Only just realised @tensionfinearts is 5 mins' walk away, in Maple Road, let alone that there was an exhibition there by Mark Wallinger, of 'Ecco Homo' and 'Labyrinth' fame. 'Gravity is the Weakest Force in the Universe'. Very enjoyable.

Saturday, another excellent Paul Talling walk - Limehouse & Poplar. Dennis Waterman but no Minder; Black Ditch & White Horse; old stations & old pubs; dog memorial & old graffiti; drinks part-way through at Callaghan's & at the end at The Old Ship. Very hot...

How Surrey are bucking trend for declining crowds at county matches. Impressive club doing most things right thetimes.com/article/638ebe…

Very nice of Surrey to put County Cricket Day into the history books with their highest ever team score #CountyCricketDay

But all records this week have an asterisk

In which 'Tai Chi moves' Kieran Maguire & 'no chance of a quick pint' Kevin Hunter Day talk of: Rod Stewart & Mandy Rice-Davies; bulls & spiders; Bolivia & Amazon; thin capitalisation & manic Tories; tea & tariffs: nostrils & Elbow.

At the Oval at lunchtime, Huw Turbervill signing copies of his latest book 'The Final Test'- the uncertain future of the first-class game. Hugely relevant right now. #firstclasscricket

Very good gig by Stiff Little Fingers at Tramshed Cardiff with great support from #tvsmith. The only problem, much though I love Tim, was that the support was supposed to be the #themeffs. Communication, peeps... Hey ho, as said, good gig.

In which 'going quiet, a frown on his face' Kieran Maguire & 'not middle-class comedian' Kevin Hunter Day talk of: Walter Mitty & Mr Creosote; Stone Island & Stone Roses; Canal & tyres; weasel & otter; skateboards & Crocs; Casdon (Soccer &) Sensible Soccer; Devil & deep blue sea.

I was away from Chippenham when July mugged me (I really didn't see it coming) so here, belatedly, are the Palace / Peter May Boys / Carter USM pages for the month. Also a useful reminder that we won the FA Cup 😁 ❤️💙🏆 #cpfc #carterusm #petermayboys

Did Keir Starmer really say he “Shares Trump’s family values?” I wouldn’t have thought Starmer was the type to shag a porn actress while his wife was looking after their baby but people always surprise you.

This is good. 👏👏👏

This is an important paragraph in Surrey's statement. It's superb to see genuine optimism and belief in the potential of the County Championship

🧮 Confrimation that the attendance is a fantastic 1️⃣4️⃣6️⃣5️⃣ A huge thank you 💙 (1-1) #CHIvBRI #BlueArmy 💙

In a phase of Paul Talling walks every w/e at the mo. This week, Woolwich All-Dayer. The old Royal Docks, Woolwich Ferry, a decaying old Mersey ferry, the impressively rejuvenated Royal Arsenal area, much talk of three troublesome kids on bikes... As ever, excellent.

Travelled on the National Express 12.30 403 from Vic to Chippenham just now. Always puts a smile on my face to see Cliff is the driver. Went through biblical rain, but his driving was as smooth as always. A chap travelling with his not young dad complimented him as well. Deserved

Following the recent tragedy in the Pawleyne Arms where access to a defibrillator could have saved a life landlord Mark has started raising funds to purchase and have one fitted. Please consider making a donation. Details can be found below ⬇️ Please share gofund.me/1570ef23

20 years on. Lest we forget that horrible day, the 52 who died and the several hundreds whose lives were changed for ever. Man can do horrible things. Let us try to choose peace and love.

Huge thanks to everyone who supported both County Cricket Days. Your energy really has created something special. Admin's going to take this cursed app off their phone now because it's breaking their brain, so will only check in occasionally #CountyCricketDay

Would one of the England Men's team like to answer this? (Not you, Smudge, Harry or Brydon, unless you want to talk about others)
