Hockey, sailing, real ale and football accumulators. Married and the father of two children old enough to buy their round, even if they seldom do...

Finally gained access 10 mins into Q1... not a laptop issue; been watching all week...

. @EHLHockeyTV what's happened to the live feed of Den Bosch Gantoise?
It says the game hasn't started yet...

Excellent afternoon @shiregin distilling our own jaffa cake flavoured gin.

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

Privileged to be part of the @WalesHockey coaching set-up this week for the @Wrld_Mstrs_Hcky 65s, 70s & 75s Euros in Valencia.

Home tomorrow but back again soon with the o60s for their Euros!

Can't wait to see how that pans out - in temperatures hovering between 28 & 32C

@DaniGaravelli1 @LRB Evocative piece Dani: for those of us who witnessed it and then moved on to the next story, it feels now like this happened a lifetime ago, yet those directly affected are still shaped by it today.
And you raise so many other issues that I fear are still relevant.
Well done!

Finished product: weighing in at 44.4% ABV, heaviest in class!

Whiling away the afternoon distilling our own gin at @3wrensgin

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

From small drips, 70cl bottles will flow....

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

Perfect timing for the weekend: converted a beer voucher gifted for my birthday (and added to it slightly) from the Real Ale Store in Newark...

What to choose first?

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

Home from the Masters Home Nations in Swansea after three strong performances.

Pleasure to coach @WalesHockey M60s.

Looking forward immensely to the Euros in Valencia.

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

@SWilliamsCoach Valencia will be an experience!

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

@MBaggers37 Good luck Mike.

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

Home after a good🥈 for @HockeyWales M60s at the Celtic Cup at St Germain en Laye: narrow 1-0 defeat to 🇨🇵 in the final after some strong performances in the group.

On to the Home Nations in Swansea in mid-May.

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

At St Germain-en-Laye watching @HockeyWales M65s prepare for their second group game, this time against the hosts.

If you think a 9am pb is early, the 60s play at 8am tomorrow!

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

Delighted to be with @WalesHockey M60s Masters for the first competition of the summer

@RoyalMailHelp Update: @RoyalMailHelp DMs me in an 'all's well that ends well' way to say the letter arrived today.

I've suggested that as that is one day later than the guaranteed arrival date and several hours after the intended recipient left the UK this is not a success.

No reply...

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

. @RoyalMailHelp @RoyalMail what's the point of paying for guaranteed next day delivery to Cardiff for today (from Shropshire) only to find at 5.30pm it still appears to be in Chester?
Thoughts?

[Paul Dutton @psdutton]

@RoyalMailHelp I'll DM you but it's academic: she left the country this morning without the document due to arrive yesterday.

@Jennyamphlett Part of the Etruscan diaspora...
Good to see you too!
