i don’t know what everyone is panicking about. We’re 7 points off champs league with 33 games left to play. I can hear that pregame anthem already. #COYS

Cursed FC. Even my never-ending pots of optimism are becoming depleted.

Wanyama did it better.

We scored a goal!

I‘m honestly not too bleak about this. There is a style of play emerging, the players are passing and running, at times it looks good. We’re making chances - and all this while a number of players look uncomfortable. It’ll come. Maybe more hope than anything else but I have faith. #COYS

Gorgeous evening in London. With a very chirpy Robin.

been a pretty good birthday. Yes. We went to collect this little one, and latest addition to the family.

Dolly Parton's $1M seed $ via the Dolly Parton research fund spurned 37 research papers on the mRNA Covid vaccine. This is one of them. That $1M provided the pivotal support for developing the vaccine & assessing the antibody response. My kind of philanthropy. 🧪 www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

Full video of an extraordinary moment while watching the sunset in Contis, SW France.

Honestly no cheating! Sunset video screengrab last night. Extraordinary storms during and after sunset.

Up early to cycle to the beach, exercise, meditate, walk someone else’s dog, have a coffee, then pick up some baguette and croissant on the cycle back. Love holidays. 🇫🇷

So we get a dog in a month. Mini pyredoodle. Mainly as emotional support to my daughter (and all of us) as she moves to secondary school. #DogSky any tips for a family in a small house but next to woods. We’ll need to find a dog sitter a couple of days a week (max). It’s one of these guys:

Just finished The Bear. Wow. Perfect.

Yesterday, 34 degrees in London, where to take the kids? The library. Air conditioned, activities for younguns, their favourite books to chill and read. It was bliss. #LoveLibraries

Amen. #BookSky

A viral video claims that three quarters of pregnant women vaccinated against Covid experience miscarriages. As we explain, that’s not true at all. There’s no link between the vaccine and miscarriage.

Springwatch icon, humanist, and probably the UK's best-loved birdwatcher, Bill Oddie, has died aged 85. Very sad. Thank you for a lifetime of helping us understand nature.

Watched Hail Mary last night. Didn’t know too much about it, was not expecting what I got. Outstanding. I can’t believe I got that emotional about a rock. Thought Ryan Gosling was extraordinary in it. Watch it, it’s class.

Watched the full 90 mins from last night again to is morning with my daughter. A) I’m going to miss our family breakfast football sessions. B) the future is bright. Yes Kane will decline or go, but those lads have it. C) keep the manager. He’ll learn and never again make that mistake.

Daughter’s leavers assembly from year 6 today. It’s 7.49 and I’ve cried twice just thinking about it. Oh god.

This bit was good

We’ll always have the moment Gordon scored, followed by that tackle by Spence. That, in a World Cup semifinal, was glorious.
