One of the best Roman sites in the Uk. Goes very will with a trip to Caerleon?

And happy Yorkshire day to you, Mr Grumbler.

Splendid. And the black mosaic beyond looks rather neat too. Very ordered and business like. What’s the view like from the back to the mountains?

For all the fact it’s been an awful season, that win felt good!

Just take care. I know I’m going to be a bit more careful in future. I’m too old to get injured!

My plan was to do the Rome marathon in 2026 but I got too eager and strained my calf so back to the drawing board. Be careful but enjoy.

I can’t believe 200/6 is not competitive in a t20. I mean it is what it is but wow…

Well done. Running is a brilliant thing to do. Can get a bit addictive. Great top.

Ok just saw the first two overs. I’m shutting up.

Not so grumbly this time eh? lol.

Better. Far better. I didn’t go but I’m really pleased the game became a spectacle for those who braved it. Fingers crossed for forcing a positive result.

I didn’t want to post that but spot on. Credit to the bowlers for keeping it tight but so very very dull. Shame because the ground scrubs up nicely but I just couldn’t get into it. Dull.

‘You book Neil Young you get Neil Young’ is the most concise way of summing up his career. Nice one! 👏👏👏👏👏

The quality of the art from this house is sensational. Such a shame the grander design of these paintings in the wall is lost.

My wife thinks you’ve done a great job and hopes you do something nice wearing it. Great work!

I really want to do that.

An illustration mimicking ancient Greek pottery art. It shows a painted black-figure scene on an amphora where a woman, likely a mother, is scolding a child holding a slingshot. The child appears guilty, glancing at a large, fresh crack in the side of the vase. Broken shards lie outside the vase, comically blending the painted scene with the real-world damage.

One of my all time favourites

Hard season for Yorkshire. I’ve seen a lot of progress but it’s not translating into results. Going to be a bit of a nail biter. Not that you’d care at all! Lol

Happy Anniversary. I’m very lucky to know how you feel with my lady. Have a great day.

The insula of the chaste lovers is super and leads to a handy, drinks/toilet stop.

You may need three or four days to get round it all. I’ve never known it better for things to see.

House of the Wounded Bear and House of Siricus also worth a diversion.

House of the Silver Wedding, House of the guilded Cupids, House of the Vettii. Walk towards the castellum aquae to get a good view of the new excavations(House of Leda). Villa of Diomedes. Villa Regina has a reopened antiquarium with that wedding carriage. New train stop for it. Enjoy.

The BSL during Finland was sensational #Eurovision

Surprised to find this lady in Blackburn museum.

Can you see the exterior of the ship at all?

I hope you get hooked. When it’s good it’s very very good indeed.

7373 for me. I do have a bit of a calf strain so that’s pretty good.

Massive game. Good luck. I’m hiding behind the sofa in a foetal position and will be offline until the end.
