I once encountered Patrick Stewart at a concert at Barbican Hall. I was at the bar, ordering my drink and he appeared next to me. I was starstruck, but didn’t want to spoil his evening out. I just smiled at him and he smiled back, dipping his head in gentle acknowledgement.

Watching Ade Edmondson and @exitthelemming spotting Red Kites in Wales. 100s of the wonderful creatures. I was in Ahmedabad in February and they have Kites in similar numbers and it is an extraordinary sight. Lots here in Bedfordshire too.

My neighbours have split up. Married with 2 kids. Talking with him, apparently no-one else is involved, but she wants out of the domesticity. She’s been going out with her colleagues after work, while he’s at home. I feel for the kids and I feel for him.

She’s found a new place and settling in. He’s bought her out by taking on a new mortgage but now is financially strained. Won’t be mortgage free till 68. It’s just sad watching them pass by the house as they load up her car with stuff.

It’s knock-out time for the World Cup. Instead of a penalty shoot-out, I reckon that for every two minutes of extra time, each team loses a player, starting with defenders, then midfielders, then goalies. Whoever scores first wins.

The ref reckons it’s time for a hydration break.

When Strand Larsen stepped up for the penalty I got a familiar feeling.

I got a hug from my daughter today. From a teenager who accepts hugs begrudgingly and rarely gives them. It lifted me in ways she can probably never fathom. I can’t imagine how Sanjoy and parents like him who have lost children in the worst imaginable way get through each day.
On this Father’s Day, missing my little girl Grace, my daughter, the ‘love of my life’ the best gift my wife ever brought to this world for me. She was my friend, my advisor my critic, a best mate……I miss desperately @Fhamiltontimes @Alison1mackITV @AllisonPearson @AlexDaviesJones @wesstreeting @NotThatBigIan @nottm_post @nottsinquiry

Thinking about Kenny Jackett and the great job he did getting Wolves out of League One. Underrated, but not by Wolves fans. Thanks Kenny, RIP.

Tough afternoon seeing @BedfordBluesRFC falling at the final hurdle. So proud of the team for all they’ve done this season. All credit to @WorcsWarriors for winning the @champ_rugby. A great atmosphere today!

Watching The Flash (it’s streaming for free) and see that the filming location for his workplace is Senate House in London, the same location used for the courthouse in Batman Begins.
