I had a wonderful time running the Cardiff half today. This race really showcases the best of the city. Support was amazing, and all the runners did themselves proud.

These are the tubular bells in my local kid's play park. The fourth is extremely sharp so my daughter got an impromptu lesson about the lydian scale today!

Newcastle says no to fascism.

The far right brought a hundred or so with them, bussed from far and wide. This city turned out 1000s, from local communities, estates and streets. Geordies of all backgrounds coming together and outnumbering the purveyors of hate by some distance.

Newcastle united.

I went to see Spinal Tap 2 at the cinema tonight and loved it! A brilliant and worthy sequel to the original

There is a difference between protesting using violence and protesting the use of proscription - my urgent question on how to ensure we get the balance between tackling intimidation and protecting the right to protest. I will continue to urge ministers to review these laws to protect our democracy.

My haul from the reading spa this evening. Had to cut down from a pile of 14 books that I easily could have gone away with!! A really lovely evening, and such a great idea! Griffin Books is a very special part of Penarth. #booksky

Going to the wonderful Griffin Books tonight for a 'reading spa experience', a private shopping appointment guided by one of the store's booksellers. My wife got me this as a gift - she certainly knows me well. #booksky

I've had an absolutely wonderful weekend in Newcastle. One of the greatest cities in the world, that I was very lucky to grow up in. I don't make it back as much as I should, but I always love when I do.

Loved every minute of that. There's a reason this is the most popular half marathon in the world. Couldn't ask for a better race experience.

It's Great North Run day. Best race in the world. My training has gone pretty well, so it could be a fast one if nothing goes wrong!!
