Many congratulations to Stephen Wood, who achieved his 1000th volunteer at Grangemoor, Cardiff this morning. An incredible achievement. 👏👏 #parkrun #volunteer #grangemoor #cardiff

I'm looking like I'm having way too much fun at Tremorfa #parkrun this morning. Thanks to Carol for the photo. #cardiff #runsky

Only the excitement of seeing the 'Gunners' used as a location in #theguest is keeping me engaged. It's pretty poor fare to be honest. #gabalfa #cardiff

I think this second series of The Sandman on Netflix is some of the best TV I've ever seen. Two episodes to go and I really don't want it to end. #thesandman #Netflix #fantasy

Having a run through of @marillion.com studio albums. It's been fun listening to them in order. Afraid of Sunlight is still far and away my favourite. #nowplaying #progrock #musicsky

@marillion.com , Staropramen and YouTube on the big tele. Perfect. 🙂

The organisers of the #vuelta have done a remarkable job keeping the race going whilst still being sympathetic to the pro-Palestinian prostets taking place. I hope they manage to finish in Madrid.

Poorly shot video of 'G' on Caerphilly Road, Cardiff this afternoon. #tourofbritain #geraint #teamineos

I saw Kajagoogoo supporting Fashion at Cardiff Uni a billion years ago. Funny to see Nick Beggs a serious prog musician now. 🙂

Not my favourite of theirs. Side one is great, but the album fades away on side two; except for Ghost if a Chance which is lovely. I love the title track on the live r30 set.

All great albums, although I feel some of Fish's lyrics sound a bit dated now.
