Despite the heartbreak, we should be immensely proud of this young @England side. They have talent. They give everything. They have values. They are a credit to their sport and our country. And in these times of division and discord, they’re an example to all. And they will win.
Outside Lviv station, which is thronging with exhausted refugees fleeing war in eastern Ukraine, an accomplished pianist is playing “What a Wonderful World.” It’s hauntingly beautiful.
@badly_drawn_boy Congratulations Damon! I live just around the corner from you but 18 years ago you played the BEST gig at the Brixton Academy. In my top three gigs of all time. Now I rely on you for bin night! Good man!

@FranTollerson@bobservant@FranTollerson you were lucky to participate during the evening session once the cooking fat was a little cooler. One of the lads from the stables took the hose after his lunchtime cheeseburger. The yard tell me his lower reaches continue to fry. His dreams of riding at Ayr over.
So in a probably doomed attempt to stop everyone from being absolutely foul to each other, there now follows a thread of some of the birds you can expect to see in Britain this autumn and winter. #WinterBirds
