at night captured by an astronaut Reid Wiseman 🌍

If everything continues to be nominal with the countdown, then the real version of this ⬇️ "bad boy" will launch this evening. First time for humans to go around the moon in over fifty years. Godspeed to the crew of Artemis II - Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🌎 🚀 🌕

There they are, the boys 7️⃣🧙🏻‍♂️❤️🖤 #Wizards

Happy Saint David’s Day to all who celebrate ‘Gwnewch y pethau bychain mewn bywyd'

Finished this ⬇️ tonight. A raw, frank, and at times difficult read. It’s an eye-opener into the life of Bradley Wiggins - very fascinating.

Finished this ⬇️ earlier. A great, timely insight into the geopolitics and changing climate of the Arctic region. Well worth a read!

I was around in 1968, but was way too young to comprehend the significance of that year and the fact the US was trying to find new ways to rip itself to shreds. Apollo 8 saved that year with a dramatic Christmastime flight around the Moon. Can Artemis II save 2026? (keep in mind it's only January)

What a weird name for a dog. But sorry for their loss.

Just finished this ⬇️ McCloskey’s third novel - and once again, it’s excellent.

We have the German physician Franz Anton Mesmer to thank for giving us the right word to describe Rhys’ performance. It was simply mesmerising, an actor at the top of his game, paying homage to another great ✍️Jon Gower

Wales' lineout with Adam Beard post-RWC2023: 91% Wales' lineout without Adam Beard in that time: 73% Throw in the fact that he made as many tackles as the NZ starting locks combined and Wales have modded their defence to be led by him and I'd say that's worth a spot in the team.

When you’re just trying to get some pizza, but @cymruwizardess.bsky.social is far too busy admiring the Springbok scrummaging in Dublin…

Had a fantastic long weekend in London with @cymruwizardess.bsky.social at Rouleur Live - packed with great talks, amazing kit, and plenty of good food and drink. Perfect few days.

Awesome couple of days at our second @rouleurmagazine.bsky.social Live with @gange.co.uk 🚲 Three days in a cycling bubble and lots of free promotion for #SanPortablo 😁 🎤🩷🇬🇧🌈🇨🇦💛🇫🇷🚵🏻‍♀️🇳🇱⏱️🇮🇹🤩 #RouleurLive

Just finished this ⬇️ - a superb new book on the modern space race: Musk’s SpaceX vs Bezos’ Blue Origin, NASA vs the private sector, and the US vs China. Fascinating, detailed, and brilliantly told. Highly recommended!

Morning all. Photographer John Bulmer. A woman walking down a wet street of terraced houses in the north of England in 1963. The street is paved with setts.

Just finished this ⬇️ by Luke Rowe - a brilliant insight into the role of a pro-cycling road captain and Luke's own experiences. Learnt loads that'll change how I watch future races. Easily one of the best pro-cycling books I've read!

Finished this ⬇️ this evening. Fascinating book following the life of a nuclear submarine officer from the mid-80s.

What a game in Sonning this afternoon! Aberavon trailed the Rams 24-0 after 36 mins and 24-5 at the break… then came back with 33 unanswered second-half points to win 38–24 🤯 A useful pre-season game for both squads and a standout performance from Ben Gregory 👏🏻 🔴⚫

We go again! Aberavon RFC kick off pre-season in Sonning against the Rams RFC . After a great evening in Reading with Mrs G, it feels fitting to have a pre-match lunch at a pub called The George before the match. 🧙🏻‍♂️🔴⚫🏉

The atoms within you once burned in the heart of stars, chaotic and lifeless, and yet here you are, after half a dozen or so billion years, arranging them into love, questions, and hope. You are a miracle, a thermodynamic miracle.

Saddened to hear of Jim Lovell’s passing. He's long been one of my favourite astronauts - especially for Apollo 8.

Farewell & thanks for everything Captain James Lovell. Apollo 8 Command Module Pilot - arguably NASA’s boldest mission - Commander & survivor of the ill fated Apollo 13. I’ve met few people more inspiring or more generous with their legacy. God Speed, safe flight. #AdAstra #NASA

This planet is run by crazy people. Remember what they have to do to get where they are. Their perspective is so narrow, so...brief. A few years. In the best of them a few decades. They care only about the time they are in power. - Carl Sagan, Contact

These two sentences did make me chuckle...

Joyeux anniversaire Mrs G x ♥️

Really enjoyed hearing @carltonkirby.bsky.social talk all things Tour de France this evening. Great stories… and impressions! Can’t wait to hear Carlton back on the tellybox from Saturday!

Finished this ⬇️ last night – the follow-up to The Satsuma Complex. Absolutely brilliant. If you're a fan of Bob, make sure you read them both!

Very much looking forward to this and the next six weeks.
