    Day 10: ritual #mbmar

    Reading in bed with the first cup of tea is how we start every day

    Day 9: together #mbmar

    This photo of me and my eldest nephew has pride of place on the mantelpiece. It was taken on their first visit to us

    Day 8: walk #mbmar

    My local park looking glorious on my lunchtime walk today. I struggled to choose which picture to share

    Day 7: whole #mbmar

    Not for long 😋

    Day 6: engineering #mbmar

    This is Dunston Staiths, one of the largest timber structures in Europe. It was built in the 1890s to move coal arriving by rail from the Durham coalfields directly onto trade ships on the River Tyne.

    Kept the faith with my Liverpool players and they did me proud today. Second half of the season not going too badly for me after languishing around 4.5m rank at the World Cup break. Any other FPL players out there in micro.blog land? ⚽️

    Day 5: tile #mbmar

    This is one of a series of mosaics in an underpass nearby. The image is of Newcastle upon Tyne’s iconic Civic Centre

    Day 4: zip #mbmar

    Just the other side of midnight but it’s still Saturday somewhere

    Day 3: solitude #mbmar

    Bubblebath

    Day 2: weather #mbmar

    It’s been a bit wet lately but we seem to have turned a corner today. Still chilly; a reminder that it’s not quite Spring yet.

    Day 1: secure #mbmar

    SA put up a good fight for a first final against a team they’ve never beaten in T20 but just not enough in their batting lineup.

    Who is going to stop the Australian juggernaut? And when? 🏏

    Sunday sports day: 🏏 T20 World Cup final, 🏉 big Six Nations game, ⚽️ EFL Cup final. Might need some multi-screen action to cram it all in

    My body clock needs a reset — been waking up on the dot of 05:20 every morning this week 🥱

    Went to see the sea today

    Finished reading: The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles 📚

    I read this with anticipation having loved the author’s previous book, A Gentleman in Moscow. Sadly this just isn’t anywhere near as good and I can’t quite put my finger on why. Underwhelming.

    I listened to an interview with the new England coach yesterday and I’m hopeful for our chances at the Women’s T20 World Cup… but ask me again after we play the West Indies today 🏏

    I really think more of a distinction should be made between a missed penalty and a saved penalty ⚽️
