Sometimes I randomly stop and think about the Everton Lukaku. That was peak Lukaku. He was so unbelievably good in that period. Not many strikers have been better than that version of Lukaku.

Picked up from a secondhand bookshop over the weekend. Oscar Wilde’s most famous work, and the 2020 Booker Prize winner. A splendid dichotomy between old and new 👌

We're officially in the base miles stage of #marathontraining, 17 slow steady miles #running this morning, my longest run since The Yorkshire Marathon in October. Felt comfortable, going to build up distance + pace now through the next 3 months #LeedsMarathon Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All Leeds Hospitals Charity

Another 10 miles in the bag this morning, including a trip to #robertspark in beautiful #Saltaire for a #parkrun mid-run. #loveparkrun #marathontraining #LeedsMarathon Leeds Hospitals Charity #ukrunchat #Bradford2025 #BD25

Mesmerising shots, captured in 1909 by renowned Italian photographer, Vittorio Sella, of a game of polo and a river crossing on a goat bladder raft in Baltistan, northern Pakistan. 116 years ago, simply stunning.

I loved reading this. A moving meditation from Peter Hitchens on lost time, the pain of nostalgia, and the perils of opening a cupboard. thelampmagazine.com/blog/all-shall…

“The true magic of this broken world lay in the ability of the things it contained to vanish, to become so throughly lost, that they might have never existed in the first place.” By no means flawless but a terrific read nonetheless.

There's still a few days left to experience my #CoalLines installation in the new wxwakefield building alongside the #Sentinel sculpture. The piece uses the relative depths of the 34 #Wakefield pits to create a musical score with brass band, audio clips and canary song.

First proper post-shingles (still got shingles?) run, attempting to get back on track after the #marathontraining derailment. Beautiful morning at Huddersfield parkrun #parkrun, perfect setting for a comeback! #loveparkrun #ukrunchat Leeds Hospitals Charity #LeedsMarathon #runchat #running

The Dreams I Had, Andrea Dunbar A fitting tribute to this iconic writer at St George’s Hall tonight with a brilliant performance of extracts from her work. An exploration of serious topics with wit & humour, still relevant 40yrs later. We need more Dunbar in #Bradford #BD25

Jesus Christ, I’ve never wanted anybody to win something more than I want Luis Enrique to win the CL this year after seeing this. I’ve got a nine year old daughter and this just flawed me. What a man

Absolutely hilarious. Rambles on in places but the humour more than makes up for this. It was written as a humorous travelogue in the late 19th century but metamorphosed into an accidental classic and remains a comic gem. The centuries come and go but human nature never changes.

Delighted with my #running this morning, recovering from shingles, need to decide whether to get back on the #marathontraining plan for #LeedsMarathon or not - think I'm gonna be OK! Not in #PB shape but "getting around" shape is good enough Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All Leeds Hospitals Charity #ukrunchat

Hit the wall #marathontraining this morning but pleased it didn't happen until mile 19, dug in and got through to 20. This part of the #LeedsLiverpool canal is popular with the #marathon elites, we spotted Phil Sesemann's crew plus Emile Cairess this morning #ukrunchat

Another 20 miler in the books, the difference from last week was that this one had 1,400 ft of elevation (you don't get that #running on the canal!) 5 weeks out from Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All Leeds Hospitals Charity #LeedsMarathon #marathon #marathontraining #ukrunchat

They can mock our cheap tickets, but that's over 45,000 fans through the gates for two matches in the fourth division and scenes that some top flight European clubs could only dream about! An entire new generation of first-time fans now hooked on our club, sensational. ❤️ #BCAFC

23 days out from the #LeedsMarathon, longest and toughest #marathontraining run this morning, glad that's done, bring on the #taper ..... It wasn't pretty or quick but 22+ miles is 22+ miles! Leeds Hospitals Charity Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All #ukrunchat #loverunning

Tackled the #Leedsmarathon Otley Chevin hill this morning + the beautiful Chevin forest #parkrun (although arriving over 15 mins late isn't going to do wonders for our average parkrun UK times!) Last #marathontraining run Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All Leeds Hospitals Charity #ukrunchat #running
