It’s been a long and emotional day for many - my thoughts are with Ethan’s family - and a deep respect for the officers who brought this young child’s killers to justice. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ce...

Hello Covid my old friend…

Absolutely worth a stop - fantastic place with some lovely restaurants and an amazing walk around the ramparts!

so @campfiresocial.bsky.social have had a new ace animated video done for Atrophy, taken from their lp 'They Sound The Same Underwater' which we've released on Cream Vinyl 12". Go watch and enjoy here : www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mebc...

Went to see Mr Burton last night - a real pleasure - definitely worth a watch. Double bonus was to see it in Galeri in Caernarfon - a gem of place. youtu.be/h6Trx84-gy4?...

Not a bad lunch spot. All to ourselves. Got to love living in this area.

First run attempt of the year. Tough. But a pretty fine backdrop.

Been a bit of a week. From being petrol bombed on a training course - to Paris for a break. Lush.

Insightful look into UK debt, how we got there, and what it means. Certainly leaves you asking questions, such as who actually decides the interest rates to pay back that debt. And that is a whole other can of worms.

More amazing news this morning. Congratulations to Sam Dabb and everyone at Le Pub The Welsh music venue will now be placed into permanent protected status after its acquisition by Music Venue Properties

Absolutely made-up for @lepub.bsky.social and Sam Dabb - officially bought after the @musicvenuetrust.bsky.social campaign. Great news for the future of grassroots music in south Wales. I met Katie Hall from @chromabanduk.bsky.social when the campaign was launched: www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-w...

Why does culture and sport matter? I reflect on some of the findings of a Senedd report on BBC Wales Today this evening. Bottom line - sport and culture are good for your physical and mental health - and save health services a fortune. Does Wales need to spend more? senedd.wales/media/ekumt3...

Was absolutely enchanted by this piece - knew some - and was also educated. Proper interesting look at some influential post-punk: youtu.be/z1no60Ju-X4?...

Another prepped meal marvel - chicken and bean stew - with brown rice - also leftovers! We haven’t done a ‘big’ shop for over a week!

One of my ambitions this year is to cut down our food waste. My cunning plan is this: eat the food we buy. Tonight - it’s a chilli - frozen two weeks ago.

A break in the weather meant we got a New Year’s day stroll - #Savi the dog was delighted - and we paid a visit to this striking fella

Merry Christmas to all

Rhaglen wych, sy'n rhoi tŵf cerddoriaeth Gymraeg a Cymreig y 90au yn ei gyd-destun. If you want to understand where and how the 'Cool Cymru' era began, watch this. English subtitles available. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Power is back on - yay. Boiler doesn’t agree. Bah!

Day 2 without power… looks cosy. But not a lot of heat - no hot water - and need to find batteries and recharge things tomorrow. Apparently it’ll be another day until this is sorted. Job tomorrow - empty out the freezer. And find a shower…

Power still off. Little flickers now and then - enough to make a fairy light glow and the led street lights flicker. So hunkered down - soup and downloaded Netflix on iPad. #stormdarragh #eryri

I’ve had lots of new followers - thank you. I really should post some content. That’s always a challenge. So here’s my dog. I think he’s magnificent. This is Savi.

Lentil soup in a pressure cooker? Trying it out.

I expect it will be bloody ace - and I want a slice of the aceness…

Quick walk with the dog before it gets dark or starts raining/snowing/hailing! Not a bad place to live!

It’s definitely a three-layers sort of day - including the wooly jumper. First snow on Yr Wyddfa this year - looking stunning from my attic study.

Spent the morning chatting with a tax expert about why the inheritance tax changes are as straightforward as some think - and what it might mean for farmers. Now off to talk rugby and why Wales is not performing. Quite the Monday so far.
