#DragoninWinter. Right up there in Worst Moments in #Television History. The writer & director in particular should never work again. 😆 #HouseofDragons

Some brilliant players on the park (& it was dramatic) but wow. Over-riding feeling is frustration+. Lizelle Lee scandalously, repeatedly poor. Bouchier’s throwing notably weak. #Graham’s batting garbage but somehow #WelshFire get there. Error-strewn barely covers it. #Hundred #SouthernBrave
Subscribe to @bylinetimes.bsky.social cos it’s right-on (& important) but also cos of the Fabulous Deep Shit - like the article on the power & need for #art & the ‘tyranny of #literacy’. Chapeau again: read & learn!
Rarely search on me or my #books. But interested to see (yesterday) they can be found in multifarious places. Some no doubt more ethical than others. Stand by them: think they’re original… & interesting. #music #sport #coaching #stories

Good news. The Occidental Cricketers cap, presumed lost, has just been exhumed from the depths of a golf bag. 👀 Presented to me on a fabulous day with OC & @pembsseniors @LlanrhianCC.
Sunday morning Bacon…Self Portrait with Injured Eye 1972. Rough night.
First Sunday off in living memory. Cater for mater; swim; get ready for more travels 🏏tomorrow.
Kinda spiteful race - elbows out about every five metres - but some extension away from #Kerr. To change gear & finish *that clear* is pret-ty extraordinary. Has what we might call a 'champion's ego', yes? #CommonwealthGames #athletics #JossKerr

I literally just took a photo of it in case nobody believed me
Have sold a copy of #PowerChords from the local farm shop. Not sure that’s entirely #punk but pleasing nevertheless. 😎💥🎸
Rick Walton@waltwriting.bsky.social · 7mo agoYour fave indie #bookshop can get you #PowerChords. Or buy online. Both easy. #music #books #punk #newwave #protest #songs www.amazon.co.uk/POWER-CHORDS...
Daft but serious enquiry. Are #MountainWarehouse on here? Or how do I get to them? #tents #camping
Rick Walton@waltwriting.bsky.social · 5d ago#Tents. I have a Buxton 4 #MountainWarehouse tent which I foolishly lent to my offspring. The rear-most rib/pole (which arches to support the bedroom section) was lost in post-festival carnage. It's shorter than the 2 other ribs. Where/how might I replace it? #camping #spares #accessories

I live here & yooo prolly don’t. 😎 #Pembrokeshire #coast
Update: cos #Pembrokeshire has everything & knows everything, it rained medium-copiously overnight. So whilst the rest of humanity deservedly dies out, we’ll be tidy like. #lifesrichwotnots #tidylike 🤓
Rick Walton@waltwriting.bsky.social · 7d agoYou lot sweltering & mad-parched. #Pembrokeshire has seen spells of light rain & max temperatures of about 70 degrees over the last coupla days. #lifesrichwotnots

Suspect plenty of us will be thinking of this. Strong, strong singing. Touching. Thankyou, mate. #GlenHansard www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8mt...

Don’t normally do romance but #Once struck me as a rather lovely, musical film. #RIP #GlenHansard
The #dementia thing. Extravagant anxiety. Cruel confusion. Relentless- & in many, many families. Tough, eh?
One unleashes the *hounds* of Hell, not the gates of Hell, you illiterate moron.
Wish I was in a position to believe this sport/this effort was *entirely clean*... but I'm not. However #Pogacar storming up #AlpedHuez (& catching great climbers ahead of him). Thrilling & magbloodynificent. #TourdeFrance #cycling
Rick Walton@waltwriting.bsky.social · 2w agoOne of the great moments in sport? I think so. #TourdeFrance #AlpedHuez

Masses of #cricket action, lately. Playing & #coaching. Mostly wonderful. 'Cept me feet are bloody killing me. #lifesrichwotnots

Absolutely an observation rather than a criticism, but #UK so-o expensive now, to eat/drink/do anything. Ordinary pub grub plus pint. £26. #hospitality #lifesrichwotnots
