God speed Jim Lovell. A true pioneer and hero.

Just heard that Terry Reid has passed away. One of the most criminally underrated singer songwriters ever. RIP to an absolute great.

Perfect pen choice as well.

When I left he was sat cross armed on a recumbent bike. Fair play, we've all got to keep it moving.

Not saying there’s a chilled vibe at my gym but there’s a chap on the rower in chinos, shirt and brogues.

First draft for the cover of book 4 in The Regulators came in last night. Revisions under way. Excited.

I'm sure all the "Protekt Are Kids!" lads are off to Didsbury today...

No...?

Me and my son, arm around each other, watching Oasis.

How do you explain this moment? Stood there, arm around your son, watching the band of your youth, your early adulthood, finally reformed. We sang, we danced, we cheered, we even did a Poznan. I definitely shed tears. Thank you #Oasis for a night I will never forget and hopefully neither will he.

This is it. This is happening.

Today. #Oasis

Allan Ahlberg, celebrated children's author, dies aged 87 He wrote more than 150 books, including The Jolly Postman and Each Peach Pear Plum.

RIP Allan Ahlberg. I can't imagine there are many of us who haven't read his work, be it as a kid, or to read to children. Often both, such is the timeless quality of his work. A man who brought so much joy to the world. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Conflicted views on the passing of Hogan. His later years were obviously mired in controversy & he was a complete wrong un. No excusing what he said & who he turned out to be. However, as a wrestling fan, it's impossible to ignore the joy he brought me & feel sad for the passing of that person.

South Park went in two footed and I am here for it.

The dummy was perfection. Wow.

Bonmati is just another level. What a player.

I feel our Axolotl is possibly the closest thing to a soulmate I’ve ever had.

RIP to one of the greatest frontmen ever.

World Health Organization condemns Israeli attacks on facilities in Gaza The UN agency accused Israeli forces of attacking a building housing its staff and their families in Deir al-Balah.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... How many more times will it take before people finally say enough is enough. This has to stop.

So everyone sending a cover letter to an agent this week is basing it off the Lee Child one, right? #Authors #AmQuerying

Me & kids have spent the week looking for the lowest Jersey number plate we could find. (J only, not JSY) we thought we’d peaked with 51 on Tuesday but we snuck a last gasp 46 in at the airport. Also saw the hallowed 69 on the bus ride this morning.

Dead Men Don't Pay (Walsh & Cribbs 60s Crime Series Book 1) It doesn't matter the era, the motivations for murder never change. is dead. His body abandoned at the dockside warehouse he worked at. The list of suspects is long and the motivations plentiful. But...

Yeah, nah, I need to sell enough books to move to Jersey.

Finally won the quiz at the hotel, so we can leave this holiday happy now. #Champions

Hell of a lot of people complaining about 16/17 year olds getting the vote for not being ready for the responsibility who willfully share AI generated content and fake news like it’s gospel.

Terrible news about Felix Baumgartner. Will never forget watching his jump from space. RIP.

Why can I never see one of these without hearing the line; “Have you seen me dancing? I mean, really dancing?”

I mean ultimately we’re only going for the one main deal because we can’t shift any of the players on Glazer wages. I’m not sure how anyone expected outgoings to get any easier with the change at the top. Wage bill is still the one they inherited. Until they sell this is all there is.
